In my projects, I use a large number of coniferous plants, including their various varieties. In D5 render, I really miss realistic junipers, especially sprawling shrubs, or creeping shapes. There are not enough weeping forms of coniferous trees, for example, such as the common inversa spruce. I also use thuja of all possible varieties, many of which are not in D5. According to my feelings, I can say that about 200 positions of coniferous plants are missing.
It is also annoying that plants, especially lawn grass, if it is scattered over the surface, it will climb beyond the plane. This spoils the renderings and because of this, you have to manually edit such places. I believe that now models are guided by gizmo when they reach the edge of any plane, and this prevents them from easily doing many actions with a massive spread of models.
Moving away from the topic of plants, there are many other disadvantages in D5.
There are no standard street lighting presets, although this is extremely important, especially for beginners. You can’t imagine how many times I’ve seen renderings with good detail and just disgusting light. By the way, neurocorrection of light, following the example of an image, does not correct this situation, this correction is still very weak. I have heard several times about the reluctance to switch to D5 due to the poor quality of the render, while I was shown exactly exterior renderings with terrible overexposure and the departure of shades to blue. I’ve been studying the basics of photography for a long time and all these white balance or exposure settings are very clear to me, but many people go into D5, get scared of the many light settings and decide just not to adjust anything, leaving the picture in the worst possible way.
A separate setting for the sky in HDRI maps would really help me, so that I can make the sky darker or lighter without affecting the rest of the scene. I can recall recently that I set up the lighting in the scene perfectly, but the sky remained without details, although the HDRI map had a really good sky. I also remembered that downloadable HDRI cards, no matter what quality they are, still turn into pixel porridge and I rummaged through all the settings, thinking that the D5 shows me a simplified image. I downloaded both 4k and 8k formats - this still has no effect on the quality of the HDRI card displayed in the scene. Moreover, I checked the same maps in Corona render and they are displayed correctly there.
They often ask me to show my pet in renderings, most often they are pomeranians, shepherds, or poodles. Now I’m adding these breeds in Photoshop.
Well, to be honest, I don’t like your work of stylized neural networks at all. No matter who I ask, whether it’s interior designers or landscape designers, everyone doesn’t need these watercolor or pencil styles, everyone wants neuroprocessing to add as much realism as possible, and now what you’ve added is all pampering, except improving the rendering towards realism. By the way, thank you very much for the processing of concrete by neural networks, they do it filigree and very artistically.
