✨With AI seamlessly integrated into D5 Render, you can achieve stunning results without needing to switch to another software—one software handles everything, including post-production. In version 2.8, we introduced AI Enhancer, a super convenient, built-in tool that handles post-production with just a few clicks right after rendering. 👀Check out some of the before and after renderings by our talented D5 users using the D5 Render AI Enhancer.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗯 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 🌽🏙️ Ever thought nature could inspire breathtaking architecture? Let me show you how! 👇 I used 𝗞𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗔𝗜 to generate a design inspired by the structure of a corn cob 🌽—and the results were mind-blowing! This building render showcases organic, curved lines, and symmetrical patterns that mimic the cob’s form. It's a perfect blend of nature and innovation 🌍✨. But the journey didn't stop there… I visualized this concept using 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲, which brought this architectural vision to life by transforming raw AI data into a stunning 3D model. Then, with 𝗩𝗲𝗲𝗱, I crafted a cinematic video showcasing every angle of the structure. 🎥💼 Together, these tools create a seamless workflow that merges 𝗔𝗜-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 with real-world design applications. Could AI be the key to the next architectural revolution? I think so! Let me know what inspires your work. 💭👇 #AI #ArchitectureDesign #TechInnovation #AIDesign #3DModeling #CreativeTech #DigitalTransformation #NatureInspired #BuildingTheFuture #ArtificialIntelligence #InnovationInDesign #FutureOfWork

At MMDC we keep exploring such workflows to inspire young Architects and Designers to embrace the potentials of AI 💯

Negotiating Renders with AI While AI can generate good images, how well can it understand subtle parametric changes and render them? Rendering with AI is nothing new; I have done this for quite some time using ControlNet and IPAdapters to save time that would otherwise be required for rendering. This particular facade seems to be the trickiest one so far for AI to understand and render. The facade was scripted in Grasshopper 3D and consists of triangulated pieces, whose top edge moves up and down in a twist, revealing the windows at the top faces of the triangulation. I tried many methods in ComfyUI and tested different tools (Magnific, Mnml, and LookX) but was not satisfied with any of the results. I tested all ControlNets (canny, depth, and sketch) possible, but what finally worked was negotiating with AI. This means I had to reduce the IPAdapter strength, mask a few parts of the images, and accept an in-between render solution that did not render the surrounding landscape precisely but kept the building the same as the original image. There might be other solutions available that I might have missed, and I would love to know them if anyone has encountered a similar problem. I can send the image as well if you want to test it out on this image. #ai #tower #parametric #rhino3d #grasshopper3d #styletransfer #rendering #timesaving #data #spaces #community #design #comfyui #architecture #abstract #imagen #conceptart #vfx #cgi #fresh #aiarchitecture #aiartcommunity #layers #image #consistency #composition #generativeai

Recently, I have seen many posts policing on the best ways to use generative AI. Seriously, AI is trained for us so that we do not have to train ourselves again. So just use it the way you see fit: use it for rendering, use it for creating concepts, use it for designing wacky, crazy-looking buildings. Don’t fall for what someone says about how we should use AI tools. I have said it before, but I think it is important for me to say and remember as well. We already have enough rigidity in our work as architects, so please use AI in the way that feels right to you. Coming to the design of the tower, the base box was twisted to the mid-height of the design. Each face was then converted into panels, and using attractor points, circular extrusions were added onto the panels in a diagrid pattern. Excess circles were culled by finding how close they are to the edge of the tower and if they intersect with the edges of the tower.

Absolutely, leveraging generative AI in architecture offers incredible flexibility and creative freedom. Your point about the rigidity we often face in our work is spot on—AI tools can indeed help us break out of those constraints. The way you utilized attractor points and circular extrusions in your tower design demonstrates the innovative possibilities AI brings to the table. However, it's crucial to remember that while AI can accelerate visualization and streamline certain processes, it is not the final authority on a project. The ultimate design decisions should still be guided by human insight, intuition, and expertise. AI is a powerful tool, but it should complement our work, not dictate it.

A curious and magnificent tool to explore, observe and see at work. A concept of AI in architecture is both daunting and thrilling, and as such is our moral duty to find the best way possible forward with new possibilities and future tendencies in architecture.
