The New Scatter Tool in D5 2.7 is a Game-changer!

Have you tested the new scatter tool yet? It's been a while since I got so excited about a new feature in a rendering engine. Especially in a real-time engine that usually has some of its capabilities a bit limited.
The old scatter tool was really bad and every time I had to use it, it was a pain! I would watch Blender tutorials see the whole scatter with nodes being so powerful and only wish something like this existed either on Lumion or D5.
But now with the new 2.7 version, we've got this amazing tool to create complex environments in a more procedural way.

New Course!

Whoa, this video is awesome! Stoked to know you’re loving this new feature Oliver❤ The team’s still putting ours together, and let us just say, your tutorial is an absolute lifesaver! Huge thanks! By the way, D5 Scatter is getting even more user-friendly in the upcoming update. Can’t wait to share with you! 😉

I saw this and tried it when 2.7 was released. HUGE game changer.

D5 Render is leading the way! And really stepped their game up with this.

I had fun with this program all day yesterday) I have a subscription and therefore all the possibilities are open! This is a breakthrough that I have been waiting for since about 2006) there are simply no analogues! He also opened his student's student project on 9 hectares and in 15-20 minutes achieved a result that was not even dreamed of in those days

[danieleb]

pure madness! thank you for the explanation! I was confused trying to understand all the parameters

[BilanciaStudios]

D5 Render is a Game changer! we are very excited

i was stunted when i saw the D5 2.7 thriller on their youtube page 🔥. The scatter tool is such a great improvement. Quality video always. I know this is unrelated but the thinkparametric website isn't going through for almost a month now. I know you did a video with one of the tutors. The architect from BIG.

[EvlixManiac]

It's crazy good to be honest, all programs must implement something like this specially revit

[Trimanonymous]

Its awesome!!!!More scatter tutorial about u so much!!

[brunobordini]

The best realtime render engine for architects! Muito bom, Oliver!

[deathblade]

The way they are doign AI is fk amazing. Its helping us just render and not worry about textures etc

[jonathanda]

Belle découverte . Awesome thank’s Oliver !

Isso é fantástico! Por favor, produza mais vídeos!

This looks like a nice cheaper and more user friendly alternative to forest pack

[Hamishmcbeth]

For close up 1 house/garden type views I still find that I need to scatter AND brush the material with some dense grass/shrubs to ensure there is good ground coverage.

[bartbliek]

I saw they have procedural vines as well!? This level of scattering customisation is indeed exactly what you would need use blender for, but working with BIM models in blender is not so easy

It's been 2 years i switched from Enscape to D5 for quick render (what i mean by that, it's when i have don't have the time. You can't always use Corona/V-ray when you're in the rush). I have to say i'm really impressed and i will never go back to Enscape. First thing, for me, D5 is way more stable than Enscape, especially when you works with lights. No crash at all. It's works flawlessly in live mode.
The UI and options available are really "complete" and easy to use. D5 has also a lot of update and bugs fixes regulary. Team/Staff of D5 are very active with the community and ask to people what they want to see in futur update.
There is so much thing i desperately needed in Enscape. Like the "grow ivy" settings, the rounded corner, mutli pass channel, and so on. And right now with this lastest update, a new very powerful scatter tool !

Probably the only drawback i could say, is the library which can be a bit small.

I really hope more people will try it.

This is indeed very requested feature for exterior visualisation. I wrote it even and they said they are working and within 3 month, it is there, very responsive team... Hope this render engine don't acquired by Autodesk or chaos group....

Hi great video ! I tried out the new scatter tool but it takes forever to load? Do u know why ? Maybe cause I don’t know how to use it properly ? Thanks I’m on a laptop 4080

I have been having a problem while rendering that my screen suddenly goes black and I have to restart my PC. I can't find what's causing the problem
