D5 Render 2.11: Supercharging 3D workflows with smart AI tools

Key highlights & workflow enhancements

1. AI Agent: SmartPlanting & Plant Schedule

Harness the future of landscape design with SmartPlanting, an AI assistant that generates site-specific green layouts based on climate and location inputs — no manual guesswork needed. It’s followed by Plant Schedule, offering detailed exportable plant data (species, size, quantity) and cost calculations via price sheets, saving hours in planning.

2. Material workflow reinvented with AI PBR Snap

Upload any reference image and D5 can now turn it into a physics-based (PBR) texture instantly. Plus, the AI suggests matching assets from the D5 Asset Library, streamlining the search for compatible materials.

3. Parallel Projection: Clean and accurate 2D views

Produce crisp floor plans, sections, and axonometric visuals natively in D5. With ambient occlusion (AO) and outline-enabled styles, there's no need for separate CAD tools anymore.

4. Advanced Brush: Procedure-based scene generation

Unlocked by PCG (procedural content generation), this brush allows selection, density control, and culling of vegetation without manual asset placement constraints.

5. Custom Path Tool: Flexible asset integration

Drag-and-drop pathway assets from online, local, or team libraries and tweak placement instantly in-scene. Ideal for complex hardscapes, streetscapes, or garden designs.

Smarter Rendering: RTPT & Launcher upgrade

• Real-Time Path Tracing (RTPT) delivers interactive previews of complex transparent materials, enhanced reflection sampling, and refined denoising — enabling near-final quality directly in the viewport.
  
  
• The redesigned D5 Launcher minimizes to system tray for uninterrupted workflow during scene loading, keeping tools accessible yet out of the way.

Collaboration features & output upgrades

D5 Render 2.11 elevates teamwork with Cesium integration for geolocated 3D environments and XR Tour for immersive virtual walkthroughs. Plus, export stunning 6K/8K video for high-stakes presentations and client reviews.

Work faster, smarter and seamlessly

D5 2.11 reduces rendering workflow time by up to 30%, while improving visual quality and design flexibility. For D5 Teams users, cross-platform integration and asset collaboration offer real-time control across geographically distributed teams.

D5 Render 2.11 is more than an update — it’s a leap toward a fully AI-integrated, high-fidelity visualization future. From creative ideation to client deliverables, your process is faster, smarter, and more immersive than ever.
