D5 Render combines intuitive workflow with stunning real-time results.

As an architect, I love how easily it connects with SketchUp and Revit, allowing me to see design changes instantly without complicated settings.

The built-in asset library, lighting presets, and weather system make scene building incredibly fast.

Compared to other renderers, D5 provides a beautiful balance between realism and performance — even on mid-range hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While D5 is amazing for speed and visuals, it still requires strong GPU performance for complex scenes.

The vegetation system can get heavy in large-scale urban projects, and custom material editing feels a bit limited compared to V-Ray or Twinmotion.

I also wish the Pro asset library could load faster and that animation controls were more flexible for camera paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been an enthusiastic user of D5 Render since its early stages, and honestly, it’s an incredible piece of software! As a student, my visualizations consistently receive huge compliments from my peers and, most importantly, high scores from my tutors. The quality of the renders I produce is simply unmatched.

My entire group of friends and I used to rely on Enscape and Twinmotion, but we’ve all migrated to D5 because it’s clearly more modern, efficient, and powerful. The interface is highly comfortable and intuitive, and the mega-sized library of objects and materials saves me hours of work. It’s a definite game-changer for the architectural student workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is more of a constructive suggestion than a dislike! I absolutely love the advanced Pro features I see on your social media (like specific unique assets or AI tools) and would love to use them. However, as a student, the full monthly Pro subscription is often too expensive when I only need a single, specific Pro element (like a unique, high-quality tree model) for one short-term project. I wish D5 would offer a micro-purchase option perhaps the ability to buy specific Pro assets or access to one tool for a limited period (e.g.7 days) at a lower price point. I think this would help so many students on a budget get access to what they need, and I'm sure it would be a great way to introduce more users to paid features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After more than 4 years using D5 Render in my architectural practice, I can confidently say it is one of the best tools I’ve worked with. There are 5 things I absolutely love about it:

1.Unmatched rendering speed – it allows me to deliver high-quality results in a fraction of the time.

2.Photorealistic output – the level of realism and detail impresses both me and my clients every single time.

3.Intuitive interface – it’s easy to learn and navigate, even for someone new to visualization.

4.Seamless workflow – integration with design software makes the process smooth and efficient.

5.Constant improvements – frequent updates keep pushing the software forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, like any tool, it has a few areas that could be improved:

1.The asset library, while strong, could be expanded with more region-specific materials and objects.

2.GPU requirements are still quite demanding for ultra-high-quality renders.

3.Scene management with very large projects can sometimes slow down.

4.Lighting presets are powerful, but I’d love to see more customizable templates.

5.The animation tools, although great, could benefit from more advanced motion control options.

Even with these small points, the positives far outweigh the negatives. D5 Render remains my go-to solution for architectural visualization, and I recommend it without hesitation to colleagues and clients alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

D5 Render has completely changed the way I present my architectural projects. The real-time rendering is smooth, and the material library is very rich, which makes it easy to create realistic scenes in just a few minutes. I especially like the lighting tools, both natural and artificial because they allow me to experiment quickly and show different atmospheres of the same design.

The interface is intuitive, and I didn’t need much time to learn it. It connects well with Revit and other design software I use, which saves me a lot of time in workflow. Compared to other rendering tools, D5 feels lightweight but still powerful.

I think the asset library could always expand with even more region-specific plants and furniture, but the updates are frequent and the community is active, so it keeps getting better.

Pros: Fast, realistic renders, easy to learn, great integration with design software.

Cons: Needs more diversity in some assets (plants, furniture).

Overall:

I would recommend D5 to every architect and designer who wants professional results without losing hours in complicated rendering processes. It’s the perfect balance of speed, quality, and usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some assets in the library feel repetitive, and I wish there were more region-specific or culturally diverse models (plants, furniture, people). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am impressed by the realistic effects D5 Render delivers, which play a crucial role in satisfying my clients by bringing projects to life convincingly. The integration of AI in D5 Render contributes significantly to achieving these effects, which I particularly value. Additionally, I enjoy using D5 Render to capture cinematic views, enhancing the visual storytelling aspect of my projects. Furthermore, the initial setup of D5 Render is well managed, providing a smooth start without any hassle. Using D5 Render alongside SketchUp, I find it complements my workflow effectively, and switching from other software like Twinmotion and Lumion to D5 has been a positive move, reinforcing my satisfaction with the rendering quality and features offered by D5 Render.

I find the limited options for flooring and trees in D5 Render challenging. The current selection does not fully meet the diverse needs of my projects, particularly when I work on structures and interior designs. I would appreciate more variety and customization, such as design tiles for flooring and an expanded range of tree options, to better suit my creative and project requirements.

I have been using D5 Render for about two years, finding it an impressive tool for rendering. I discovered it through a YouTube video and was compelled to switch from Lumion due to D5 Render's superior ease of use and the realistic quality of the renders it produces. The extensive asset library offered by D5 Render is particularly appealing, providing more resources than my previous software. I appreciate that setting up D5 Render was a straightforward process, enabling me to transition smoothly into using it. What truly stands out is its ability to render in real-time, which greatly reduces the time I spend on rendering tasks. This efficiency, coupled with an easier learning curve compared to other software, makes D5 Render a user-friendly option with better controls. Additionally, the integration of D5 Render with SketchUp has been smooth, further enhancing my workflow. The feature I find most exciting is Ray Tracing, which significantly enhances the realism of my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how D5 Render provides impressive outputs that impressed even my lecturers. The AI features make rendering easier, especially with creating custom textures and settings. The post-processing capabilities are so advanced that I don't need Photoshop, making my workflow efficient. I appreciate the diverse library assets, particularly how they represent different cultures, which aligns perfectly with my studies on cultural inclusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more free to use resources within D5 Render. As a student, it's quite expensive, and the application for the education edition can take a while to get approved. A more in-depth library, particularly with vegetation, would be beneficial. There aren't any easily accessible trees or common materials like corrugated roof panels without going pro, which makes it challenging for students and my fellow peers to fully utilize the software.

There is very little to dislike about D5, but if I had to point out something, it would be the need for an even larger library of models and materials. Since I often rely on these assets for my projects, having more variety would make the workflow even stronger. Another feature I would love to see in the future is an AI enhancer for interiors, which would further push the boundaries of quality and efficiency. That said, these are minor wishes compared to the overall experience, D5 is, without a doubt, the best renderer for me right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about D5 is how simple and fast it feels. I don’t have to spend hours setting up a scene—just drag in some plants, tweak the lighting, and it already looks good. The real-time rendering is a game changer because I can see changes instantly instead of waiting for long render times. As a landscape architect, I also appreciate the built-in library of vegetation and people, which helps bring designs to life without hunting down external assets. The lighting and atmosphere tools are super intuitive too—it’s easy to make a scene feel warm and alive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside for me is that the plant library isn’t always diverse enough—sometimes I can’t find the exact species or regional plants I need for a project. Also, you really need a powerful computer to run D5 smoothly, which can be tough if you’re not working on a high-end setup. And while animations are possible, they feel a bit limited compared to other rendering tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
