How to Stream Enscape Projects through Chaos Cloud | Chaos

Enscape is already the easiest and fastest way to turn your models into immersive, real-time visualizations. Now, with Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming (Beta), presenting those designs to clients or collaborators is as simple as sharing a link. Upload your 3D scenes from Enscape to Chaos Cloud and let stakeholders navigate, comment, and explore your model exactly as you designed it, without needing high-end hardware or an Enscape license. In this guide, you’ll learn how to upload, stream, and share your projects step by step using Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming.

What is Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming?
Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming makes Enscape’s high-quality renderings accessible to anyone with access to the internet. Unlike traditional Web Standalones, there are no quality sacrifices—3D Streaming delivers the same visual fidelity as desktop Enscape right inside a browser. Viewers can explore scenes in real-time, leave comments, or even take controls during a live session. Available on any device, including tablets and smartphones, and VR headsets, 3D Streaming makes it easy to experience designs immersively from anywhere.

Uploading your 3D Scenes to Chaos Cloud
Getting started with 3D Streaming is simple:

1. Start Enscape in your CAD
2. Click on the Share Scene button in the Enscape toolbar.
3. Select a location in the pop-up window and click the Upload button to send your scene to Chaos Cloud.
4. Once uploaded, the scene appears in your My Projects space. You can rename, move, or copy your scene as needed.

Starting and managing a 3D streaming session
To start a streaming session:

1. Open your uploaded file from Chaos Cloud.
2. Click the Play button.
3. Click the Yes, start button to accept the Terms of Use to start the interactive session.
4. The session loads within minutes and remains active for up to 60 minutes, with a 30 minute inactivity timeout.
5. Click Stop when finished to end the session.

After starting a stream, you can hand over control so collaborators can explore independently or alongside you, making remote presentations and feedback sessions more interactive and efficient.

Navigating your scene
Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming supports keyboard and mouse controls on desktop and touch navigation on mobile.

Desktop controls
Use the Navigation controls to move around the scene.

• Movement: Use the W, A, S, D keys; hold Shift to move faster. Hold the Left Mouse Button to look around.
• Pan & Orbit: Middle mouse button drag. You can also use the Q, E, A, D keys to move the viewport.
• Zoom: Mouse scroll
• Modes: Toggle between Fly and Walk using the wings icon.
• Speed: Use number keys 1 to 5 to select movement speed.

Touch controls
When using the 3D Streaming feature on a mobile or tablet, use touch controls to navigate.

• Movement: On-screen joystick
• Look around: One-finger swipe
• Pan: Double finger swipe
• Zoom: Two-finger pinch
• Orbit: Three-finger swipe

Key tools and features
Viewpoints: Save specific camera locations to revisit important areas. This gives a more streamlined exploration of the scene and is perfect for guiding clients through key spaces or complex environments where quick access to critical areas is key for effective editing or visualization.

Snapshots: Capture your view at any moment as a high-quality render. The snapshots are saved to the same folder as your 3D scene. (Available to Editors only).

Comments: Add feedback directly in the model with the comment tool. Comments can include text, file attachments, and even drawings, which is perfect for marking revisions or highlighting design ideas.

Multiple floorplans: For big projects, assign multiple floorplans to your tour for easier navigation between levels and a better, more comprehensive overview of your design.

Why use Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming?
