In this video, I compare D5 Render, Twinmotion, and Lumion in a controlled interior render test. Using the same 3D model, the same Poliigon materials, and the same time constraint. No post-production.

We’re looking at workflow, lighting, path tracing, asset libraries, render speed, and overall usability for architecture practices.
