In brief: Dimension 5 released version 2.0 of its RTX-accelerated D5 renderer.
Features: D5 Render 2.0 introduced a redesigned interface, a weather system, path tools for characters and vehicles, 3D grass materials and better support for large scenes containing many lights. The asset library also gained dynamic elements such as animals, furniture and water.
The developer documented the feature set on the D5 Render website.
Digital Production also covered Andrew Price’s renderer comparison, although D5 Render was not included in that test.
