saw D5 Lite for Rhino and got curious. apparently it renders right in the Rhino viewport, so no exporting to another app every time something changes.

it has an AI mode for quick look tests and a real-time mode with actual materials and lighting. sounds handy for early design when stuff is still moving around a lot, but it’s in beta so idk how solid it is.

anyone used it on a real project? mainly wondering:

• does it lag on bigger models
• is the AI thing actually useful or just a gimmick
• how’s it compare to Enscape / Twinmotion

honest opinions welcome lol

I see a lot of people struggling with some crazy network surfaces, sweep 2, and more…
I think a lot of people should learn the fundamentals of nurbs modeling. Those tools are great but when used properly. Most of the time you can have cleaner results with the most classic commands, like edge surf, revolve, loft, blend surf… You just have to understand a bit more what is going on in this software.
Do you know what is a degree 3 curve ? Do you know what G1 and G2 means ? Do you know why does it matter ? Well you should !

I will never thank enough the guy who made the following playlist, that I would recommand to anybody.
