Rendering high-quality architectural visuals often requires post-processing refinement to enhance details, optimize lighting, and correct imperfections. D5 Render AI Enhancer streamlines this process by leveraging AI-driven algorithms to automatically refine lighting, materials, textures, and objects within a scene.
Introduced in D5 Render 2.8, the AI Enhancer is designed to provide real-time, intelligent image enhancements—eliminating the need for third-party post-processing tools. The latest update further expands its capabilities, allowing designers to achieve high-fidelity results with greater flexibility and control.
This article explores how D5 Render’s AI Enhancer works, its key functionalities, and how to maximize its potential in your rendering workflow.
1. What is D5 Render AI Enhancer?
The AI Enhancer is an advanced post-processing tool within D5 Render, designed to improve the realism and detail of rendered images without requiring external editing software.
It enhances:
- Lighting balance – Adjusts brightness, contrast, and highlights for natural illumination.
- Material sharpness – Enhances surface details to improve texture clarity.
- Characters & vehicles – Ensures photorealistic depth and refinement.
- Vegetation – Improves softness, translucency, and color accuracy.
- Higher resolution support – AI Enhancer now processes images up to 6K resolution.
- Improved texture refinement – AI better detects material patterns and colors, preserving realism.
- Better fog and character rendering – Enhances atmospheric effects and figure details for more lifelike results.
The AI Enhancer in D5 Render 2.10 has been further refined to address a key challenge in AI-driven post-processing—the preservation of text, logos, and branding materials when enhancing rendered images. This optimization ensures that AI-powered enhancements do not distort or blur important textual elements, making it a more reliable tool for commercial visualizations, product presentations, and branded architectural renders.
2. How AI Enhancer Works in D5 Render
Step 1: Enabling AI Enhancement Channel Map
Before rendering, activate the AI Enhancement Channel Map.
This feature helps AI recognize different scene elements (materials, lighting zones, objects) to apply targeted adjustments.
Step 2: Accessing the AI Enhancer Tool
- Ensure your rendered image does not exceed 6K resolution, as AI Enhancer currently supports images up to 6K.
- When an image is done rendering, click on AI Enhancer.
Step 3: Selecting an Image for Enhancement
- Select the image from the Render History panel.
- If no specific areas are selected, AI Enhancer will enhance the entire image by default.
3. Selective Region Enhancement & Custom Weights
Unlike generic AI filters, D5 AI Enhancer enables precise control over individual sections of the image, ensuring customized refinements across different materials and objects.
Key Controls:
1️⃣ Enhance Content – Selective Area Processing
- Users can manually define specific regions for enhancement.
- Areas marked in purple indicate active selections.
- Adjust selections using the add or remove buttons in the partition panel.
2️⃣ Enhancement Weight – Custom Intensity Control
- AI Enhancer provides three intensity levels
- Weak – Subtle refinements for minor corrections.
- Normal – Balanced enhancement for general rendering improvements.
- Strong – Maximum processing for high-contrast materials and textures.
- Users can drag the weight slider to adjust intensity for different regions of the image.
3️⃣ Adjust Content – Fine-Tuned Parameter Adjustments
- Users can save partitions with different enhancement weights.
- This ensures accurate refinements across multiple materials in the same image (e.g., high contrast for metal surfaces, softer corrections for fabrics).
4. Exploring AI Enhancement Variations with Seed Values
To customize enhancement results further, users can adjust seed values, which modify how AI generates details.
✔ By default, AI assigns values automatically, but users can input custom values to create unique enhancement effects.
✔ Saved seed values ensure consistent image refinement across multiple renders, improving workflow efficiency.
5. Comparing Before & After Enhancements
Once enhancements are applied, users can:
- Use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out and inspect refinements.
- Drag the comparison line to view before-and-after results in real-time.
- If adjustments are not satisfactory, users can repeat the process with different intensity levels and seed values.
Finalizing Enhancements:
✔ If the enhanced image meets expectations, download the final render.
✔ If further adjustments are required, reapply AI Enhancer using different settings.
6. Tracking Enhancement History in D5 Render
All AI enhancement tasks are stored within the user’s D5 account, allowing designers to:
✔ Access enhancement history for past renders.
✔ Review applied settings, including seed values.
✔ Ensure consistency by reusing previous enhancement parameters.
This feature provides a structured workflow, making it easier to replicate high-quality results across different projects.
7. Why D5 Render AI Enhancer is a Must-Have for Designers
With advanced AI post-processing capabilities, D5 Render AI Enhancer is an essential tool for architects, designers, and visualization professionals who seek:
✔ Seamless integration – Works directly inside D5 Render, eliminating the need for external tools.
✔ Real-time enhancement – Adjustments can be viewed instantly, speeding up workflow.
✔ Precision control – Selective region enhancement ensures custom refinements for different materials.
✔ Scalability & high resolution – Now supports 6K image processing, ideal for high-quality visual presentations.
Unlike traditional manual post-processing, AI Enhancer automates complex refinements, allowing designers to focus on creativity rather than tedious corrections.
