What’s new in D5 Render 3.1

The new Variations presentation feature looks very useful, especially for comparing facade and design options.

It would be even more valuable if variations could also be rendered automatically. Ideally, we could select one or several camera views, apply the same render preset, and add every variation to the render queue without manually duplicating scenes.

At the moment, adding a new variation creates extra work because it becomes visible in previously configured scenes. I then have to open each scene again and hide it manually where necessary. After that, separate scenes still need to be created for every design option, even when the camera position and render settings are identical.

A better workflow would be to save an independent render state for each variation and generate all combinations automatically: for example, 6 design variants from 5 camera views, resulting in 30 renders added directly to the queue.

This would be especially useful for overnight rendering and real architectural projects where all options need to remain organized and available for later rendering.

It could be added to the Presentation tool or implemented as a similar Variations workflow for Scenes. The ability to duplicate entire scene groups would also be very helpful.

HI
I place cars on the parkings with custom path, it’s fast and we can slightly randomize placement and rotation. But yes, changing color is not available

The d5 car mass placement is not working atm how i wish the car placement would work. I wish to rotate one car independent of each other.

Custom Path does not allow you to place cars randomly. For example, if you have 10 parking spaces and you only want to place 4 cars randomly among those 10 spaces, Custom Path cannot do that. It also does not allow you to adjust the colors of the individual cars.

The best option is to let you explode the custum path. So can adjust all cars/items. Or even delete one specifically

I Still don’t understand why… you can randomly adjust size rotation and placement
