Optimizing D5 Render Workflow for Large-Scale Projects

Workflow

Hello Everyone :sunglasses:,

I’m an architectural designer currently immersed in a complex, large-scale project, and I’m seeking your expertise to optimize my D5 Render workflow. Given the project’s scale and intricate details, efficiency is paramount. I believe this community holds the key to unlocking a streamlined process.

My current workflow involves building detailed models in SketchUp and Revit, then importing them into D5 Render for visualization. However, I’m facing hurdles:

  • Model Import: Compatibility and performance issues arise during the import process.
  • Material Application: Applying materials and textures to vast models is time-consuming.
  • Lighting Setup: Achieving realistic lighting requires meticulous adjustments.
  • Rendering: Large-scale rendering demands significant resources and time.

I’m eager to learn from your experiences. Specifically, I need guidance on:

Model Optimization: How can I prepare my SketchUp/Revit models for optimal D5 Render performance and compatibility? :thinking:
Efficient Material Application: What are the best practices for swift and high-quality material application? :thinking:
Lighting Mastery: What advanced lighting techniques can I employ for realistic results? :thinking:
Render Acceleration: How can I speed up rendering without compromising image quality? :thinking:

I have explored available resources/article How Award-winning Architectural Visualization Studio Uses D5 Render data analytics tutorial but found them insufficient for my specific challenges. Your practical advice, tutorials, or recommended tools would be invaluable.

As a D5 Render newcomer, I’m keen to learn from your insights. Thank you :pray: for your time and expertise.

I look forward to your valuable input.

Hello! Really thank you for your interest.
For the workflow of su and revit, I recommend you to refer to our user manual. There are some detailed explanation.
SketchUp | User Manual (d5render.com)
Revit | User Manual (d5render.com)

Hope these can help! :smiley:

Hi there,

Following this post, is there anything I can do to boost my performance for D5 with large-scale project / lots of assets / high res assets ?

Any tips, adivces, workflows ? (I’ve reviewed these in the post, but still seeking for further advices). Scene management and assets ? Using proxies for high res assets ? where I can find all that information uptodate?

Thanks
CC

Hi @charles.collin.2

First and foremost, GPUs with high VRAM work better and are suggested for large-scale projects, but of course, this is not a solution that is feasible for everyone, since the cost of upgrading is high.

General file optimization is still recommended, im mentioning a few but for sure it’s not limited to these options only:

For now, we’re currently working on optimizing the overall performance of the software so that VRAM Consumption can be improved. This is still a development and will be implemented, maybe in a subsequent release.
