Optimize interior Renderings in Blender Cycles

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

This is superb. Clear dialogue and tight editing. You were able to give real practical tips and also emphasise that there’s no one size fits all “solution”, giving the knowledge for people to find what works for their situation. Top stuff!

[@sander-wit]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this awesome tutorial.

[@valit8517]

This is the holy grail of tutorials. From the music to the voice to the info. Thank you.

[@SuperIceteapeach]

yeah man the music was so nice in the background, i just realised after watching it just because of your comment lol

[@Erindale]

Great video! A lot of people get hung up on render speeds but learning to get images out fast makes such a huge difference to your productivity and ability to review your work

[@rileyb3d]

It's you! Thanks for stopping by. I agree. I definitely have a window between start of project and interest burnout. The more I get done in that window and can move on, the better my life is.

[@daveSoupy]

This might be the greatest interior lighting tutorial ive ever seen.

[@Huntertime]

The Blender community need those little more advanced and concise tutorials to specific issues, but not 4 hours long streaming replay. Having a bad section was helpful as well because that would be the 1st thing that I would do without this video. Well played dude, very clean and clear on why you do things that way, why you check this box, etc... Rooting for more 15ish minutes advanced tutorials, you rightfully earned a follow!

[@rileyb3d]

Thanks for the feedback and the follow! We could cover quite a bit in 15 minutes. What are some more advanced topics or techniques you'd like to see covered?

[@chinonsopromise4962]

​@@rileyb3d I would love you to cover VFX compositing of reflections, use cases of indirect and direct rendering. Which will aid the easiest way of realistic compositing of 3d objects in real life video footage. I would love to learn more of that side sir, I've been confused of it

[@pedroc3948]

Wow, I'm so glad I clicked on this video. This dude actually knows why he's doing what he's doing. Most tutorials they just say "add this node, change this value..." It's like they have no idea why it works, they just watched a tutorial and decided to make one too.

[@rileyb3d]

Thanks! I agree. Nothing worse than just clicking buttons and not knowing why. It's annoying, but the info also doesn't stick in the brain. This way is much better!

Insanely useful, especially the explanation regarding targeted de-noising, thanks!

[@JosephHenryDrawing]

This is what every lighting artist should do! Optimizing scenes and understand roughly how ray tracing works is a super valuable skill. Good job on explaining that!

[@xDaShaanx]

Not many people realise that Lighting and optimization is very hard. Every thing else we can learn from tutorials way faster than lighting and composition. This tutorial is a beast. No other youtube talked about lighting and render optimization with this much depth. Thanks for sharing all that knowledge. :)

[@prathameshgaikwad7550]

The best take away from this video was, how to create glass material, cloth material, complete guide on denoise, complete guide on light composition, importance of crypomatte. Thank you so much, I had confusion for glass and cloth materials, and today they are clear, not only that, the light path node also you explained it clearly.

@@rileyb3d wow, then you're perfect person to ask my question, I'm planning to get into Archviz/interior renders, design (I'm civil engineer by profession still searching for job, just learning some software, in hope that maybe this might workout) Q- i can't get the scale, material, texture right in the scene as i imagined(from rough draft), it doesn't look in harmony looks very off, should I draw whole plan first in CAD & then import to blender or? Any tips in general from your experience in this field ( can't use 3dsmax any other because they're expensive)

Keep up the great work my friend!

[@JoaoSilva22222]

Thank you so much for this master class! So helpful!

[@Myselfsama]

Phenomenal tutorial. The only part that I didnt 100% understand was the light clamping settings, but I think that migth be one of those "you have to play with" settings to really get a feel for it. Thumbs up!

[@rileyb3d]

Direct light clamping: It's like a gate that stops higher values of direct light from entering the scene. Lower numbers clamp more light. I typically don't touch direct, because it will mess with the intensity of light coming in. Indirect light clamping: Same thing, but with indirect light. So imagine you have an intense light source like our HDRI coming in the window. If indirect is not clamped, it can potentially create fireflies as it bounces around the interior with all of those indirect light bounces. If you clamp indirect (lower number) you might avoid some fireflies, but you can also darken the scene as you limit the light in the indirect bounces. I hope that makes sense, but as you mentioned it's definitely one to play around with.

[@Ahtisham]

Wow this was so fricking helpful just the thing I needed, I was trying different things but this is the knowledge i needed, Thank you.

Oh great explanation, that material and portal info is neat and clean. My mind was blown at matte denoise idea. Thank you!

[@Moove_Studio]

This was fantastic, thanks for sharing! I've known most of the techniques explained here already, however, separating the rays using the light path node was a big-brain move!

[@recurveninja]

Absolutely super video - I would have never thought of material-level ray separation when it comes to lighting scenes, nor did I even know cryptomattes were a thing in Blender. Clear, concise, and very informative. Great work.

[@Oskier94]

@@rileyb3d I come from a different background as I'm doing more game dev stuff but your videos are just cool to watch and learn for future if I'll use blender for rendering, personally I think yt lacks environment tutorials like roads, buildings trees and how to quickly set up a good looking and detailed bigger scene (but I'm talking like 1x1 km scene) it's not that useful as most game engines have their own terrain editor where you place assets so I wouldn't recommend doing a tutorial on that, it's mostly array, curve and shrink wrap modifiers so yeah, I just trust your content and if you're looking for inspiration there are always geometry nodes. Although making a game ready asset including baking normal maps AO, roughness and diffuse would bring some fresh air 🫡

[@rileyb3d]

@@Oskier94 Thanks for the feedback. A huge part of my full-time job the last 4 years or so has been asset creation in Blender. Then taking those assets out to various places (including baking for games). In my biased opinion, there's no better tool than Blender for the job. Especially when you start using some plugins that make the baking workflow incredibly easy. I might be interested in creating some Blender to Unreal content if it interests people. Creating in Blender, and then set dressing and rendering in unreal. I know a lot about interiors because it's been my job for a while, but that's not necessarily what interests me when I'm off the clock. Thanks again!

@@rileyb3d cool cool I just do race tracks replicas for sim racing games for people to practice before events and I put aside other stuff but I used to do product visualisations :) my biased opinion is same as yours and blender to ue sounds really good I would consider blender to quixel (to keep assets in one place with materials ready to be exported) to UE 4 / 5

Excellent and pragmatic work. In my case, as a graphic designer, I create real state brochures which need work with 3D interior designers who maybe are not so fast and educated in this kind of optimizations. It's so refreshing to see that the same speed that takes me to rework a layout in a given page, takes you to render a new image.

You can also uncheck shadows in the object properties for the glass object of the winodml. This also helps a lot

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Imesu channel showed almost the same as you did. But with the extra of unchecking Ng shadows for the glass object. Perhaps it's about the same as what it does on the shader level. His image looked a bit less noisy, but that was a different scene as well

[@jemdzemaricha9838]

One neat trick i picked up is often rendering higher resolution image(1440p instead of 1080p) can actually save you time. Higher resolution leads to way better denoising while suprisingly not adding as much time to render as you might think making it actually faster than cranking your samples at 1080p
