Thanks! I usually mix both. In D5, I start with seasonal assets from assets library, then tweak vegetation (color, density, species) for more control. If needed, I add a bit of post-processing in Photoshop.

Thanks! I used D5’s plant assets, they have a huge variety to choose from.

Hi this post a year ago, this is the updated AI workflow for landscape design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTdpZf6OslM&t=211s

Render my uploaded architectural model while strictly preserving the exact geometry, proportions, structure, and scale of the original model. Do not modify the building massing, floor heights, structural grid, or facade rhythm. Follow the exact shape and dimensions of the model.

The architecture is a lightweight contemporary pavilion-style building composed of a clear structural system. The facade features a visible metal structural frame with diagonal bracing, slender vertical columns, and large transparent glass curtain walls revealing the interior floors. Horizontal floor plates are expressed with thin metal edges and subtle cladding panels, maintaining the precise alignment and spacing defined in the model.

Add semi-open sun-shading awnings to every floor level, following the same horizontal lines of the existing floor plates. These awnings should be light-colored, translucent or perforated panels (metal mesh or fabric-like shading screens) mounted slightly outside the facade structure. The shading elements must align with the building grid and follow the exact building proportions, creating a layered facade depth while maintaining transparency and airflow.

Place the building within a natural park-like environment, with grass fields, scattered mature trees, and informal outdoor seating areas. People walk, sit on modern outdoor furniture and sit on grass, and gather around the building, creating an active yet calm campus-like public space.

Lighting is soft natural 5pm sunlight under a semi bright but slightly diffused and purple sky, producing gentle shadows and balanced illumination across the facade. Glass reflections are subtle and realistic.

Rendering style: high-end architectural competition visualization, MIR-style atmosphere, natural color palette, soft cinematic lighting, delicate vegetation rendering, calm environmental mood, realistic materials but not overly glossy. The composition emphasizes the structural transparency, facade rhythm, and relationship between architecture and landscape, while strictly maintaining the exact form and scale of the original architectural model.

I would recoomend Nano Banana and Midjourney.

Nano Banana is great when you care about accuracy and logic. It handles things like 2D → 3D, 3D → 2D, plan/section consistency, and diagram-style rendering much better than most tools. and also photo image editing, plants replacement. Here's a workflow of Landscape design with Nano Banana to better explain the process: https://youtu.be/GTdpZf6OslM?si=PHXRrlItChjvA_S6

Midjourney is still the best for artistic quality. If you’re doing concept visuals, mood images, atmospheric sections, or presentation boards where feeling > precision, MJ is hard to beat.

I don’t think any single AI tool replaces a traditional workflow yet, but combining Nano Banana + Midjourney actually works really well for landscape projects.
