About RENDER ENGINES

In this video, I talk about render engines. No, no, no... It's not a comparison or speed tests or anything like that. It's the WISDOM I learned over years, haha :) I want you to understand that the engine doesn't matter. You can master your skills with any engine. The BEST render engine is the one that suits your needs the most. Find it and master it.

My PC laughed at me when I watched this. I think I'll go with eevee

[@pstw4890]

lol me too

[@alexandrianautocruiser8024]

Eevee is a beast, it gives us the chance to create something with actually really really good outcomes without needing to pay hundreds of dollars just to render with Octane or Cycles or whatever.. Eevee is a beast. Check out these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIS8ep-AZ7iDa7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWnEY4d4htFqjqc Just learn the basics of lighting and the technicalities related to Eevee and you will create spectacular stuff.

[@aidenfoxx5828]

If you are willing to try it. There are 2 render engines you can get for free for Blender. Those 2 being: LuxCore and Octane render. Yes. You can get octane for free for blender.

[@AndreyLebrov]

Gentlemen, if you're asking about particular render engine, I think you missed the point of the video. Don't be rude to each other in the first place :) We are a brotherhood, haha :D I used Octane and Vray as two examples to explain the differences that are there in general between all the engines. I could as well name sample 1 - A and sample 2 - B. I didn't dive into details with particular engines and particular features they have. Vray for instance can be unbiased, Octane removes a lot of limits in it's V4 release, Redshift is an awesomeness for big productions, Arnold, Renderman, Cycles, EEVEE, iray, Corona, Mental Ray, C4D Physical, Mantra, Maxwell, etc etc etc. There are a lot of these comparisons which conceptually isn't a clever thing to do. FIND THE MOST CONVENIENT ENGINE FOR YOU (Workflow-wise) AND MASTER IT. I promise, it will be as powerful as the bloody Thor, as long as you're giving it your best treatment. Love you

[@Exodus199]

Hi Men, Can You try Blenders Eevee Render Engine or Cycles?

[@donaldclark5804]

Cycles is the best option between the 2 due to it being a path racing engine sure its slower but u need realism in a scene Eevee is more like unreal engine fast but not physically correct. @@Exodus199

[@bluekiwiconsuming4568]

@@Exodus199 what did he say about PARTICULAR RENDERENGINES?

[@alexanderconferno9467]

Donald Clark eevee uses pbr materials to render, why it is not physically correct in this case?

[@seer2203]

@@alexanderconferno9467 Horrible necro here, but Cycles raytraces light while EEVEE relies on more standard raster techniques. For example, in Cycles you can render a scene where an object is behind a wall but visible in a reflection. EEVEE cannot do this, as it only has screenspace reflections that depend on the reflected object being directly visible to the camera.

Octane has literally revolutionized my rendering in Cinema 4D. I used to render Physical and my time got cut from 20 minutes per frame to 30-40 seconds per frame.

Once again a fantastic video about a subject that is rarely covered in simple terms (usually long explanations of technical info). I personally use Redshift which I knew was a biased renderer but didn't really understand what that meant. Now I do so thanks!

Every one of your videos are really an amazing amount of information for users at all the levels. And also, a lot of common sense. There still people in the industry who don't understand the importance of the physics at the moment of setting lights in a scene. And some of these colleagues think that the render engine will magically in one click make everything look realistic. Kudos for these video sir.

It's rare to see impartiality shown with such confidence here on YT (or anywhere else). Less yet on such a polemic topic. You give us the impression of liking Octane Better from the beginning of your channel but still you were able to compare engines with a plain-simple-face impartiality.

[@kyozon8925]

Another great video as always. I am still stuck with which application i should develop my expertise on [C4D or MAX/MAYA] and also stuck with which engine i should use [Arnold, V-Ray, ProRender]. But this video clarifies a lot, specially the ending. It really does not matter, all of the engines purposes are Rendering the final art. So i am going to try seeing what works best for me. Thanks!

[@RD-kw5op]

You should be a teacher! Best explanation video I've seen so far and... also always checking Vray, Redshift, Octane, Arnold and Corona, even Iray as GPU engine at some point was a potencial hehe. Nice to see that someone can explain all stuff behind composing like you. The main course is the time! The rest is to test it yourself to see that the truth came from more expirienced guys like yourself.

[@jantoniolmartinez728]

I love your intro screen my friend specifically the sound. Could you please make a video about sound? I think it's an important part and nobody talks about it.

[@AWViz]

Just came upon your channel and I genuinely enjoyed your outlook on this topic. I am an archviz illustrator and one thing that caught my attention were the times that you talked about vray exposing all the backend settings and octane doing it for you...I use a variety of software and it has always made me wonder why vray for sketchup is built to be much more accessible with everything from presets to just a cleaner more user friendly interface (kind of like how you are explaining octane), but vray for max still seems like they want it to be solely for hardcore veterans. I love vray for max, but being in the archviz world, I’ve found myself saving so much time just staying in sketchup, even for very large complex scenes. Taking it a bit further, you have other software like lumion that are really disrupting things and making archviz that much more accessible and faster to use leaving much more time for actual design and post production. Just made me think of this watching your video...keep up the great work my friend! +1subscriber!

[@locinolacolino1302]

Incredibly based, nice work.

[@babysteps1]

I love Octane but I still do jam the physical renderer on occasion, which is exactly your point - the engine doesn't matter. That was a nice touch at the end - Renders done in Physical...

[@Mac_Daffy]

Out of core geometry is coming with Octane 4 this year. Experimental build is already out, rendering ludicrous complex scenes on GPUs. 👍

[@jeanderbar]

Yep. In one early Octane 4 test, OOC geometry scaled to 8x Volta GPUs + 150GB of scene geometry all in CPU RAM. Find out more: www.reddit.com/r/RenderToken/comments/85sa6t/otoy_just_announced_octane_4_heavy_with_ai/

[@kovago]

good video. i think you should check out redshift, because it is not limited to your vram. it can swap from ram just as vray or arnold does, but still as fast as octane. keep up the good work and thanks for your videos.

[@harlangraves331]

The whole time I was watching this video, I was also looking at these glowing lights in these bottles in the background. And I was thinking where do you find these to buy? Then I opened the asset store ...and was like oh..... nice. Great work couldn't even tell the difference.

[@SnakebiteCortez]

You rock, brother. I'm about to dive into environments for a movie. And we're about to invest in a new rig and we've been talking render engines. You bring up important things to consider that I wasn't considering. Although I've worked in the business for 26 years I've only been working with 3D, Cinema 4D for 8 months. So your videos have been very very helpful. Gratitude. I'm hoping the rig we get will compensate for slower render times, we will be doing big city shots...pretty details concepts we're building...mixing kit bashing with original pieces on the sci fi flavor. So your point concerns me very much...however the convenience factor is big for me..I can do technical, but generally I'm a cave man who just wants to paint on the wall. hmmmm. so glad I accidentally came across this one. Thanks again.

Very helpful video, a lot of information i haven't found before, especially biased and unbiased! Btw i find those three magic glasses on the right very distracting, they are fancy, but i can't listen to you anymore:)

[@MauroSanna]

Great video Andrey, I loved it! Though I would like to point out few things: Octane can actually overcome the GPU memory limit, texture wise (textures are in fact the ones that are more memory hungry, not geometry), by using system memory when that happens (and loosing some of its speed of course) by switching "Out-of-core" on. So you don't really have that limitation, at least with textures. In the VFX industry, V-Ray is not always the first choice (for technical reasons that I am not going to explain here, for it would be too long of a comment). RenderMan is still the number one, followed by Arnold (which is faster than V-Ray and it's also physically correct). It all depends on what work field we are considering of course: like, for example, V-Ray is the "de facto" king of ArchViz (coupled with 3DS Max). C4D (native renderer or Octane) is the most used application in Motion Graphics, most of the times along with After Effects (although I consider Fusion to be way more powerful and fast). At the end of the day though, as you well pointed out, the user is the one who makes the difference.

[@AndreyLebrov]

Thanks for the addition mate. I didn’t want to dive deep into details. Octane for instance removed almost all limitations in V4, vray can be unbiased and so on. Technology is evolving so fast that yeah... artists are the ones who matters the most 👊🏻

[@MauroSanna]

Hi andrey, Do you know boss i really love you, you made my life and give a reason to go on CG & VFX

[@pixelasm]

I would also factor in popularity of that engine in a particular field (VFX, architecture, motion graphics etc) and software (#Max, #Maya, #C4D), like #Octane seems more popular in C4D motiongraphics whilst VRAY in 3ds Max Architecture also because the dev for the C4D Octane plugin is super fast and responsive.
