Blender 3.0 - Cycles X Comparison & BEST Render Settings

[@alessiomantovanelli2758]

Oh yes, I'm amazed. I have a low-end pc (i5-8400, GTX 1050 2GB) and this new version of Cycles is the best thing that could happen in a while. It renders so much faster!

[@FunnyAmprsar]

When did you buy a GTX 1050 2GB? Is it like off right now?

[@PowerBiWithVivek]

I use GTX 1650 which is mid end gaming GPU ,I bought Acer nitro 5 with i5 10 gen ,and this year that same amount could have bought me i5 11 gen with rtx 3060 😔 but cycles X saved alot of frustration 😊

I love Blender for making such big update in cycles ,before that render time is way too much but after Blender updated cycles to cycles x render times is 1/10 of previous render time ,in cycles I used to take 1024 samples which takes usually 1 hour for a single still frame now I take 4096 samples which takes 10 minutes for one frame ,way more faster ,

[@rahulsinha12043]

Cycles X is really a big leap in terms of rendering 🔥

not for amd. for amd it's a big downgrade.

[@tommegg8486]

Cycles x is a godsend for me as an architecture visualisatior. Interior render is about 2x faster most of the time

[@gabrielmoro3d]

This is amazing. There are some settings I didnt pay attention and will now. Thank you!

lifesaver video! no one wants to talk about render settings, but everyone needs them...

[@lucashaymaker5927]

Thank you for explaining the new render settings. I recently rendered an animation in cycles and tested a few of the settings, but this helps a lot :)

[@glitchered]

that's a nice machine. 3080m with double the ram. i upgraded from a 940m cuda slideshow to a 3060m, recently. massive increase in performance. i'm mostly impressed how well 3.0 and optix handles emissive mesh materials these days. they were noisy af in the past. renders some fine lightsabers now. :)

[@simongravel7407]

Lightsabers you say!? :D

[@pavidarkin9797]

That was a really thorough breakdown. Very informative. Cheers

[@DarkSwordsman]

Just a note: While you can still lower samples a bit, it's more effective to use the noise threshold in most scenarios. You can often increase it to 0.02 or 0.03 and see nearly the same speed as lowering samples, but higher overall path resolution

[@MVARTZ]

I've gone from 2:20 to 30 sec for a scene I'm working on. With a 5 seconds gap between 2048 and 1024 tiles size. (in favor of the latter) rendered with RTX 2070 optix, that's a significant time saver for 250 frames of animation 😁😁 Btw, I just updated and noticed there was no auto tile size addon anymore, do you know more about why that might be? It might be a good thing, cause I got complacent with tweaking my render settings and relied to much on auto tiles addon in that department! Anyway, great video as always! Your renders look amazing! 🤩🤩

[@HAWXLEADER]

Because there are no more tiles in blender.

[@joshuaanderson6609]

@@HAWXLEADER Yes there are lol, maybe you just have them disabled or aren't rendering a large enough image to notice with the default size

Don't know about 3.0 but in previous versions, auto tiles addon was hidden, you have you enable it manually.

[@amitjnr1167]

You are my master from now 👑

[@DadicekCz]

The only thing that shocked me in the 3.0 update was that in previous versions i could render via Optix (i have an RTX 3060 laptop) but now it says i don't have a compatible GPU. Which is understandable, if they totally changed the render mechanics but the extra rendering speed up is anulated by the fact i can render "just" via Cuda now.

[@joshlagreca]

I think I had that same problem but updating the drivers through the Geoforce application solved it.

So I have a question. I want to become pro at uv mapping in blender. But I don’t have any models to uv map. I know how to model, but modeling takes time. And I am sure there are many character and environment modelers out there, who don’t want to worry about uv mapping. So I was wondering how would you go about asking people if they need their model uv mapped? Maybe there is a blender community where can offer their services. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

[@simongravel7407]

I hope you're going to encounter success! UV mapping is the equivalent of rotoscopy in compositing, people kind of want to outsource that sometimes.

Tilesize is really dependent on the kind of GPU. But indeed do test and do a lot of them. save them all with times and add settings you applied per image so you can review it easy

In the 2.9 I used Auto Tile Size, but now it seems that it doesn't work with 3.0, so sad, it made the work automatic.

Am a noob when it comes to blender, but when I was using the older version with adaptive sampling it would calculate how many samples it need and render them, so a regular scene would render in 20- 30 seconds, but with Blender 3.0 i have to manually put the amount of samples and it now render the same scene in 2-4 minutes.

@@ДмитроПрищепа-д3я it's at the default but I lowered the maximum render sample from 4025 to 1025 and the threshold I didn't change it, I think it's at 0.01 Isnt there an option like the old days where blender determine the threshold and render samples

[@ДмитроПрищепа-д3я]

@@ThinkForward0 I don't think there is. Threshold already does that, the amount of samples you set there is the maximum amount that can be rendered if the noise doesn't go away to the threshold. So, if your scene is especially noisy, you can lower the maximum number of samples even more to like 128 or 64. Or set the noise to 0.1. What are your specs, btw? And does blender properly load your pc when rendering?

[@ThinkForward0]

@@ДмитроПрищепа-д3я i5 9400f, gtx 1650 super. My maximum is at 1025 so you say if I put it around 125 it should render quicker with less noise?

[@elilawrence7166]

How could I go about finding a good time limit to set on sample rendering per frame of an animation? Sorry pretty new to this still! I'm so appreciative of the tips you put out!

[@DadicekCz]

This extremely depends on your rendering hardware and on the scene you're willing to render. You know, 10x faster GPU will give you way better results in some given time. S thing for the scene : when you have an open scene with a few objects that are lit from all sides, you don't really need that many samles and time, but when you're trying to render a completely enclosed interior, especially softly lit, you need a *lot* of samples and time for it to look somewhat acceptable. I think you should just try out different renders with different times and see yourself how your hardware performs in such times :)
