This inspiring plant stair, presented with D5 Render, features an aesthetic layout of lush and realistic vegetation. While testing how to match different kinds of plant, D5's accurate real-time viewport comes in handy.

In this project, audience could marvel at the striking interplay of nature and architecture, as reflections of the sky, clouds, and plants dance on the glass facade. As a real-time rendering tool, D5's capability of precisely showing the reflections assists the studio a lot in both design and output.
