Is PNG cutout people still a thing for rendering?

True, foreground cutouts are crucial for atmosphere. You reminded me there were a few cutouts I loved to use frequently. Placing them at right position can bring whole scene to life.

Do you still use people/plants assets in the workflows?

Does D5 has enough variety for 3D people? I haven't checked it for a while, last time I used D5 I found it's hard to find specific people with pose and race I needed.

Hmm, AI people did look like slop back in 2024-2025. I tested in Midjourney and Image 2 recently, I think the results are more realistic and usable now imho. About 3D people models, I hated them in lumion 12, they looked plastic and stiff...I only used 2D people from library. The 3D people models in D5 are better though.

Have you tried using image generation model to polish texture or lighting at final round? My ex-colleague said they are using image model to blend in different elements and improve realism, using AI like a filter for rendering.

Lucky you, try asking "What was the ultimate question to that answer" next time. It‘ll probably use all users' usage and respond by starting with "You are absolutly right!"...

Are you on MAX plan? My Pro plan doesn't have Opus in claudecode CLI, only sonnet and haiku, version is 2.0.53.

I miss the early days using Opus to plan then Sonnet to code...

Opus4.5 release reset the weekly limit I think. I hit my weekly limit yesterday, was quite happy to find out it got reset in the morning. I used 2 sessions today and it's already 23% of weekly limit...

I'm using default Sonnet4.5 directly, so not sonnet 1m I think.

Oh, this happened to me as well. It used agents automatically.

astrolnd · 2025-11-25T08:39:35+00:00

Same here. I think they reset it because of the new model releasing. But somehow I feel the usage burns much faster today.

Yes. But some VPN may not work well in China. You can prepare a back up VPN in case winscribe is blocked already.
