Introduction to Licensed D5 Render

D5 Render is an advanced real-time rendering software designed for architects, interior designers, 3D visualization experts, and graphic artists to quickly and easily create realistic images. By combining artificial intelligence (AI), ray tracing, and GPU optimization tools, D5 Render delivers exceptional performance while maintaining sharp image quality.

Unlike traditional rendering software that requires lengthy rendering times, D5 Render allows users to preview results instantly, accelerating workflow and optimizing design processes.

Key Highlights in D5 Render 2.10

1. City Generator

OpenStreetMap (OSM) Integration

Seamlessly analyze and automatically generate terrain, streets, and building models by utilizing open-source data from OpenStreetMap.
Rapidly build urban context, thereby facilitating faster local modeling without the need for manual efforts.
Gain access to detailed terrain data, including roads, buildings, rivers, and more—making it ideal for urban planning projects.

Note:

This feature does not impact final render output, ensuring visual integrity.
Requires an NVIDIA RTX GPU with driver version 537.58 or higher and Super Resolution enabled for optimal performance.

Importing OSM Data into D5 Render

A new “City” option has been introduced in the Terrain Menu on the toolbar, enhancing accessibility.
Conveniently search for specific locations by name or effortlessly select them on the map (with a maximum range of up to 4km x 4km).
Filter and import terrain elements such as buildings, streets, green areas, water bodies, and satellite images with ease.

Managing & Editing City Models

Upon import, the map will seamlessly appear in the preview interface (viewport), with terrain elements automatically grouped in the object list for efficient organization.
Customize building heights with precision:
- Overall Elevation: Simultaneously adjust the height of all buildings for consistent scaling.
- Random Elevation: Set random heights for diverse architectural variation.
- Individual Elevation: Tailor the height of specific buildings for detailed customization.

Importing Shapefile (.shp) Data

Support for importing Shapefile data is now available, enabling the creation of more detailed and accurate urban contexts.
Easily toggle the display of entire groups or individual objects within the list for efficient management.
Simply click on an object within the map, and the system will automatically highlight its corresponding location in the list.

Note:

Shapefile (.shp) is a widely used GIS data format that contains vector data such as lines, points, and areas, which aids in precisely recreating realistic terrains.
The system supports the import of multiple .shp files simultaneously (with a maximum size of 10MB per file).

2. AI Enhancer & AI Style Transfer Improvements

AI Enhancer now offers better text and logo recognition within images, ensuring clearer results.
The “Realistic” effect in AI Style Transfer has been refined to enhance natural image presentation.
Additionally, a newly added the Local Inpainting feature, allowing AI to automatically detect and supplement details like skies, water bodies, and vegetation in rendered images. This enhancement ensures that scenes appear richer, more detailed, and complete, thereby adding depth and realism to every render.

Note:

D5 Render automatically identifies sky regions, while users manually select water bodies and vegetation for optimal results.
Moreover, Motion Blur is now supported for characters and vehicles, which significantly contributes to delivering smoother and more realistic motion effects in your renders.

3. Terrain Tool Enhancements

Introduced customization for terrain range and Z-axis positioning, enabling precise control over terrain size and placement.
Optimized the Erosion Layer, facilitating more realistic simulation of terrain erosion processes.
Supports applying height maps to existing terrains, allowing for more detailed surface modifications.

Note: Changing terrain size may affect previously painted materials and elevations.

4. Scatter Workflow Optimization

Added a Quick Scatter Template to the Scatter toolbar, simplifying object scattering for quicker execution.
Enhanced the Scatter control panel with a new Simplified Mode, making it more user-friendly.
Introduced a Scatter Quality option to reduce jagged edges on scattered surfaces.

5. Animation Controller Improvements

Replaced the old XYZ controller with new horizontal/vertical rotation options, ensuring smoother fly-in and fly-out animations.
Added measurement unit options (mm, cm, m, inch, foot) for model dimensions and positioning.

6. Auto-Save Render Queue Before Cancellation

Automatically saves the render queue when the process is canceled, preventing data loss.
Added an “Auto-close D5 after rendering finishes” option for automated shutdown post-rendering.
Introduced “Save & Render,” enabling automatic file saving before starting the render process.

7. Batch Delete in Scene List

Supports multi-selection using Ctrl or Shift keys, allowing batch deletion of scenes through right-click options.

8. New Language Support & DLSS 4 Integration

To enhance user experience and accessibility, D5 Render 2.10 introduces new French and Japanese language options, allowing a wider range of global users to navigate the software with ease.

Furthermore, this version supports DLSS 4, a revolutionary feature that utilizes AI-powered processing to enhance frame rates and deliver smoother, sharper visuals. This advancement ensures that both static and dynamic visualizations achieve new levels of realism and fluidity.

How to Enable DLSS 4:

Requires an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPU.
Close D5 Render, navigate to the installation folder, and copy the DLSS 4 file into the Win64 directory.
Reopen the software and check if 3x or 4x options are available for activation.

Significant Rendering Enhancements

Real-Time Path Tracing (Alpha)

Activate this feature in Preferences > Rendering to apply it to the viewport, images, and video renders.
If disabled, the system reverts to the GI method from D5 Render 2.9.

Accumulate Mode and New Display Options

Accumulate Mode ensures pixel samples continue until final image quality is achieved.
Advanced customization options for GI Precision, Reflection Depth, and SPP (Samples Per Pixel) are available for optimal results.

Night Sky Effects

Introduced realistic moon, stars, and Milky Way effects for more lifelike night scenes.
Supports day-night cycles and detailed customization of sky elements.

Weather Effect Optimization

Improved rain, snow, and water mist effects for a more authentic atmosphere.

Ray Reconstruction (Beta)

Uses AI to enhance pixel clarity and eliminate noise during real-time rendering.

D5 for Teams – Enhanced Team Collaboration

To enhance efficiency and streamline collaboration, OneDrive and SharePoint were seamlessly integrated, allowing for smoother data storage and effortless sharing across teams and departments. This integration not only improved accessibility but also facilitated real-time collaboration, ultimately boosting overall productivity.

Furthermore, to protect intellectual property and maintain brand integrity, watermark branding was strategically introduced. This measure ensures that all shared content is visibly marked, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized use and reinforcing the organization’s professional identity.

In addition, significant efforts were made to optimize the 3D Dollhouse animation effects. These improvements resulted in more dynamic and visually compelling project presentations, capturing the audience’s attention and enhancing the overall communication of ideas. As a result, projects became not only more engaging but also more effective in conveying complex concepts.
