Tips
1. Why I can't export Channels with Material ID?
For this version, there appear some technical issues which caused disappearance of material ID channels when the Outline mode is turned on.
Therefore, to export material ID channel, please turn off Outline mode.
If outline mode rendering and material ID channels export are needed at the same time, you may need to render twice.
💡This problem will be fixed in a later version.
2. Why is rendering taking longer time?
Something could have gone wrong with your graphics card
You can download our Benchmark tool and run a test to see if your rendering is taking longer time than those generated from PC with similar hardware as yours.
VRAM/RAM aren't sufficient to run D5 Render
D5's stability will be affected when there is little space in RAM and VRAM.
Other possible causes for slowing down of rendering in D5 2.3
/ Too many emissive materials.
Image rendering time will increase by around 10% if your scene is heavy on emissive materials, because it calculates one extra ray for emissive materials to achieve higher precision.
/ Large area of grass material.
If your scene has a large scale of grass materials, rendering with D5 2.3 will be a bit slower to ensure the quality of grass material.
💡This will be fixed in the version released next week, restoring the previous rendering speed.

D5 Converter - 3ds Max: Export groups in 3ds Max into D5
A new feature, Keep Group Hierarchy, is added to D5 Converter - 3ds Max, which means you can group everything in Max and export those groups directly to D5. With this new feature, you can:
Export a door and its frame together as a group, instead of exporting them one by one separately. You can also make an animation of door opening/closing then, with the Sync Pivot feature of D5 Render.
Export various plans for your max models at the same time. You can export groups set for the plans into D5 and see which one is better by hiding/unhiding them. By exporting multiple model groups, you can easily compare the plans to choose the ideal one.
Make batch replacement. This is especially helpful when you need to precisely scatter models into the scene. First place some basic models like cubes to where you need in 3ds Max, and group them. Then export the group into D5 Render and use the button "Replace from Assets" to quickly replace them with interior/exterior models from D5 Asset Library.
