The Enviz workflow at a glance
Enviz works in two stages:
Preview – a one-time first step to check your model
Enviz Space – a fully immersive, shareable experience built for real use
What is a Preview?
A preview is a fast, technical conversion (≈30 minutes) designed to validate your model setup before committing to a final Enviz Space.
A Preview is used for:
Confirming your model uploads successfully
Checking that walls, floors, and major elements are present
Ensuring textures are applied to the correct surfaces
Spotting obvious layout or object placement issues
Generating early AI images or videos for concept exploration
A Preview is not designed for:
Final material or colour decisions
Accurate lighting or atmosphere
Performance testing across devices
Client presentations or sharing
What is an Enviz Space?
An Enviz Space is the full Enviz experience which bakes lighting and reflections into your scene, delivering a more realistic and immersive experience.
Enviz Spaces are created and managed inside the Enviz portal and are designed to be shared and presented with.
Enviz Spaces are built for:
Client presentations and walkthroughs
Collaboration with teams and stakeholders
Viewing on browser, mobile, tablet, and VR
Ongoing use throughout the design and sales process
Generating high value AI images and videos
