What D5 Render is
D5 Render is a real-time renderer installed on your computer. You bring the model in through the LiveSync plugin, set up lights, materials and assets in the scene and take the image. It runs on Windows only, with a ray-tracing graphics card.
RendScene vs D5 Render
D5 Render details taken from its official website. See what each one asks of you before the image is ready.
| RendScene | D5 Render | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI rendering in the browser | Real-time renderer (ray tracing on the graphics card) |
| Installation | None: opens in the browser | Install the program and the LiveSync plugin for your modeler |
| Computer | Any, even a basic laptop; it doesn’t use your graphics card | Ray-tracing GPU: at least GTX 1060 6 GB, RX 6400 or Arc A3; RTX 3060 and 32 GB RAM recommended |
| Operating system | Windows, Mac, Linux and phone (in the browser) | Windows 10 (v1809) or later only; no Mac version |
| How you get the image | Send a screenshot, photo, floor plan or 3D model and pick a style; the AI handles light and materials | You build the scene: lights, materials, camera and assets |
| Time to the first image | A few minutes, no scene setup | Instant once the scene is ready; setting up the scene takes the most time |
| Edits and video | Describe or point at what to change and the AI redoes it; short videos from the render that you can join in sequence | High: every material and light, animation, video up to 4K (8K on Teams) and tours |
| Price | 5 free renders; plans from US$ 29/month (100 credits, about US$ 0.29 per render) | Free version for non-commercial use only; for professional work, a paid plan and a PC with a ray-tracing GPU |

What changes in your day-to-day
With D5 Render
Install the program and plugin, have a Windows PC with a ray-tracing GPU (at least GTX 1060 6 GB, RTX 3060 and 32 GB RAM recommended), learn to set up lights, materials and assets, and prepare the scene for every project before you get an image.
With RendScene
Send a screenshot and get realistic images in a few minutes, ready for the client. Nothing to install, no graphics card to buy, no lighting and material setup to learn, on any computer and even on your phone. And it starts free, no credit card.
Try it without giving anything up
If you already have D5 Render, use RendScene for everyday images: studies, style options for the client and when you are away from the render PC. Send a screenshot of the same model and compare.
