D5 vegetation is too dark

Hello,
I notice that most of the vegetation in D5 is too dark (compared to enscape for example)

You can see this in the images below. Everything is white and bright but the green of the grass has such a dark tone it almost shows up black, especially when seen from a distance.

Is there any way to setup the brightness of the vegetation?

What I need should look more like this screenshot , bright saturated green:

Something like a global setting to control asset brightness and contrast would be amazing.

Here’s an example of vegetation during dusk. The colors are still visible and distinct.

Hi there sorry for the inconvenience. You might want to try out tweaking the following options:

Let me know if this helps but nevertheless, your suggestions and insights regarding a global setting to control asset settings (such as brightness, contrast, etc.) would make a better addition to future updates. It would also be preferable to put it on this section of forum Ideas & Requests - D5 RENDER FORUM

Thank you so much~

The tree is dark, it depends on many different issues. on your light direction, setting effect, and hdri is also very important.
I think setting the sunset and night scene but the tree is bright, that’s unreasonable.
You try changing to another HDRI, or try to set the Shadow Local Exposure parameter higher, maybe reduce the Contrast a bit to have a little contrast.
I think you should try changing to another HDRI, I think it will make a difference.
I have some night and sunset scenes set, some trees that don’t receive direct light will be darker and that’s understandable.

Dear @clovisbolasco14 and @NgTrung ,

I can assure you that by now I have tried all the settings that D5 has to offer, including:

  • Manual Exposure : to have a decent light for plants using this option, most of the other geometry gets over-exposed

  • Shadow Local Exposure : will result in an image without contrast quality

  • switching to HDRI doesn’t help much, I tried ALL the HDRI maps available and even rotating them, switching on and off custom sun, etc.

  • “some trees that don’t receive direct light will be darker” could be true but rendering is an art not a pure product of logic.

I can assure you that I tested a lot and that I have experience with Enscape and Vray also, and from my experience there’s not enough Environmental Lightning for vegetation.

Therefore @clovisbolasco14 I kindly advise you to suggest to the developers to include an additional setting for assets that could control brightness/contrast that would give results similar to environmental light.

Thank you!

Hi there, I will surely convey this suggestion to our team. Perhaps, if it’s convenient for you, you can also post it in this category : Ideas & Request. Thank you for your continuous support!
