Revit trees renderings changed suddenly in Enscape

Hi all, I posted this on Enscape already, but it seems like this is related to planting family "Render Appearance" setting. For long time in our office, our pine trees were showing perfect in Enscape. But one day everyone experienced change in the trees shape. As far as I know, no one changed the "Render Appearance" settings, nor updated Revit or Enscape. So why would Enscape decides to show this suddenly out of blue. Please see the screenshots below. The thin narrow pines are the correct old ones, and the bushy ones are the wrong (ugly) ones.

Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder.

 

Those look like different species. It also looks like the sky and the lighting has changed. Clouds and shadows are different. Did you miss those?

 

Are we comparing apples to oranges?

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Thanks for that quote, the word "ugly" is related to the renderings not the tree itself or other God's creation. If you like to be philosophical and deep, it's fine, but you also need to have the power of differentiating in meanings and let this forum stay related to technical stuff.  

Now if Mr. sensitive is ok with it, please have a deep breath and let the others answer this problem.

Which asset is it? Looks like Coniferous Tree: 007 Pine ? Here's pine 007-010 and they're coming in decently here:

Also, what export settings are you using in Revit?

although that may not matter all that much since those assets get their render appearance from Enscape...

You're sentence says the trees are ugly, kiddo. Did you even read the rest of my post? Grow up.

Thanks Gary for your response. I was hoping to not use Enscape assets. My trees are all Revit family already, and since the day one of Enscape adoption in our office, it was showing like how the first image shows. In our projects, the size of trees are very important, and there are usually tens of them in each lot, and changing them to Enscape assets, or linking our Revit families to them, will cause changes of all trees sizes that are already placed in our models and would require tons of different modifications 😞

ah, I was thinking that they were Enscape assets that suddenly changed in appearance...

Is the family a true Revit family or is it some other content embedded into a Revit family? Either way, it brings me back to: what are your Revit Export settings on the Enscape Settings dialog? Depending on how the family is mapping (and/or substituting) materials to the object when it renders it could be that someone checked a checkbox (or something similar) without being aware of it. If the family isn't proprietary post it and we could start there to determine it's source and how it generates the image.

Does the fact that they are different species point you to anything that might explain it? It looks like a someone changed the family.

Did someone have Enscape replace all of your Revit families with a native Ensape asset?
