Create A Realistic Exterior Render Using D5 Render And PromeAI

Nuno introduces the video by expressing readiness to create a super realistic exterior using D5 Render. The process begins with gathering inspiration using an AI tool called promeAI, which is the video's sponsor. Nuno demonstrates how to use promeAI by selecting architecture design and applying creative fusion to blend two images based on chosen styles. He generates several images, adjusting style intensity and render mode for precision. The tool also allows for AI image generation with specific prompts, and Nuno provides an example of generating a modern home with winter elements. The video showcases the AI's ability to create quick mockups and emphasizes the potential for more specificity in prompts for tailored results.

Nuno continues by discussing the refinement of the generated image. He uses the out painting feature to extend the canvas and fill in blank spaces, and the erase and replace tool to modify specific areas of the image, such as changing a road to an asphalt road. He emphasizes the AI's ability to generate new options based on user input and manual adjustments. Nuno selects a final image for his project reference, which he plans to recreate in D5 Render. He highlights the high resolution and detail of the AI-generated image, noting some areas may require manual work before presenting to a client. The paragraph concludes with Nuno preparing to demonstrate the D5 Render process in the next steps of the video.

The video script details the process of starting a project in D5 Render by adding materials to a model. Nuno selects materials such as glass, black matte metal, frosted glass, and concrete for various parts of the house. He adjusts properties of the materials for visual noise and scale, and applies them to different areas of the house. Nuno also adds an HDRI to the scene for lighting, activates sun settings, and adjusts the skylight and background. He introduces a new camera, sets the exposure manually, and fine-tunes the camera position to align with a grid for perspective accuracy. The paragraph concludes with the addition of effects like contrast, color temperature, and chromatic aberration to enhance the scene.

Nuno proceeds to add assets to the scene, starting with high-quality assets from Mega scans that blend well with the existing snow material. He fine-tunes the position of the assets and switches to GE and Sky mode for lighting, adjusting the time of day and sunlight intensity. Nuno adds winter trees, snow models to block the horizon, and more trees to the front of the house. He also incorporates snow assets from the D5 render library, placing them along the road and on the roof for variation. Vegetation assets are added to match the reference, and Nuno uses the puff and brush tools to scatter leaves across the terrain. The backdrop plane is selected to finalize the winter landscape.

The final paragraph focuses on adding important details to the building, such as surface imperfections and weathering effects like dirt and water leakage. Nuno discusses using interior paralax in D5 Render to create the illusion of a detailed interior without excessive complexity. He adds paralax by the window and adjusts properties to fit the daytime scenario. Fog is introduced to the scene for an atmospheric effect, and a volume light is added. The paragraph concludes with the final step of rendering the scene, signaling the end of the tutorial.
