0:12 "I've been doing a lot of thinking lately."

I used to use OptiX for viewport denoising and OID for rendering, but now that Blender 4.1 introduced GPU-based OID, I exclusively use OID. It's actually more performant now, and it looks significantly better. Rendering scenes in 4K with 4096 samples + OID, I actually find it can look TOO clean, ruining photorealism. I find myself opening up photoshop and adding in a small amount of camera noise to make it look like it was captured on a digital camera.

but what if i dont have any armature 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

if you pay attention apple does rendering perfect, fast, but looks more colorful and natural. But Rtx and Ryzen makes it look cloudy

Please could you do a tutorial on simulating clothes to a still pose? Not an animation? I’m struggling with realism with clothes in my renders because I don’t know how to do this, for example the sleeves or shorts falling correctly with the pose.

I’m not that tech savvy, is it an unfair comparison to have the windows have 4x the amount of ram?

In case someone has troubles with the location of the drops, know that the original objects of the drops must be located at x,y,z: 0,0,0, all of them. Otherwise, the drops will float over the skin.

Do you know flags settings for open exr dwaa? my batch script works but it use exr zip by default i think.thx!

DAMNNN this tutorial means a lot for my first ever character project, thank you so much :D u earn a sub from me!

hello im trying to make an outfit with the cloth simulations but the croptop keeps clipping through her bra

Thank you it helped 🙏

this doesn't help if you cant find the middle edge loop!

Отличный тест! Я тоже выбирал между MacBook Pro 16 m1pro 16/512 vs MSI Creator Z17 i7 12700H+Rtx3070TI 32/2TB и выбрал второй.

Using Max for a 3d sounds for me as a joke tbh

Saved my sim! Thanks so much for this.

It's a GPU! A freakin' Intel i7 7700k using the HD630 integrated graphics would smoke any CPU at rendering. An AMD 3400G would smoke the 5900x using the APU, whichever Vega model it is. A 6700XT 12GB would smoke ALL of those except the 3070Ti, and it may even smoke it if it's not a CUDA piece of software. Come on, apples to oranges. it's always cool to see the differences in what CPU vs GPU can do at rendering, but it has nothing to do with "muh apple." The 5900x smoked the M1 Pro CPU, eh? And the 5900x is old, now. And knowing this video, you stuck some DDR4 2133 in that rig lol instead of some DDR4 3600 C16 like anyone else and ya didn't even enable DOCP (or XMP as you'd know it). Same thing for encoding videos. Want to bring a 2GB video down to 100 MB in 20 seconds? Use the GPU. Want to take longer but end up with a smaller file and better quality? Use the CPU.

Thanks for the clip!

But colors look good in mac

thx helped me alot

How do you use both gpu and cpu at the same time, I only see an option for either gpu or cpu

it selects a few vertices in the middle in a square formation. does anyone know what happened?

2024, Blender 4.0.2, nvidia studio driver 551.23, GTX 1070 TI, 32GB, Ryzen 5 5600X. Same settings used in the video: 2560x1440, 400 samples, only gpu, CUDA rendering selected. PartyTug (Cycles) 07.00.92 and (EEVEE) 00.38.13 Racing Cars (Cycles) 06.10.55 Junkshop (Cycles) 05.08.61 The 3070 of the video was using Optix and has 6144 Cuda cores! The 1070 TI has 2432. Have to say that recently the render times improved a lot using Cuda. Yesterday I was looking at some videos of the GTX 1080 TI and Titan X and, in the same Blender demos, the 1080 TI was two times slower than what my gpu can score today.

i used my rtx 3070 laptop for the junk scene and it took 20min, thats like 20 times that of rtx 3070 you used, does it mean my card is inefficient or the 3070ti is 20 times more powerful than the 3070 laptop?

is there an update for this

dmn man.. you rlly made it... i followed wwo of your tutorials and that was enough to fix my problems, the drss of my character was falling off for some reason. now it stays in place but it moves (on its own even tho i have no keyframes) as it wind is blowing the dress, any suggestions, i would rlly appreciate it if you could help me. thank you , thannk you very much i felt like giving up

2:05 i dont have the same tabs, i have collision, particle, softboy& cloth. could someone help me pls?

Hello. Buddy. I have a question. I have shoulder pads on my character. I want them to collide with the arm is moving up and shoulder . Do I do the same thing here. Do I have to add a bone to it. I can't really find a video that helps with this kinda thing.

Thank you. God bless you

what about only GPU but with tileing enabled?

oh my goodness i fliped around the modifiers and it actually worked thank you so much

poor m1 pro lmao

I'm getting hung up on the scale part. I tested this out recently and got fantastic and easy sims at a x5 scale, but I'm doing an animation with multiple characters holding props interacting with an environment. Changing the scale fixes the cloth but breaks everything else, like hair and props, how do we bring the scale back to real world settings with the cloth all ready to go?

Can you do it for M3 Max and Blender 4.0?

You mean scaling the scene, as in making the character rig and all assets bigger? Thats it?

-applied all subdivide modifiers -duplicated and decimated the collider by 0.05 ratio (apply it) -deleted all other effectors besides gravity, and lowered gravity to 0,1 -speed multiplier up -deleted hidden physics objects backups (no clue if affects, probably does)

Hi! Any suggestions on how to prevent the vertices from dancing around? i can see this in your shorts close to the top rim, and something im currently struggling to remove. Ideally we need to have this completely in a settled state. Also another issue i just noticed in my project, if i enable both a skirt and tshirt at the same time, it gets strange results, but if i sim them independently they seem to work as expected, even though there's no contact between them.

=o

Best video so far!

Thanks~! Hmm.. wonder if Damping at max or so and single sided enabled fixes last thing too.. similar to problem had that it fixed hmm.. then again feels different..? I will find out when make pants/shorts guess! Lovely char'gal ya got~! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Are you sure that the Mac thing actually runs on GPU? Because if you do not use CUDA(Nvidia), Optix(Nvidia), HIP(AMD), or OneAPI(Intel) then you use no GPU but CPU. I see no option for anything Mac related in Blender 3.6. Though I have no Mac hardware. Though nor do I have AMD or Intel but their options show and report that I do not have their hardware instead. If the "Device GPU Compute" drop down box is grey then you are not using the GPU. Also. "GPU" does not mean actual RT acceleration. "GPU" means "compute" or "fixed function" and they are not the same. Only the fixed function part is the actual "hardware acceleration" part. Compute is only a glorified CPU on the GPU also known as GPGPU(General Purpose GPU). So. Seems "Optix Prime" supports the RT cores on RTX cards. But I can not find evidence that Blender's Optix actually uses Prime. Other than that Optix is really only a software layer over CUDA. And CUDA does not support hardware RT cores as of 2020(I could not find a newer source). AMD's HIP though shows an "RT (Experimental)" option in my Blender 3.6. I figure that actually means that AMD would use RT cores if that option is on. Neither CUDA nor Optix have such option so I take it that it is either automatic or rather not enabled ever because of licencing issue since Blender is open source but Nvidia is not. They already had such issues with Blender before. So. The RTX part of you card is as good as the GTX of my GTX 1080ti. No RTX card is fully used I am afraid. Except you still got more compute cores. And the compute score I looked up is like ~4x of my 1080ti if I recall. That is still super fast but sill no match for actual RT cores.

thank you for your tutorial. For sweat particles, you shader work very well BUT in my render with some skin parts not lighten I add to change the reflection ray to return to a mix of transparent/glass otherwise drops are black.

PRO machine🗿

The best denoiser in Blender by far is one from TurboTools plugin. That plugin worth every penny. And denoiser is so good with fixing flickering but its slow, especially on higher resolutions because it actually does some heavy math behind in compositor and can be a little bit annoying, still very very clean

AMAZING! THANK YOU! I haven't been able to get any cloth working on characters until this tutorial. I really hope you make more tutorials on clothing and simulations! Would be great to have an in depth video on all the different settings in the stiffness and damping section.

ayeee thxx

They way you say sweaty skin gives me goose bumps!

This is a really good solution!

How do we do it so that it renders one file, then the other one right away automatically?

What kind of cycles viewport performance can i expect for 6950xt ? Is it gonna be similar to my old rx 580 or somewhere in the class of nvidia 3070 series? Going for amd 6950 or 4070
