I actually forgot to mention one amazing built-in add-on! It's called Add Mesh: Extra Objects. I use it all the time and it adds additional mesh objects and shapes which you can simply add to your scenes with Shift+A. Definitely make sure to enable it! 🤓

Congrats on the 100k subs! You've earned it! Keep on creating valuable Blender content! On a side note regarding splitting viewport windows, here's a fun fact: Click-dragging from an upper corner of a window and then holding down the Control key creates a new split viewport window using snap increments! This is handy if say, you want to split a viewport window to 50%-50%. This is not limited to creating a new window however! Begin sliding a window border (to resize it) and then once again hold down the Control key while click dragging will also result in snapping the window border's position!

Somebody probably said it already but if you select "view" in that second from the top left bar, and then fiddle about with the submenus you should find an option to toggle "quad view" in place of the four windows. I find that to be more convenient with less windows to deal with and less toolbars and menu bars, and it doesn't let you accidently offset the orthographic perspective. Downside is that means I don't think you can change which ortho perspectives you're seeing, but better than me constantly forgetting which views are supposed to be dedicated

02:50. I have always rendered with optix, my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 and AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics both turned on. When you had your AMD turned off, I was a bit conflicted. So I did a test render with the scene I am currently working on. With just the Nvidia turned on, it rendered in 33 seconds but with both on, it rendered in 40 seconds. Maybe this is just applies to the scene but I'd run another test with a different scene in future to see how that works out. But with the aforementioned specs, does it mean my AMD kind of hampers my GPU during rendering?
@KaizenTutorials
Жыл бұрын
Yeah your CPU bottlenecks your GPU basically. I've heard that if you have a CPU that outperforms your GPU it does make your renders go faster to have both on, but in almost all cases this is not how it works since most people have a CPU that bottlenecks their GPU.

2:25 Well.. honestly, "Orbit Around Selection" SUСKS. There is a MUCH better way to choose the orbit point - just "ALT + MIDDLE MOUSE CLICK" will set the orbit point on mesh or on ANY point in a Scene, which was clicked this way. Such approach gives MUCH more freedom and agility for work, than "Orbit Around Selection"

Is there a disadvantage to setting OptiX to both GPU and CPU? I have Ryzen 7700X CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 4080.
@KaizenTutorials
Жыл бұрын
Not as far as I knoow. Especially when using Optix rendering. Optix is optimized to use NVIDIA GPU's to their full potential, so the CPU just limits that effect in this case. I believe in CUDA, adding in your CPU could help, but I'm not 100% sure about that. So the short answer; is there a disadvantage? No, besides slightly longer render times.

The default white color in Blender is not 100% white, so you'll have to make sure the material you add uses a 100% white color. Alternatively this could also be a result of the lighting you're using. If for example you use a sky texture your walls will never be 100% white as a result of the bounce lighting and light absorption.

Ah ok! Well it could be Blender changed things to be honest.
Are you actually getting faster renders yourself by disabling the CPU while using Optix? I've been using both CPU and GPU, and just out of curiosity i tried doing a render with only the GPU. Using the exact same settings my render time increased from 12 minutes to about 34. I'm on a bit of a lopsided system though, with a Ryzen 5900X and a 2060 Super, so my GPU doesn't quite keep up in general. I'm sure different scenes would be affected differently but i'm still having a hard time seeing how disabling my CPU would give me shorter render times, even with a more powerful GPU. If you've done tests yourself and found that render times go down overall, i'm curious as to why that is, because it seems completely counterintuitive. I see no reason as to why the CPU would hamper the GPU's performance rather than help.
@KaizenTutorials
Жыл бұрын
I agree it seems conterintuitive. If you look at my video on improving render speed I say to use both GPU and CPU. But if you're using Optix specifically, only using the GPU is significantly faster. I've tested it and only using GPU on my system (Ryzen 3700X and 3070Ti) I got about a 6 second faster render without CPU. Probably because my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. In your case it's probably the other way around!
@christopher-

@@KaizenTutorials Right, i looked around a bit and it seems this is an effect of how hybrid rendering is done, at least within Cycles. However, this means that this advice is only actually applicable to those with a CPU bottleneck. I would encourage other people to actually test this out for themselves and not blindly disable the CPU for rendering. Though i'm sure most people tend to have a lesser CPU, since a putting more money into the GPU is generally more favorable. I've simply been stuck with mine because of the ridiculous prices of new graphics cards.
the tip about disabling CPU rendering isnt correct. it depends. i had nvidia 1060, it rendered quicker with cpu and gpu together. cpu alone, 8 hours, gpu alone, 2 hours, cpu and gpu, 1 hour. Now that im on 3060, just gpu renders faster.
