Pros / Cons
- It’s an amazing tool for creating realistic renders and animations of my 3D projects — especially for showing materials, lighting, and atmosphere in architectural designs.
- While D5 Render is a powerful tool, one limitation I’ve noticed as a student is its limited flexibility in custom asset creation. While the built-in library is rich, importing custom models or fine-tuning materials can sometimes be a bit clunky or less intuitive, especially when aiming for very specific design aesthetics.
