On June 20, 2024, Andy Christoforou and Sharel Liu from KPF teamed up with Jeffery from D5 Render to lead a webinar titled "Shaping the Future: KPF's Innovation Transformation with D5 and AI". Over 2,000 architects, designers, business managers, and D5 users from around the globe had registered to join this event.
Andy Christoforou is the Project Innovation Manager at KPF, focusing on the exploration and integration of emerging technologies into projects. Sharel, from the Design Technology team, collaborates extensively with Andy to identify and implement optimal technological strategies for architectural design.
Attracting 2,000 registrants and over 350 live attendees, the 30-minute session covered the latest trends in computational architectural design and KPF's successful adoption of D5 Render.
Andy and Sharel discussed how D5's cutting-edge functionalities have significantly enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness for architects at KPF. When asked if D5 might become KPF's default rendering tool, Andy responded affirmatively, noting its considerable potential. Experts at KPF highlight the following points that are particularly helpful during the design process:
- AI Atmosphere Match
- AI-generated Texture Maps
- Environmental presets from D5's cloud workspace
- Material library
- Scene Express where D5 experts share their ready scene files
- Procedural scatter tool
- Animation tool with camera movement templates
- Interior Parallax & Fake Interior Planes
“As high-quality visualization becomes a priority for architects, designers, and their clients, tools like D5 Render have become increasingly beneficial, offering several integrated features and AI capabilities.” —— From KPF News (Andy Christoforou and Sharel Liu Discuss Digital Innovation with D5 Render | KPF)
