[@TheAndrejP]

Eevee is also great if you're using Blender as a modeling tool for game assets for example, it's close to what you'll get from the game engine anyway since any real time engine will be using similar tricks to fake global illumination, transparency, shadows etc.

[@OllAxe]

My thoughts exactly! Eevee uses rasterization to cheat realism, just like games do, while Cycles uses path-tracing to simulate realism

[@denierdev9723]

@@OllAxe certain games, not all games in general

[@OllAxe]

@@denierdev9723 I didn't say "all games". It was a generalization. Nearly all modern 3D games use rasterization because it's very fast and it's what modern GPUs are optimized for. Even RTX-games use rasterization as part of their rendering pipeline, because path-tracing a scene in real-time on consumer hardware with reasonable speed and quality is still unrealistic (even on the most high-end RTX cards), though combining noisy ray-traced lighting data with rasterized rendering methods and a good denoiser can get very close

[@denierdev9723]

@@OllAxe Could you give examples of such games?

[@OllAxe]

@@denierdev9723 I can, but I don't really see the point, since rasterization is the foundation of real-time 3D computer graphics. Instead, check out the first 20-30 minutes or so of nvidias RTX launch event, which has some great info on rasterization vs ray-tracing and how RTX implements a hybrid of the two. I also know there's a presentation from DICE about the rendering pipeline of Battlefield V and their implementation of RTX. There's an example! Some more if you need them are Minecraft, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Portal 2, any game made in a commercial game engine such as Unity or Unreal, I could go on for a ridiculous amount of time. Even Teardown uses rasterization as part of its rendering pipeline, a game with its very own non-RTX ray-tracing implementation. Either way, there probably are some very specific games that don't use rasterization for one reason or another (simple ray-tracing demos or games that implement non-euclidian geometry for example) but they're the exception and that's my point. Not utilizing rasterization in your real-time rendering pipeline is leaving preformance on the table, therefore all modern commercial games do, and RTX does too, as Jensen Huang states during the RTX launch event. And as someone who's studying advanced computer graphics and shader programming right now, I can with confidence that he's completely right.

[@middle-earthexplored3923]

with some setup, such as baking indirect light, EEVEE can look really good, especially for interior renders

[@digital0785]

Yea if you know the limitations you can definitely work around it very easy.. i mean heck in their example of the light saber you could easily switch the lights for illuminating out of the hilt and such and make it look damn close. That's one of the biggest issues trying to go back and forth for some reason the lighting dont transfer over brightness wise but these are all easy fixes. As far as volumetric i feel like thats kinda a bold face lie i did a fly through with eevee with motion blur depth of field and moving noise mapped volumetrics. And it took 9 seconds per frame. If cycles could do that eevee wouldnt exist.

[@csmemarketing]

You're quite correct. Most of the time is in the lighting setup for EEVEE. When that's done, I find the renders come out good. I find EEVEE is very good for product design.

[@YegorSmirnov]

Guys, you had Cuda not working:) Gpu is greyed out. Cycles renders this kind of scene lightning fast, actually.

[@SalvatoSC]

Up to top you go

[@FlippedNormals]

It's because we have issues recording videos at the same time as using Cycles with the GPU. It's a lot faster with the GPU for sure!

[@bakedbeings]

FlippedNormals The Optix denoiser (via a free blender plugin) can do a pretty strong job on the noise, something which was maybe hammered on a bit in the video. I feel like young artists are going to have a pretty exaggerated impression of Evee’s advantages vs cycles’ offering of gpu accelerated offline renderer easily paired with ai denoiser.

[@HAWXLEADER]

@@bakedbeings Optix is really bad compared to the Intel Denoiser node in blender 2.81 Intel's is way faster and cleaner looking with sharper textures. You've gotta try it! (Don't forget to enable Denoising data in the compositing settings and plug it into the node)

[@krysidian]

I love using eevee when doing things like animation and previews since it just so fast! Eevee is also perfect for things like NPR because of the functionality of the Shader to RGB node. When I want to make a single scene, I mostly use cycles for realism and refined details. I agree, it always depends. Both render engines really compliment each other.

[@ArthurDalvig]

I am not sure if I understood you guys right, but doing lookdev approximation in Eevee and switching over to another renderer later on is by no means the correct approach. You can perhaps do it for personal hobby projects if you don't care about realism, but once you enter a production environment or have to match realism, then you wouldn't want to switch between render engines. The differences in rasterization and path tracing are enormous and you would have to redo the majority of your shaders and ligthing from scratch. What initially seemed like a shortcut, would just come back and bite you in the butt in the other end. The lookdev should ALWAYS be done in the renderer you finalize your shot in. It doesn't matter if its Eevee or Cycles, but switching between them won't save you any time. Atleast not if you work towards a realistic look.

[@GrianTalamonti]

If you try the latest experimental build 2.81 volumes in Eevee are almost realtime. For me was a game changer. I still use cycles for a realistic render, I totally agree with everything said in the video.

Apart from anything else, you need a rasterising renderer in a general 3D application so you're not fighting a physically-based path-tracer and firing millions of rays around to achieve non-photorealistic effects. The EEVEE 'Shader to RGB' node is really important, to do things like half-toning, which would take all kinds of weird baking and multiple passes to do in Cycles. Don't forget NPR! Creativity doesn't stop at trying to simulate photography.

Early tests seem fine, but haven't comped it together yet.

I think (I'm still learning), that Eevee is also a good renderer if you're trying to go for a cartoony or plastic-y look.

If you're comfortable with compositing, using both engines for their strengths is pretty straightforward. I did this for a small project in 2.79 using Cycles and the default renderer.

render out cycles render image, then mimic the cycles render using eevee. I actually saved a VFX scene doing so. Also, makesure to add a slight bokeh blur for the final render to really blend the scene together. I thought I was doomed when cycles would take around a week to render just one scene, eevee is an absolute life saver and completely capable of being on par with cycles with a bit of elbow grease and trickery.

something like E-cycles is significantly faster than normal Cycles that Blender comes with, so as someone else mentioned in the replies, saving the money on more expensive graphic cards and other pricey renderers, you can speed up the already decent rendering speed in Cycles by investing in solutions like these. And the creator of E-Cycles has said that some of his patches will be submitted to the main Blender team in 2020 to integrate into main Blender branch (or trunk in this case) which shall essentially make Cycles faster for everyone! More so, when RTX cards become a lot cheaper in the future, users can shift from CUDA to Optix and get even faster results, it's already being demonstrated.

@@AIRpursuit that's good you checked that out, not everyone does, I've seen a couple of videos including Andrews, there are definitely others finding ways, that's just a general tip for anyone coming to blender following videos on 2.80 re: my reference to assumption, apologies if it came across as I was singling you out. I can't remember the others I watched who addressed this issue. 🤔 I'll post it if see it again.

[@Worstplayer]

Eevee will get a new shadowing technique that eliminates most light leaks in 2.81.

[@GaryParris]

@@Worstplayer i missed that small but important news :O)

[@klohithkumar9378]

Cycles is fast for bcz u have expensive hardware fkr bcz normally it take time to render preview and u say that it's also fast as eevee that's not fare

[@Nightmare-iq9tb]

i wanna create that light saber but i can't buy the tutorial :(

[@FlippedNormals]

The light saber course is free on YT :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKLZZHV6pLedjsU

[@Nightmare-iq9tb]

@@FlippedNormals yeah , but this one without the laser and the design is sick as hell can't compare this masterpiece to that So sorry i thought it would be very easy and simple , but i actually do it it's very nice and i learned a lesson . don"t judge a tutorial bu it's thumbnail . lmao

[@eriuz]

add one more vs luxcore 2.2

[@GaryParris]

yes im waiting for this to be fully stable and linux, i love the quality difference to cycles, but i love all of the renderers for different reasons.

[@RuthwikRao]

@@GaryParris you mean Luxcore is better than Cycles quality wise?

[@GaryParris]

@@RuthwikRao in some aspects definitely, especially with caustics. but i'll happily use cycles for most stuff and EEVEE for previs or low poly building. its all got their respective places.

[@HAWXLEADER]

@@RuthwikRao lighting is way more realistic

[@HELIX1]

Wtf that are 2 Guys o.O xD

[@henriklarsen8193]

Why is EEVEE near real time in the viewport but takes 5 seconds to render??

[@mussadiqzainal4142]

It's Comparing To A Viper And Jet Engine Car :D

[@ZachA-T]

My laptop is making it pretty clear to me that it likes Eevee more...

[@naoremedisonsingh6035]

the hair shader in blender are not working well in eevee

[@SaschaUncia]

♥ Blender

[@ahmedjameel9295]

Hi, guys, awesome video thank you for your tutorials please can you do video for HAIR plz thank you again :)

[@davidmendoza4521]

Just work with eevee and render with cycles

[@toluwah]

cycles isn't fast. your PC is

[@satyanarayandebbarma2089]

Hi, Cycle rendering came out with lots of noise in compare to eeveeeee may i no why!!!

[@luna010]

increase sample count(will dramatically increase render times) and/or go to compositor and add a denoising node. for even better results turn on denoising data and plug the extra thing in.

[@vorklan]

Evee = Xbox One Cycles = PS4

[@soupxasy4323]

cycles kill my laptop

[@ilhamakbar5689]

U shouldn't render on laptop

[@YourGoodLuck..]

cycles doesn't have any challange

[@delusional9646]

I've been clickbaited by the title XD

[@jorge69696]

At the moment, eevee is terrible for transparency. If the focus of your scene is a glass window, forget about eevee.

[@jakobleitner1966]

jorge69696 will be fixed in 2.81 i think.

[@pstuddy]

realistic looking glass is achievable in eevee if you're good with blender.

[@smolcaleb]

my computer cant handle cycles so i always use eevee

[@DenerWitt]

cycles = better but takes forever eevee = -pokemon- less better; doesnt take forever

[@fkstudios469]

Bullshiet. With that lightsaber it was not better becouse you didnt set the settings
