Why Every Designer Needs Collaborative Rendering - D5 Rendering - AEC-Tech Talk 22

From real-time visualisation to collaborative rendering, the way architects and designers communicate their ideas is evolving fast, and D5 Render is helping lead the charge.

In this episode of aec+tech Tech Talks, we sit down with two leaders from ‪@D5Render‬
to explore how intuitive, AI-powered tools are helping AEC teams render faster, collaborate better, and create with more control and clarity.

Featuring:
🟣 Jeffrey Espinoza – Sales Engineer at D5 Render
🟣 Alan Bachman – Senior Vice President at D5 Render

Whether you're a solo designer or part of a large visualisation team, this session will give you practical insight into how D5's rendering platform supports real-time feedback, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and incredible visual outputs—without breaking your workflow.

You’ll learn how D5 integrates seamlessly with tools like Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp, and how firms like KPF are using D5 to speed up iteration, improve design quality, and save serious time.

We also cover:
• AI-powered texture creation and style transfers
• Worksets and team libraries for consistent outputs
• Live collaboration with comments, presets, and notifications
• Virtual tours and presentation-ready walkthroughs
• Post-processing with AI enhancement and inpainting tools

If you’re looking to modernise your rendering process or just want to see what’s possible when visualisation meets performance and collaboration, this one’s for you.
