Eevee is such a life saver for low end pc's!

[@SparkleFoxGames]

not all. my pc it crash sometimes

[@nikeshkhatiwada687]

It keeps crashing in my PC while rendering.

[@darkhoodchief]

Not necessarily. You need a high Vram to use Eevee. I owned a low end laptop last year and I prefered to use Cycles over Eevee just because it is easier to edit in Cycles.

As someone with mesophonia, id like to personally thank the narrator for not smacking or breathing into the mic like so many others, thank you

[@radiantbacon1502]

as soon as i start earning money from my animations, i am gonna support blender so much. i love this.

[@lasraza]

To the man narrating these tutorials, I love you so much and thanks for being the best tutor ever ;_;

[@KevinMarchese]

I am completely blown away by all of the capabilities of Blender. This guy presenting is amazing at presenting it. Kudos in every way. No way this is free, and if it is I'll donate to it.

[@scatterbrainart]

As someone who has spent years banging his head against 3ds Max and VRay, this is SUCH a breath of fresh air. Getting renders like this right out of the box (and in real time, no less) just pistol-whips the hell out of a program that my workplace has been spending tens of thousands of dollars a year subscribing to.

[@Imacuser223]

This video helped clear up a few questions I had about Eevee, now -it can evolve into Flareon- j/k... But seriously, my renders are looking better now that the fundamentals have been explained to me. Hard shadows had me scratching my head. Very well demonstrated; thank you.

[@HarrisonKillianAnimation]

Wow, hands down the best tutorial I've ever taken. I've learned more in the last 3 days taking every one of your courses than I did in my entire education. This narrator is amazing, thank you so much for creating such understandable tutorials. If one could elope with a software, this would be it for me. This is the most advanced software to deliver peoples creativity, all for the price of nothing. Thank you!! Although I'm a novice in Blender, I can now learn and take more advanced tutorials and understand the lingo.

[@autonaut279]

I am stunned. This is worth 100 videos on how to make this and that (which never explain much, rendering them copypasta tutorials) You have given us the WHAT of things, which is unbelievably valuable moving forward creatively.

[@fhm2]

Eevee evolved into Blendeon! Nice tutorial, very helpful!

[@ThatLooksNiceCo]

Outstanding work on this. Blender and its documentation/training have come a long way since when I first started using them around 2007.

12:01 this real-time motion blur feature in Blender 2.8 disappeared in Blender 2.9? I am using Blender 2.9 and dragging the timeline doesn't show the blur effect at all. Only way to see how the blur was was to render that frame.

Why is Screen Space Reflections a setting in the scene tab? I thought every material needs to be defined how much it reflect - eg with a glossy shader. Thx in advance!

[@kallehalvarsson5808]

Screen Space Reflections (SSR) is just a method for calculating reflections. Cycles will do this by simulating the entire path of a ray bouncing off a glossy object, but this is too expensive in real time. Instead, with SSR you use the image you already see on the screen and try to calculate what parts of this image would be reflected by a certain object. You still need to use glossy shaders (or principled with low roughness) on objects for reflections to appear.

[@Lensbreak]

@@kallehalvarsson5808 Thanks, saw the answer now, but still helpful thank you!

[@StephenBoyd21]

I really need to get back into Blender. The new features in 2.8 look awesome!

[@user-hk3ej4hk7m]

The distance parameter in the ambient occlusion submenu indicates how big of a sphere all the probes from one pixel (for ssao) will extend to when detecting nearby surfaces. Increasing this parameter has the effect of extending corner shadows, but not only that, for example if two parallel surfaces are a D distance from each other, setting the distance property for ao lower than D will eliminate the effect caused by them occluding each other.

[@julianwildauer]

Thx so much! Eevee is beyond amazing!

"Now that's a lot of bloom!" - Blender meme 2019

[@sidcoolman]

ive liked ive subscribed ive done everything a normal youtube channel would beg for. what more can i do to thank these guys.

[@505Legion]

I hope we'll soon see the emission shaders casting shadows as easily as before. Most of my works are using emission shaders as light sources, since they can be all sizes and shapes.

[@miniminer6789]

this guy explains very well but his tone sounds very sarcastic while spitting true facts

[@christossymeon9201]

Well done, logical and thorough

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

12:27 The shutter value is a fraction of the interframe time, I believe. So the amount of blur is also affected by the render frame rate.

[@vmascreate]

I'm using 2.81 and don't have the "Method" setting in Shadows at time line 16:30. Was this removed in 2.81?

[@arindampaul7884]

Ya, even in the Blender v. 2.91 the methods setting is not present. They have removed it.

[@Visionery1]

1:22, when I add a mesh plane it is entirely grey, I do not see a grid (although the grid is still visible in the rest of the viewport? I'm unable to find the reason.

[@drewwellington2496]

I'm simply astounded there is NO OBJECT MOTION BLUR in EEVEE. For the love of god, PLEASE add this! It's a show stopper for many people wanting to use EEVEE in a production capacity.

[@nv7287]

hmmm It works for me with camera motion, but not object motion... Maybe try a cycles render for the blur separately... for sure they will add it later Good luck :)

[@parkerevans1356]

How can I view the motion blur from the camera view? I turned on motion blur but it only shows it in the rendered image and not on the camera view like in the video.

[@pto2k]

Hope someone could help. I'm not sure why but my shadow does not look like ii in the tutorial ( 1:37 ) at all. My shadow looks disconnected from the box's corner. There is a small gap. I tried to enable the 'Contact Shadows' option in the Light, the gap of the shadow is filled solid, but not soft and gradient. How to get the soft and nice gradient like in the tutorial video? Thanks.

[@soulbone4]

Also Check your source of light. Try different angles of the light. Or use the 3point light rule.

[@liquidcorundum6568]

As of version 2.93 LTS, as well as the latest version at the time of this comment (3.2), motion blur is no longer shown in the 3D Viewport.

[@bauko2405]

12:01 Help I can't get to actually see motion blur in my camera view

[@eshan309]

Ok. I animated an object. Turned on the motion blur in Render Properties. But seeing through the camera didnt show any motion blur on the object. Then i animated the camera itself a little bit. THEN it showed. Why the motion blur is for camera only? Any moving object should show it no? Or im doing something wrong?

[@someshsahu4638]

Excellent video thankyou

[@vasheed]

Why does the mouse invert after typing rr and trying to adjust the camera? It doesn't behave this way otherwise. I found it extremely hard to aim the camera witht the mouse sudden;y behaving like that.

[@canadianbird1185]

This is the reason why I render things in blender... I animate and model in C4d and export as alembics to blender and render them there. Super fast for lookdev and beauty shots. Eevee is far from perfect compared to cycles and redshift... but it certainly gets a job done in time. Granted that as long as your director isn't pixelfcking you.

[@Guilherme5988]

Amazing tutorial!

[@deaosatori216]

Motion Blur isn't showing in my editor, only in a rendered image. Any ideas?

I also have the same issue. According to the Blender 2.9 manual, motion blur is no longer supported in the Viewport and only is shown in rendered images. I wish they'd update the video tutorial to make note of this change.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

Overall informative video. My only complaint is you should have made it easier for the viewer to know when you are transitioning from one major section to the next. For example, when you were done with the DEPTH OF FIELD discussion you quickly went into the SUBSURFACE discussion as if was the same topic. In other words, you need better "verbal paragraphs" to make it a bit less confusing.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

As for blooms, is there any way to have the bloom show up on the alpha channel, allowing for partial transparency, for example if you want to overlay the render into a file with a background and have the bloom extend beyond the object i the resulting image?

[@FoxRedTail]

Very informative, thanks!

Any comments or explanations on Motion Blur on moving objects? I noticed on a helicopter model that this seems to be broken, there was no motion blur on the turning rotors in EVEE while in CYCLES they showed up perfect. Did I miss any setting?

[@til5084]

In blender 2.83, there is no __Method__ option under the _shadow_ section of *_render properties_* in the property editor..

[@MagicSwordFilms]

Is there a way to include screen space reflections in animated objects? I think he said no, but maybe i missed something...

[@QFGEE]

A bit too fast at the end there. How did you get the colour of your plane to go thru the reflection plane. My reflection plane only works if it is above the plane, and the colour of the plane doesn't come thru.

[@pauliusmscichauskas558]

Super helpful thanks! 2.8 is amazing software. Are the camera lens values supposed to reflect real world lenses though? I noticed when you decrease the focal length it zooms in instead of out which seems odd, maybe I did something wrong, and anything below f1.0 would have insanely narrow depth of field, I’ve never heard of a lens below 0.95 in the real world.
