In this article, we will introduce some of the new and improved features of D5 Render 2.3, which was released in September 2021. D5 Render 2.3 has added many features and optimizations to enhance the rendering quality, productivity and asset library of the software. Here are some of the highlights:
Rendering
Round Corner: You can create rounded edges with adjustable radius inside D5 without going back to modeling.
Limit color bleeding option: With this option turned on, the materialÃÂÂs color in GI reflection will be calculated as gray, with the same brightness value, to avoid brightly colored materials with too strong a bleeding of color in the GI.
Outline mode: You can render your scene with outlines to create a stylized or sketchy look.
AO (ambient occlusion) mode: You can render your scene with ambient occlusion to enhance the depth and contrast of your scene.
Optimized fog and cloud effect: You can adjust the height, density, thickness and falloff of the fog and cloud effect to create realistic atmospheric effects.
Optimized grass material: You can customize the height, density, trim and templates of the grass material to create realistic grass fields.
Manual focus for DOF effect: You can manually adjust the focus distance and aperture for the depth of field effect to create cinematic shots.
Enhanced denoising algorithm: You can get cleaner and smoother images with less noise and artifacts.
Features
Switch between world and local coordinate systems: You can switch between world and local coordinate systems for easier manipulation of objects.
Sync pivot from modeling software: You can sync the pivot point of your models from your modeling software to D5 for consistent alignment and rotation.
Animation control for dynamic models: You can control the speed, loop and playback of animated models in D5.
Smart placement of models: You can place models on surfaces or paths with smart alignment and orientation.
Optimized vehicle path: You can create realistic vehicle animations with left/right-hand drive, random color, light and speed options.
Support path tools for animal models: You can animate animal models on paths with natural movement and direction.
Support adjusting parameters for multi-selected objects: You can batch edit the parameters of multiple objects at once.
New options to the menu: New Project, Open, Recent: You can easily access these options from the menu bar.
Optimized model replacing feature: You can replace models without losing their materials or properties.
Optimized support of Alembic (.abc) models: You can import animated models from other software using the Alembic format.
Productivity
Support Intel Arc graphics cards and Xe Super Sampling (XeSS): You can enjoy faster rendering performance and better image quality with Intel's new graphics cards and technology.
Optimized scene statistics tool: You can view detailed information about your scene such as polygon count, memory usage, light sources, etc.
Added notifications for lack of space on the disk: You can avoid losing your work due to insufficient disk space.
