The only issue with eevee is shadow flickering, which I explained how to fix in the 'Blender 4.2 Beta' tutorial. however, reflection flickering commonly occurs in real-time render engines.

The legacy eevee engine has been completely removed in blender 4.2

It's clear that cycles is still better than eevee, eevee next is an improved version of eevee and it takes more time to render and is still in beta and I don't recommend using beta software at all. however this video is just a comparison, and I didn’t rate any of the render engines. the choice should be made by the artist.

16 July and you can use it with beta version available one

What you talking about ,they gonna add ever next which takes it on par with real time renders like unreal engine

Glad I could help

Sure, I plan to upload some of my models (including this one) on my website as soon as possible. when I add them to the website, I’ll post about it on my socials.

yes, you’re right, however, let me add something, both are easy to set up, but Blender is more customizable, for instance, in blender, you can create a volume from scratch using simple shader nodes, making it easy to create elements like clouds and customize other components.

blender uses USD as well.

unreal need to compile shaders for 30 seconds for every change.

I found out the subsurface scattering works nicer in UE which makes the creature skin look more realistic

That's not true there is something called proxy geometry and you can do this using geometry nodes

Versatility is the key to success. that's why I'm learning both of them

There are techniques to implement an LOD system in blender, however, LOD is particularly useful for video games where the player can reach any area of the environment, making optimization essential.

@@danialsoozani Me too

@@williamasperti1974 amazing! good luck my friend :)

Yes, but ray tracing is very effective in scenes with high levels of reflection.

@@piraniarts wait i don't understand From what i understand you didn't use RT in ue5 so i don't think its a fair competition

@@haimalexandernikolchook8280 It's fair, because the 'ray-tracing in eevee isn't path tracing, but a simplified method called horizon scanning (if I am ot mistaken). So, basically it's fake raytracing. In unreal he used Lumen, which is a differentbut also fake system.

@@ajtatosmano2 oh really? I mean ue5 also has rt in lumen (not pt)

@@haimalexandernikolchook8280 ray tracing is a very misleading term. Path tracing is a way to achive 'ray traced lighting' and it's what cycles uses. There is bidirectional path tracing, photon gi, spectral stuff,which are all close to accurate physically and slow to calculate. Now, Lumen, Eevee and other real time engines instead of calculating everything use estimations and various methods to get as close to proper ray-traced solutions without sacrificing performance. I am not an expert and I don't know what Lumen does exactly either.

curious to know this as well

Blender and Unreal have different architectures, so I am comparing the render results of each under the same conditions. in blender, I need to render the scene instead of taking a simple screenshot to separate the background as an alpha channel, add post effects in the compositor, and for various other reasons. unreal, being a game engine, finalizes the render in real-time (post effects, background and so on, it has to, as blender is designed for creating animation and CGI, not for real-time gaming), so a screenshot is often sufficient, while unreal’s sequencer system allows for more control over your render (operates similarly to a screenshot system, you can try!), but for this video, I added effects in blender. ultimately, both eevee next and unreal are real-time engines, but their differing architectures make a comparison necessary.

@@piraniarts then go and do a fucking render in unreal? Adjust the lumen or scalability to get similar rendertime and then compare. Because otherwise what's the point of comparison, who is it for?

This is due to use has unlimited poly count without slowing down your device, and it's lumen rendering system gives realtime workflow whose results are somewhat similar to cycles of blender. But realtime work using cycles isn't quite posible

Work with the tool that best fits your requirements, for example, if you want to create 3D models, animations, or have more control over your scene and renders, blender is the best choice. as I mentioned in the video, unreal is primarily a game engine with numerous tools to create a great video game, while blender is a modeling software that offers extensive options for rendering and scene management. however, if you plan to work with both, it’s best to thoroughly learn one first before moving on to the other.

Thanks

Blender updates coming faster than EEVEE can render anything 🤣🤣

@@omnymisa lol did you find a bug? So far the 4.2-beta eevee is working for me rendering realitme, tinkering with its new Gi settings & other stuff all worked for me on some quick tests.

@@macronomicus I haven't find any bug, by the moment I try to avoid tests versions I may do it later when I make more progress as a User in the main time am enjoying the developer enthusiasm. But the question comes to my mind, do you see any scene where you want to be able to have the current version of EEVEE and that new one coming up?

@@omnymisa Now that its beta release they took out the old EEVEE so its just the one new one in there now, I dont miss the old one at all, the new one is so much faster. Now that its beta release features are locked & they just fix any bugs found, its almost done, beta releases tend to be fairly stable Ive found in the past.

Thanks

Yes, you’re right, eevee next is currently in its alpha stage, when working with it, you need to enhance the final render using compositing.

Thanks for sharing

thanks for the comment, yes, the only way to achieve bloom is through the compositor

Bloom has always been in the compositor as an option inside the "Glare node", It works similarly to the Bloom in Eevee Legacy but it has less customization. I hope they add back the old Eevee bloom as a new node for the compositor in a future update.

because competition is good for the consumers......when one company takes over something. the user gets fucked.....needless to say that blender is also free and allows you the flexibility to write your own code and add features to it as you wish.....it's very flexible. which is why big companies are using it. Keonigsegg for example uses Blender (EEVEE) for the configurator that allows customer to customize their own CC850.

Unreal takes like 5 hrs to load 🔥🔥 I would use unreal if not for that, but unreal is also endlessly complex to learn compared to blender which isnt that big of a deal for me but may be for other people, those load times are just ass though. and thats just loading a blank scene??? not worth it to me

@@Priv_Not-None 5 hrs to load what ?)

@@aleksei7479 thats whats everyone else wants to know as well

I've worked a lot with unreal, and it's very powerful, however, as demonstrated in the video, you can achieve impressive results with eevee next, unlike eevee legacy, it's a significant improvement for a 400MB software, moreover, unreal is primarily a game engine and doesn't handle tasks like rigging, animation, sculpting, and modeling as well, unreal is also quite resource-intensive. I plan to upload a video comparing unreal and blender, which will show how unreal consumes more hardware. offline render engines like arnold, cycles, and keyshot are becoming obsolete as everything moves towards real-time rendering, the improvement in eevee is logical, finally, I'm a big fan of open-source software.

That sounds a bit ominous. I remember having trouble with Blender when I was simply trying to switch from vertices to edge and faces. Thankfully, this was updated a while ago. I hope I have a better time when I try Eevee-Next!

Eevee next is currently in its alpha stage, so many problems may occur, to address your issues, start by updating your GPU drivers and checking your ram usage while using blender, high ram usage can cause blender to freeze. although I don’t have an amd gpu, many users do, and it typically doesn't pose major issues nowadays.

@@piraniarts yep it’s ram usage, suddenly Blender just eats up all my Ram and more and everything locks up. Odd that EEVEE Next is the cause though. The same file on EEVEE is perfectly fine. I know 16 gig of ram is now on the low end but for a render engine that is supposed to be less systems taxing there is something going wrong.

ok ok, chill friend....

You're welcome!

Gaming laptops, especially those with RTX 3050 and above, are good for rendering, but I don't recommend laptops due to heating issues

Hi, I'll be posting the renders of this female character on my ArtStation page in a few days
