For landscape designers and visualizers, the right tools can make all the difference. Let’s take a closer look at how a powerful real-time rendering software can bring your landscape projects to life.

"As landscape designers/architects, we arrange the natural features in/between infrastures and communities, thus adding more liveability and functionalities to the space, and addressing a variety of problems for the people living in this area.

Thus, when modeling our designs, we often integrate real-time rendering to experiment with different plant species, materials, and lighting conditions," said D.R. LANDSCAPE.

The real-time raytracing technology powering D5 Render can accurately present landscape projects in a realistic and immersive way.

Since D5 Render works with SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, 3ds Max, Archicad, Cinema 4D, and Blender, designers can make informed decisions about the placement of elements in their designs.

For some reason, Lumion plants tend to appear with a pale tine and have white edges in the scene, while in D5 it is much better with a natural look. With an optimized GI effect, vegetation assets also show an improved visual effect for shadow occlusion.

The same set of vegetation assets won't work for projects located in different regions or even countries, and you also need to figure out what is specifically needed there.

Luckily, D5 offers more than we could possibly ask for: 3500+ models of shrubs, broadleaf, palm trees, herb, vine, crops, grass, stones, fallen leaves. It also has a dedicated category of landscape assets including landscape ornament lamps and various exterior furniture for you to fill the outdoor space.

D5 Render not only has a library of over 3,500 vegetation assets, but it also provides handy tools for us to speed up our workflow: brush, scatter, path. With these tools, you can easily place multiple assets wherever you like in the scene, fill a certain face with selected models, or curate a curved path on which trees and grass grow.

"For me, realistic plants take a long time to achieve in Lumion, and the rendered image could differ from that of preview. However, in D5, the realism is out-of-the-box. As soon as you place a tree model into the scene, you'll have a good-looking tree that doesn't need further adjustment. In the rendered images, there won't be much difference," said TENGTOU LANDSCAPE.

Compared to other rendering engines, the GPU-accelerated raytracing rendering solution provided by D5 Render ensures that landscape designers and visualizers could see the final outputs within a very short time.
