Rhinoceros, also known as simply Rhino, is a 3D modeling tool developed by Robert McNeel and Associates (RMA). It is used by architects and designers from a number of different fields, from ArchViz to product design.
Using Enscape as a Rhino render plugin is a great option for users who want to enhance their designs without disrupting their daily workflows.
It is an ideal tool to use to communicate ideas and concepts to clients, customers, and colleagues with the most instant rendering results and immersive experiences.
Using Enscape to render in Revit allows you to design and visualize in one tool. Easily create 3D renders, video walkthroughs, and test ideas within Revit itself. The real-time sync means there’s no need to import or export files.
You can share your ideas with people via a still image, panorama, video walkthrough, or a standalone file. These options can help others understand your design intent and vision for the project.
The ability to walk through your rendered model gives you a better overview of any clashes that would otherwise have been overlooked. Detecting issues early in the process can save time and construction costs.
Enscape uses real-time ray tracing rendering technology where all the calculations are done on the GPU. This makes it faster at rendering than any of the offline or hybrid solutions. Fast rendering times mean more time for designing, modeling, and texturing projects and less time adjusting the rendering engine settings. Enscape offers ease of use when creating Rhino renders. No special training is required, and information on how to use it to its full potential is available via video tutorials and the Knowledge Base.
There is a direct integration between Rhino and Enscape which means you can keep your tools and use Enscape through the Rhino toolbar. To create a Rhino render, there are two Enscape tabs, Take Screenshot and Batch Rendering. Using the former tab will render out the current Enscape Viewport, while the latter will allow you to Batch Render a set of images. Changes made in Rhino will immediately appear in Enscape. Thanks to simultaneous editing and visualization, project changes are available to evaluate in real time. The Enscape Asset Library can be used to enhance Rhino renders. With over 1,900 assets to choose from, projects can be brought to life. As well as using the native Rhino Material Editor, users can also take advantage of the Enscape Material Editor to add new dimensions to textures and materials.
For the best quality Rhino rendering results, here are some best practices to follow:

Using PBR materials and making use of self-illuminations are just a couple of ways you can make your renders more realistic with Enscape and Rhino. Read this article for more details.
Once Enscape is installed for Rhino, the Enscape toolbar should be visible under its own tab, either floating or docked. If they are not visible, then you will have to enable the toolbars. Read this article for more details.
