How to make EEVEE look better in 10 MINUTES!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Do you have any more tips on how to make EEVEE look REALLY good?! Share 'm here!

[@DaddyMouse]

I personally also use a bit of noise texture on the volumetrics to make it less uniform, and even simulate smoke when needed.

[@Leukick]

At 4:00 in it looks like "contact shadows" is turned off? Another crucial tip for EEVEE is to turn on the contact shadows option on all of your lights. If you have like 20 individual lights in your scene, that option has to be toggled on for each light.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Great tip! I forgot that indeed. Thanks! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@DemShion]

@@Leukick Select all the lights in your collections, then go to the shadow settings, hold ALT and enable it on there to have them all toggle the option at the same time, contact shadows sometimes give a not so great effect tho, it often times murders soft shadows and other kinds of indirect light, so enabling it on all objects might not be ideal.

[@Leukick]

​@@DemShion Thank you :) Yeah I never thought about the ALT option

[@TheDucky3D]

Awesome

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks a lot man!

[@Just-A-Clown111]

HONESTLY, i already knew all this stuff, but i wanted to see your render

[@KaizenTutorials]

Hey, that’s fine by me ;-) hope you liked it!

[@fadhil4008]

I knew all this stuff but the way he implemented them is better than me

[@attentivenettle7643]

Same

[@matthodgesmusic]

Can't argue with the excellent results. On volumetrics, I'd add compare the results for different tile sizes. Sometimes I get the effect I'm after with a larger tile size. Also depending on the scale of the scene you might want to adjust the start and end values. Adding some noise texture can also work nicely in some cases. I'm always looking at how to get the most out of Eevee, so this was very useful, especially the compositing.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@ronioclarenzo6137]

One of the best tutorials on Eevee rendering I've ever seen. All functionalities are concisely yet effectively explained and also brought together for a completely synchronized application! Excellent!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Wow, thanks for the kind words!

[@nabeedanish]

Using Evee and Composting can save much time in rendering in Blender nice short videos with a bunch of lessons thanks Kaizen

[@KaizenTutorials]

No problem!

[@mr.onelife5195]

Starts off showing the 1st render looking really good. Making me think what is wrong with that. Then showed the second one and was blown away.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Haha you love to see it! I often feel like my plain renders are fine. But I always still tweak them with settings and compositing and it always makes it a lot better! Definitely worth it :-)

[@steprockmedia]

I left a project rendering overnight in Cycles and it got frame 44 out of 6,000. It looks great, but it's not practical. This Eevee setup offers me a usable solution - thanks!!!!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Nice! Glad this helps. Yeah cycles can be a pain for long projects for sure!

[@lazzy5397]

Great video. Specially compositing stuff. I have a request. Any way to make exteriors like a nature scene look realistic in eevee? I struggled a lot with scenes like those a during project.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks! Yeah well the gist of it is that all these things apply to almost any scene in EEVEE. So making sure you have a good HDRI, irradiance volume and reflection cubemap where it matters (water e.g.), additional point lights and a sun light (since HDRI’s don’t cast shadows in EEVEE) lined up with the sun from the HDRI. Then some compositing and it should get you a long way! 🙏🏻

[@KaizenTutorials]

Ofcourse materials, subsurface scattering and translucency (for plants e.g.) is also very important to creating realistic looking scenes for nature in EEVEE!

[@BlenderFan]

Thansk for showing this very helpful tutorial. Great job.

I usually use Cycles..so I had NO idea that world color affects even closed spaces since that is not the case in Cycles. Thank you!!!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Well as far as I know you're right on World Color not affecting closed spaces. This hallway isn't completely closed as the part behind the camera is open. So the world color does bleed in through there!

[@Master22062]

@@KaizenTutorials I just scaled a cube, put the camera inside, world colour to blue. Cycles rendered shading...nothing. everything black, as expected. Eevee rendered shading.. everything blue 😁 So I think it's an Eevee quirk 😊

[@cashtanimations]

I watched this video twice, that good it is! :D actually knew most of the stuff (because I work mainly with Eevee), but was curious about how indirect lighting works..do you think it can be used in animation? with bigger scenes, where camera and stuff moves?

[@KaizenTutorials]

Awesome, love to hear it! It can definitely be used for animation. Like you saw in the vid I used it there as well. Thing is, it can be a little heavy on the computer. So what you could best do is, instead of doing one big irradiance volume, do several small ones on targeted locations where you want lighting and reflections!

[@cashtanimations]

[@genesis2303]

One thing I often do is adjusting white point and black point in curves in compositor, didn't see this much on compositing videos, kind of wonder why? I'ts basic thing which immediately help to find better contrast.

[@KaizenTutorials]

That’s a great tip! Adjusting the white and black balances makes for good contrast and it really ties everything together in the scene 👍🏻

[@ian_b]

Great! Thanks!

[@chrystianyaxche5381]

very good tutorial, although you skipped the part about how to put those layers in the renderl layer. One question: how do you show the operation of an individual ramp color and then return to the normal view, thank you

[@KaizenTutorials]

With CTR+Shift + Left mouse you can preview nodes. To get the full material back just preview the final shader node. This only works with the node wrangler addon.

Since my first works on Blender I have always used all the settings, even I didnt right away know what all settings did. When I started Blender about year ago it was at start just a lot of adjusting (it still is). After finding Ambient Occlusion I couldn't render any picture without it, Everyone just looks ugly without AO. I think Ambient occlusion adds alone 75% more personality and depth to the picture, and everyone should learn to use it without someone telling them to use it:D But all in all, it's great video.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah! AO is amazing. And I get what you mean about experimenting for yourself. But some people struggle with that and like examples of what’s possible! So that’s why I think these videos are still useful.

[@darkforpl]

@@KaizenTutorials Yeah, you are absolutely right. This reminded me about the some guy who has used Blender couple of years and still haven't figured out the useful settings for rendering, not even AO. Maybe I may link your video for him.

Great Tutorial and tipps except from the lens distortion. In Photography you remove distortion and chromatic aberrations in postproduction or the camera does it even for you automaticly. For a professional shot like this, these failures don't make sense. Everytime i see these failures i know its a rendering. 🙂 But anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks! I agree wholeheartedly with you if you're solely aiming for realism. In this case though I'm going for that typical 'game-like' look. Good of you to point it out though, useful for people to know that in realism you try to get rid of these artifacts! 🙌

Wow, amazing difference 🔥 How does the indirect baking system work on animated lights? Does it calculate every single frame? (Police car, ambulance, tv screen, light color change, alarm, etc...)

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah you need to cache the lighting! I’m not 100% sure on the animated light, but I’m assuming it will take this into the bake.

[@angeld7849]

Watching your tutorial again I discorvered some problems 1. Do you use a giant screen? because I can't see the names of the nodes 2. What is the strange cut between viewer and compose?

[@KaizenTutorials]

I use a 24 inch screen! So not that big really. Which nodes can’t you read specifically? The compositing nodes? Those are some Colorramps, mix RGB’s, a color balance, rgb curves and lens distortion. The strange cut is a node re-route. Which is available by holding shift and right click dragging over two connectors. They will then get combined with the re-route node. It’s an easy way of taking one output and combining it in multiple inputs. Basically just a way to keep your node sheet clean and easy to view. However definitely not a necessary addition in any means :-)

[@angeld7849]

@@KaizenTutorials 1. Okay, almost none understood, I only understood AO, shadow and mist but I could only see it when you brought the nodes closer, which was luck. 2. Okay, you didn't show how to do that node re-route, I needed to watch other tutorials for this.. (Btw sorry my bad english)

Ah yeah sorry, it wasn’t really the intention of going too in depth. Just to showcase some fast options to make everything look a bit better. And yeah I didn’t explain about the reroute node, sorry! If you want I can send you a screenshot of the nodes (close-up). Let me know! 👍🏻

[@KaizenTutorials]

Haha! Well honestly I’m not sure. My 3060ti is pretty awesome to be honest but I don’t think performance wise it’s that much better. Benchmarks are better, especially due to the higher cuda cores, but I don’t really think it matters that much in the end.

Yo I actually I have two questions, one 3d modeller to another. how long did it take you to model this scene? I'm fairly new to modelling (last few years) and always feel like I rush things, so any perspective you could give me would be a massive help. also, did you make custom materials or use presets but modified colour values?

[@KaizenTutorials]

I’m not sure exactly anymore, but I think I spent about 6 hours modelling and texturing this. All materials are either very basic procedural materials done in blender or they’re downloaded via the Blenderkit Addon.
