I have used many rendering software before and I have only started using D5 for 3 days. I see a lot of potential in this rendering software, there's a lot of asset ready that I can simply utilize and use. Scatter is especially helpful. I have only used it in a single project but there's a lot of things I see that is very helpful. Also, it has livesync with other software such as Revit, Sketchup and many more that are very helpful.

I don't see any render settings I can tweak as much as other software. I think you need to render in high resolution in order to obtain a better render unlike other softwares where you can retain a specific resolution and still produce great render quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 Render offers an intuitive and user-friendly experience right from the start. While searching for free rendering software compatible with Revit Architecture, I stumbled upon D5 Render through a YouTube tutorial. This discovery significantly enhanced my landscape designs, making them hyper-realistic and professional. When I encountered an issue with the upgraded version, the technical team promptly provided remote support, resolving the problem in just a few minutes. Their efficient service left me highly satisfied. Moreover, the software undergoes regular updates, introducing powerful features like the terrain function, which creates extraordinarily realistic scenery for my landscape projects.

One limitation of the free version is the limited model and material library. However, it is quite satisfying to be able to use the free version to get started and learn how to utilize the software effectively. As I live in a Mediterranean climate, it would be incredibly helpful to have more local plants available in the assets library for landscape design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 render is the quickest rendering software I have been used. Initially I am on Vray & Lumion, they both are great rendering tools but D5 render provides higher quality of rendering and the shortest rendering time. Furthermore, it is user friendly, can easily pick up the skills. Another upsides, it is free to use, and you will definitely purchase the pro version after you discover it's strength from free version. Lastly, D5 render technician are constantly improving the software, they are able to create object animation and mountain in a click Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The disadvantages, i would say it needs a relatively high PC specifications and wish to have more control on the HDRI adjustments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With 9 years of experience in 3D architectural visualization using tools like Lumion and V-Ray, I’ve now fully transitioned to Blender and D5 Render — and it’s been a game-changer.
D5 Render outperforms others with its user-friendly interface, natural materials, realistic glass effects, and accurate lighting. The clarity, detail, and overall render quality are outstanding. It’s also incredibly time- and cost-efficient, making it my go-to for about 75% of my projects.
On top of that, ease of implementation and excellent customer support make D5 the clear winner in every rendering aspect. I truly love working with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While D5 Render is amazing, I believe it could improve in a few areas:
Better support for Blender materials and asset conversion would streamline the workflow even more.
It would be great to see more asset libraries focused on Asian countries, especially traditional Indian architecture.
Assets inspired by Kerala’s architectural style would be a huge help for those of us working on region-specific designs.
These additions would make D5 even more powerful for a wider range of global users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 is one of the best programs I have ever used. It is now much easier to provide short previews to my customers thanks to its ease of use and speed. It has quickly adapted to my workflow thanks to its integration. It is easy to use and user-friendly thanks to its real-time elements. During the design phase, I used it constantly. I actively use it with Sketchup. I think its monthly fee is reasonable compared to other programs. Also, the fact that you can make a monthly membership and cancel it whenever you want will be an advantage for many people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Asset library and fast render times are helpful. I think the asset library needs more every day or daily use materials like tiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate the user-friendly interface and the high-quality output that D5 Render provides. Additionally, I also like the vast library of assets and materials that the software offers, which allows me to create realistic and detailed scenes with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is the long rendering times, and occasional software glitches. In addition the limited number of assets it provides. It would be great if they include pathtracing capabilities for more realistic results indoors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 render engine software is more complex and yet easier to use compared to others that i have tried. The AI and amount of assets for different complex surfaces is very helpful and save a lot of time. D5 also offer various quality rendering. It is easy to apply and implement materials, assets, scenery, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish D5 would add more indoor asset models for kitchen and bathrooms. Other than that it's assets are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with D5 Render. It's a powerful and user-friendly rendering solution that delivers exceptional results. I highly recommend D5 Render to anyone looking to create stunning visuals with ease and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While D5 Render offers a free version, it comes with certain limitations, such as a restricted number of assets, lower image resolution, and access to only some features. This may hinder the experience for free users who want to explore the full potential of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 Render is a total game-changer for my architectural work! The real-time rendering is insanely fast, letting me see changes instantly. It's super user-friendly, so I picked it up quickly. The huge library of assets is a lifesaver when I need to populate scenes fast. Plus, it plays nice with my other 3D software, which is a huge plus. The render quality is top-notch too – I've impressed quite a few clients with the results! Also the software is really easy to install, and have a catalog of the different versions, while also providing customer support via e-mail in a timely manner to help with problems or bugs found, I have used it already and loved it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While D5 is great overall, it's not perfect. Sometimes the materials can look a bit off, especially when I need super detailed textures. The asset library, while big, leans a bit too much towards Asian-style furniture for my taste. Finding specific items can be a pain sometimes. I've also had a few crashes with newer versions, which can be frustrating when I'm on a deadline. It'd be awesome if they added a snapping feature for precise object placement. But honestly, these are minor gripes compared to how much time and effort D5 saves me overall. I use it everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
D5 render was a great software to learn. I was using it to render a Sketchup model and it took me about a day to learn. It was easy to pick up moving around, learning the materials library, and updating materials and models in D5. The motion option was a cool way to make the render look more realistic and I liked the amount of options I had in the materials library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I didn't like about D5 was the default lighting. It was way too bright and it took some researching to figure out how to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
