Thanks! 🙂

[@jbhousesdesigns6263]

This show all render softwares are the same and can make anything realistic if you have the skills. Great VIDEO loved it 👍

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Aymanrenderings]

awesome 🤩😍

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you.

[@Nykr]

Wonderful video

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you. 🙂

[@Curious_Skeptic]

NICE! I wonder if D5 will ever add ground sculping tools? I have the pro version and LOVE IT! One of the best for sure, and easiest to use render engines. Having ground sculpting would bring it into the Twinmotion territory.

[@silvercoloredlens]

Yes, you're absolutely right. Lumion has that feature too. I hope they make it happen soon! 🤞

[@n2t67]

Thank you!!

[@silvercoloredlens]

You're welcome. 🙂

[@Hallesy1]

Great tutorial, thanks.. I think d5 is easier & gives better results than Twinmotion at the moment, especially on interiors. Would you agree?

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you Neil. I haven't tried twinmotion yet, but as far as I can see from the renderings and animation results of D5 is better in my humble opinion. 🙂

[@iiideh4rdyi336]

Wow nice 👍

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you. 🙂

[@tolulopehenry3668]

Very nice. Although I'm abit reluctant in getting it as I just got lumion 12 and I've being using lumion for years now. One thing I need to know. What is the major difference between the pro and the free version?. Thanks

[@silvercoloredlens]

There free version is good enough to do renderings, but you need the pro version to access more assets. 🙂

[@pugilism3259]

Wow!!

[@silvercoloredlens]

🙏👍👌

[@Carolina-mw4po]

Really really beautiful scene! How much time took it to render the final video with your rtx 3070?

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you, Carolina. I can’t exactly remember the exact minutes, but it was not that of a long wait for a 10-second animation. If I have to put a number, I would have to say, less than 15 minutes or so. 🙂

[@Carolina-mw4po]

@@silvercoloredlens really?? amazing software! I'll give it a try!

[@thehahahaha88]

Hi, how much vram do you recommend to make a scene with so many trees like that? Thank you

[@silvercoloredlens]

I'm using the GeForce RTX 3070, which I think has 8GB

[@thehahahaha88]

@@silvercoloredlens thank you you really did a great job

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thank you for your kind words. 🙂

[@patrick-resendiz]

Awesome! D5 is amazing. Can you share specs of your workstation? I’m using a laptop with a 3070 and debating getting a desktop workstation as well to run batch renders from D5.

[@silvercoloredlens]

Yes it is amazing! I am using a laptop as well. The Asus ROG Scar Strix 15 (same rtx 3070)

[@patrick-resendiz]

@@silvercoloredlens Thank you! I don’t think I can justify another workstation until I have more clients and GPU prices normalize. I love your work! I use Chief Architect, Sketchup, Enscape and D5. Trying to get a workflow dialed in and have found Enscape to be excellent for interior panoramas and tours and D5 is unbeatable for exterior. Keep up the great work!

[@silvercoloredlens]

@Patrick Resendiz Thank you too. I absolutely agree with you. We just have to wait until the gpu prices drop.

[@marianar9617]

wonderful! Is this a tutorial? Are you showing the full process?

[@silvercoloredlens]

Thanks Mariana! Yes, this is a tutorial that shows you the entire process of importing 3d models from sketchup into D5 render, applying materials, setting up the scene for the simple animation (assets and camera movement). 🙂

[@UnrealVisualStudio]

hi dear can we use the scattered area larger than 25 km and how?. thanks

[@silvercoloredlens]

Hey, I am not sure if my laptop can handle that huge number of instances, to be honest. And I don't want to risk it. 😅 So far, I was only able to do a 1km diameter range for scatter. But I would suggest a better and efficient way is to make an environment map and apply it to a cylinder to serve as your background. If it is a fly through animation, maybe you can render by phases and splice it together in one as a final result. This way, you are minimizing the risk of error and allows you to amend any minor issues part by part along the way. I hope that helps. 🙂

[@UnrealVisualStudio]

@@silvercoloredlens Thanks dear, I'll try

[@nitkovk]

Can you list the tree you use in scene please.

[@silvercoloredlens]

Sure. 🙂 The trees used in this scene are: Conifer > Metasequoia glyptostroboides Broadleaf > White birch 02 Broadleaf > Sapium sebiferum 02 Broadleaf > Gleditsia sinensis Broadleaf > Acer negundo Hope that helps. Enjoy!

Very cool. But I don't like the bird. Like a wooden one. And I didn't understand why the boat was set up if it was far away somewhere out there and in the fog.

Sir i need D5 software can you send me please

[@silvercoloredlens]

Hi Muhammad. You can get the free version (community version) of D5 render here: bit.ly/3MoiZA3 And when you decide to buy the PRO version, you can use this invitation Code: 27KW1B (Use this code upon checkout to receive bonuses). I hope that helps. 🙂

sir bundle of thanks

PRO version price ?

[@kevinmcnamara8818]

What's your spec's???

[@silvercoloredlens]

For this animation, I used my Asus ROG Scar Strix 15 (GPU rtx 3070) laptop

[@kevinmcnamara8818]

@@silvercoloredlens cheers just wondering you have the 64gb ram in it, really need to update , if so does it make a difference

[@silvercoloredlens]

@kevin mcnamara I only have 32gb of ram. It still works great, considering it doesn't maximize the ram when I'm rendering, but if you want to do some multi-tasking while it's rendering, you can opt for a 64gb of ram.

[@kevinmcnamara8818]

@@silvercoloredlens excellent, cheers for the info, great video also

[@Carolina-mw4po]

How much GPU ram did this scene use? Thankyou for sharing such a beautiful artwork!
