      Yes all the above is possible even with the current Alpha build. You can export your Blender meshes as fbx and your textures and import them into Omniarch. We still lack handy tools and optimizations though for larger scenes, which we will easily be able to make with proper funding.

    Oh! I like the look of this already. This is such a step in the game of arch viz and rendering that I think the community needs to be aware of. As of late, it feels like most render engines are just a battle of who has what features and who is more affordable. And if afforability isn't an issue, then something that is just simple and easy to use without having to fight through the program to get satisfying reesults. So far, my favorite to use are Enscape and D5, but I am excited to see this move forward and make some huge waves in the industry.

Have a questions: What's the difference in SketchUp between 2 layers and 3 layers? Is it a layers within a layer? Like a block inside a block? The idea for a tutorial would be a high style interior of a house Villa with luxurious equipment. From scratch to a super realism. Event if it's simple.

    For me D5 is great for fast interior-exterior animations and stills renders.. BUT , i can get 1000x better results with corona, this example of render in corona to me is from a person that is not a professional archviz artist, so in this particular case, d5 wins for "easyness". But i can achieve super realistic renders in corona, that d5 could not handle. Its a matter of time i guess, if you have a great CPU and time, corona. If you have a great GPU and not so much time, D5. BTW nice way to show D5 tools!

I jest - that's an interesting point about you saying the corona image wasn't professional to begin with because that's how I felt when I saw the original comparison of the first d5 attempts, it's a really tough thing to compare.

    Softwares are just tools, I mean you can draw the Monalisa on MS Paint… of course those tools has their own capabilities and limitations, but it mainly depends on 2 factors. The first is YOU, as an artist, if you got the eye for details, known how the material “should” look like, how light behaves, what details make the render realistic, you will get good results with ANY tool. The second factor is how to get the most out of your tools and use what you have to produce the best possible results.

    How would you go about making a mowed grass look ? . I’ve noticed the scale of D5 automatic grass material is pretty big even at the lowest value . I just want to be able to make a nice mowed lawn that has some color variation so it looks more realistic . The automatic grass blades don’t have a realistic texture to them .

      Hi! Any suggestions on how you can use the 3d grass template on non-rectilinear faces? I noticed that when I apply the grass template for example on a complex shaped face, the applied material is flat. Thanks!

      @nathandevera5543 Unfortunately there's no density controllers or edging so I'd switch to using a scatter preset for grass there!

    You can use "synchronise render color" command for second method and it will generate materials like method 1.

    How would you approach the transition between say for example grass area to a gravel or soil area? Applying the texture would obviously show hard edges of the plane where the textures were applied. I would love to see how you will approach it making it look more natural and seamless.

      @@JigsHidalgoMusic Fantastic question, so what I would do is use my terrain/landacape functionality, the reason being is EACH landscape material (1. grass 2. soil 3. gravel) would be detected as a different scatter material So I'd target grass for normal grass, target soil and scatter maybe leaves or rocks and for sand do some sandy looking rocks/pebbles. The benefit of terrain is you get brushes which can have that soft falloff you're looking for!

      There is also a nice technic that I learnt from luminon is to have 2 planes one above another with something like a 5 cm distance and apply 2 different 3d grass texture

      @sebastienbernard1599 Agreed! Similar to the level 3, similar idea - much easier to blend 2 groups of grasses/meshes instead of one larger landscape material

To be very specific on what type of renderings we do in Bangladesh and countries around me it would be great if you search the net on how our real estate renderings looks. Typical challenges I face are as follows: 1. Making Distant meshes and foliage look good. 2. Framing the building the subject and adding background elements. 3. When adding vegetation to every balcony and overhangs, the file becomes very slow (some layer management tips would really help here.) 4. NIGHT SCENE - how to add interior lights to my building and surrounding 5. Last but not least, can I animate a car to go into a driveway and stop at dropoff?
