Bangkok, Thailand — December 16, 2025
When D5 Render hosted its first-ever Thailand Community Meetup, the impact went far beyond a single event. What took place in Bangkok marked a deeper shift: D5 is no longer just software used by individuals—it’s becoming a platform shaped, shared, and sustained by a community.
Bringing together educators, designers, certified instructors, campus ambassadors, and industry partners, the meetup reflected how D5’s growth in Thailand is driven not only by technology, but by the people who actively participate in its evolution.
A Space Designed for Connection
The event took place at the Jim Thompson Art Center, a creative hub in the heart of Siam known for fostering dialogue and exchange among designers. With panoramic city views and a relaxed outdoor setting, the venue set the tone for an afternoon that was professional, open, and human.
This wasn’t a traditional product showcase. Conversations flowed naturally between presentations, over food and drinks, as attendees shared how they use D5 in studios, classrooms, and personal projects. The atmosphere reflected a simple truth: this was a gathering of peers, not just an audience.
A Community That Feels Ownership
The event opened with warm remarks from the D5 Thailand team, followed by Mr. Thavat, Head of Tech Data—D5’s official distributor in Thailand. Speaking candidly, he emphasized D5’s strength not just as a product, but as a company that listens.
“D5 is a highly competitive product that truly cares about user experience and feedback,” he shared. “Very few tools in the market listen to users the way D5 does.”
He closed with a phrase that echoed throughout the event: “We are family.”
That sense of ownership continued as Phetchy, D5’s Thailand Marketing Representative, shared global milestones—including a growing network of 68+ partners worldwide—alongside expanding reach and community visibility. She emphasized that this progress wouldn’t be possible without the users themselves. Growth, she noted, wasn’t just about numbers, but about shared momentum built together with the community.
An Ecosystem, Not Isolated Tools
Following the community overview, Poomipak Boonthanom, D5 Certified Instructor took the stage to share how D5’s workflow is evolving toward a more connected, end-to-end experience. Rather than focusing on individual tools, the session highlighted a broader direction: supporting designers from early ideation through visualization with fewer handoffs, less friction, and greater continuity.
He shared recent projects and emphasized how AI-assisted features are already reshaping visualization work.
“I highly recommend exploring D5’s AI features. They allow you to adjust atmosphere quickly and manage tasks more efficiently,” he explained.
Other instructors echoed this theme, emphasizing the value of smoother integration, faster startup, and reduced GPU load—especially for students, educators, and early-stage design workflows. These improvements help designers visualize ideas more freely, without being held back by hardware limitations or fragmented tools.
Across the presentations, a consistent message emerged: D5 is evolving into more than a rendering tool—it’s becoming a unified creative environment that supports real-time thinking at every stage of the design process.
Education at the Core, Not the Edge

One of the clearest signals of D5’s long-term commitment came through its educational initiatives. Free EDU licenses, instructor programs, and campus partnerships are not seen as promotions—but as core infrastructure.
Students, instructors, and campus ambassadors spoke openly with D5 team members about real learning needs and collaboration opportunities. New partnerships with universities—including DPU, SWU, and RMUTT—were also announced, giving faculty and students access to licenses through official email domains.
The message was clear: D5 is investing early in the next generation of designers who will shape the future of visualization.
Celebrating the People Who Make It Happen
The event also recognized the dedication of Thailand’s Certified Instructors, who’ve spent the past year leading workshops, sharing knowledge, and supporting the wider community.
As a thank-you, D5 presented personalized gift boxes and free trials of D5 Teams—a tool designed to help teams collaborate on large-scale projects with multi-user coordination and shared scene ownership.
Looking Ahead, Together
As the event transitioned into open networking, conversations continued—casual, one-on-one discussions about projects, classrooms, and feedback. These honest exchanges captured the heart of the meetup more than any keynote could.
The Thailand Community Meetup may have been D5’s first offline event in the country, but it didn’t feel like a beginning—it felt like a turning point. In Thailand, D5 is becoming more than a tool. It’s becoming something people feel part of.
And as the community grows, D5 Thailand is committed to growing alongside it—not only expanding what real-time rendering can do, but broadening who gets to shape what comes next.
