Grass rendering issue — grainy look, not sharp

Hi everyone,
I’m using D5 Render Pro version 2.9.1 with an RTX 4060 GPU. I mostly render 4K architectural visualizations (camera height about 160 cm) — exterior scenes with a house and grass in the foreground and middle ground.

I’m having trouble with grass rendering quality — even at the highest settings, the grass looks grainy and noisy, with a kind of “moire” or aliasing effect. It doesn’t look sharp or realistic like in professional renders I see online.

Here is what I’ve already tried (no improvement so far):
:white_check_mark: Using Scatter tool with ready-made grass models from D5’s own library
:white_check_mark: Switched to different HDRI lighting — same issue
:white_check_mark: Reduced scatter surface area — no change
:white_check_mark: Tried different types of grass (including “recommended by D5”) — same issue
:white_check_mark: Set rendering to highest quality settings
:white_check_mark: Enabled and tuned DOF (Depth of Field) — still grainy
:white_check_mark: Camera at 160 cm height (so not an extreme close-up)
:white_check_mark: Updated GPU drivers to the latest version** — still the same issue

I’m currently rendering at:
4K resolution
RTX 4060 handles it fine — no crashes

My scene looks well lit and detailed — except for this grainy, unsharp grass.

:one: Is there any setting or trick I’m missing to make the grass look more realistic and clean — like in the showcase renders?
:two: Could this be caused by the built-in grass models (Scatter) in D5? Should I try external grass models?
:three: Any recommended scatter settings or post-processing tips for sharper grass in 4K renders?

Any advice would be super appreciated — I’ve tried everything I could think of! :pray:

Hi there @faledeweloper

Please include images (file link) of the final render that you have made. As well as a screenshot of the preview window (how the grass looks like before rendering it).

before rendering:

and after:


If you look closely, you can see the grain on the grass, not individual blades.

Hi @faledeweloper

Is it possible for us to collect your files and test it on our end?

Hello @Clov
Is it necessary to send all indicated files? The zip file size with maximum compression is 5GB so it’s almost impossible to transfer. Maybe thats the part of the problem?
Thanks

Hi @faledeweloper

We suggest placing the zip file either in a Google Drive or WeTransfer link, then sharing it with us. Looking forward to your file. Thank you.
