But like, Cycles is already plenty fast on RTX cards. And I'm taking about 20 series cards. If the work ends in Cycles I don't see much point using Eevee. I can see it being a good option to simulate videogame rendering but that's it.

⁠​⁠@@FlameRat_YehLonpersonally, I use Eevee to get a rough preview on how the scene will look with lighting and materials, cycles can still take too long to preview bigger scenes. I still prefer Cycles as the final renderer though. Also using volumetrics is a no-go for me when using cycles, as it is way too slow for the quality you get. Eevee can also look better in some instances.

Eevee 2.0 really does looks like the next step in rendering faster for those with weaker hardware

you'll still need to use at least a GTX1080 as the minimum to actually manage the raytrace part, going under that spec basically you just want to go back on the old Eevee method because RTSS is quite heavy on much older GPU

As a cycles fan eevee is a champ you can get crazy results even without global illumination

Quick note: Fast GI Approximation settings (aka "horizon scan" mode) are working at Max Roughness values from 0.0 to 0.8, and it takes light probes into accounts. From 0.8 to 1, Eevee Next transitions from Fast GI into pure raytracing mode, and if I remember correctly, in this mode it stops using light probes. Or maybe they changed that, not sure

Eeevee next is nothing different if u used SSGI version of old Eeevee. Screenspace Global illumination is not a new technology, it should have been in old eeevee, thats finally added but its still screenspace so it will cause inconsistency in videos (screenspace transmittion improvement is good because old eevee almost lacked it), Only unique and nice thing added is Shadows from HDRI but u could give some shadows by adding ur own light to where sun location is before as well , and VSM shadows, the technique UE5 uses, its very good new technology in terms of being future proof, also now it has displacement but u cant still use many displacements without ruining GPU, what we needed was parallax displacement for Eeeve but its still not here. but if u look overall u cant say Eeevee next is some much better looking. Its faster in the bake lighting aspect but Someone who know old eeevee can get same results by knowing how to use it.Or if someone use SSGI eevee build, they already had results like this. So it cant be compared by images but can be compared by time taken to reach same things. Plus Old eevee was better in UI aspect cuz it allowed u to seperately enable reflections GI and ambient occlusion or refractions . now they put them in same section and call it raytracing but its not RTX yet, its still same screenspace

i really appreciate, that you do answer that title question immediately xD

Excited 🤯

This is such a step up for those using UPBGE !

I'am using Eevee and this Update ist HUGE 🤩

It's really nice seeing Eevee get some significant upgrades now. I remember being so excited for realtime rendering back in 2.8 when it was introduced and with this update it's getting closer and closer to being a genuinely usable thing for final renders without having to compromise quality. Obviously Cycles is still better for most things, but there may come a day when the difference is very minimal, and that's super exciting.

great video, thank you for the indepth look at the new eevee, seriously though by the time I make all the adjustments you've mentioned the render time blows out to be much slower than cycles.....and cycles just works without alot of the tweaking thats required with eevee next. I suppose people may be able to find some sort of compromise between quality and render times that works for them.

Thanks for the run through. If I ever use Eevee I will look at this to see those settings. But even now I can't be bothered with all the messing about for trivial variation to save a bit of render time. Just use Cycles click and wait, go do something else for a while. (ok some few will be so desperate to save time, good luck to them). Oh what just struck me is this Eevee system needs a simple slider single button. That alters the parameters automatically to fit the time it is taking. So you set it to 30 secs and it sets all their things so the scene just renders in that time as best it can.

Amazing. Even if it's not a matter of slower hardware, it's nice to just be able to render faster.

Hey yo, I have question what about refraction behavior on glasses and kristals?

When Spectral Cycles arrives - Cycles will be so scientifically photo-accurate that way fewer ppl will ask this question. The accuracy bar should constantly be moved: rasterized -> raytraced-> pathtraced -> spectral pathtraced -> wave optics

I did not open blender for maybe 6 months as I only use it occasionnally, raytracing in eevee got me excited so I opened blender before I even finished your video and made a cornell box setup to test cycles vs eevee, and the results are very good unfortunately I've noticed that they've removed a lot of features from eevee and replaced some of them with their equivalent in raytracing, I liked the bloom effect a lot in eevee for example. and it sadly broke every single one of my old eevee projects :( Either they look extremely bad with a lot of noise everywhere, or they simply just don't work at all

not sure if this is the right place, but for a while now im struggling with bloom/glare in animations, how to render that. ik you use sequencer but that just works for one frame at a time (image render) and not an animation

ıt looks realistic enough for me even if its not good as cycles, ı cant even imagine the time its going to save. thats a great one

I don't know if it will replace cycles all together, cycles is great for things like baking and all that but I will say.. I did update to the experimental 4.2 branch to try it out... Cycles has always ran like crap on my 1660 Ti. Even with a relatively small viewport, my FPS is terrible and I can't get it to look super crisp without the camera not moving forever. My PC is just outdated... I tried out the new Eevee and even if I have to use cycles for my final products, I will say using Eevee up until that point was really nice. It was really nice being able to move the camera and objects in the scene around and I could see everything relatively crisp and clearly, even with my entire screen as the viewport. The lighting and everything did look much better. I'm excited to see where this goes in the future and the improvements they continue to make!

It will be a while still until something can fully replace proper rendering, but it's fantastic that we're getting so close now!

You need to put some warning for people with low ceiling to wear their helmets because who would bother with sound normalization 😅 Other than that, really nice overview 👍

whatever you wanna call it

For clamping (when active AKA not 0), you should use HIGHER values, like 10, and not small values like 0.1 since that will clamp any ray with an energy higher than 0.1, darkening the scene.

@SouthernShotty at 1:52 you say the numbers are misleading. its a 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤 which mean its a ✨fraction✨. how it works is that if you want full resolution, its 1 out of 1 meaning its the same, but if its 1 out of 4 than it will be a quarter resolution. 👇who went to middle school

u shouldnt be decieved by that new word ''raytracing'', its not RTX or that new hardware raytracing that we see in UE4 , its same technieuqe, its screenspace raytracing, so it doesnt need any RTX thing. Screenspace reflections and refraction are all same logic, they just added Screenspace Global illumunation and made code better and updated, and they added shadows from HDRI and changed shadow technique, naming of raytracing is not accurate in blender UI, so dont mind that naming,

Ducky 3D be really happy after this

Well, this time around, I sincerely hope this turns out to be for real cos I remember you once did a video, some months back, seriously hyping up Eevee Next, which turned out to be pretty bad when we tried it😂

I'm still waiting for 4.2 to release before I continue any hobby work with Blender.

I swear, once I get my first paycheck, half of it will go to Blender for being so awesome and free.

0:57 shallow depth of field! high would mean the exact opposite (more in focus)

Your sliders in UI are orange color. How can I change that look?

without comparing them side by side, i'm fine with evee

Nice look on evee, actually its like unity from few years back 😂😂

What beta branch/build is this in?

I feel like that gif of caseoh after saying shrimp alfredo

I do very complex procedural textures in blender to bake for gaming, Cycles is magnitudes faster than Eevee for that when the shader goes more complex... Does Eevee 2 fixed this?

I could see animators just using Eevee just for rendering by importing their work into it from their favorite external software.

is eevee next here though? after every update they say the next update will have it and keep pushing it further every update

It’s coming in 4.2 (or 4.3?) or whichever is coming out this month

path tracing realistic render engines almost became realtime with recent hardware especially with realtime denoisers, even pc games started to bring path tracing option. Now game engines or realtime engines started to look like created with path tracing render engines. The line is blurring so quickly so eventually they all will be merged into one and the same

1:39 Note: EEVEE next uses screen space ray tracing, unlike cycles, which does pure path tracing

Can you do a fisheye lens in EEVEE 2.0 ? Or is that effect still exclusive to Cycles ?

song at the start?

In testing so far, at least for the scene I'm working with, I cannot see any big difference between high and low resolution settings. I use 1:16 for both Raytracing and Fast GI Approximation and low number of rays and steps, and I cannot see any difference. So I don't agree on that you should crank up the settings

Imagine this video exhisted before i started a 100 hour render

Shadows... I need transparent, colored shadows!

is Eevee same quality as Iclone render?

Cycles was my main renderer, now it’s EEVEE Next

I hope i can use eevee 2.0 with ray path node...

Low depth of field, not a high depth of field. A high depth of field would mean the background would remain in focus as well as the foreground.

One of the downsides of Eevee (and still also Eevee Next as well what I've seen so far) is how transmission has to be set up and that emissive materials don't just simply work like in Cycles. It's good to have a quick render, but since my GPU is much better than my old one I stick to Cycles most of the time instead of thinking how I have to change my materials to get them to work as desired.

Anyone else getting really noisy shadows in eevee next? Especially from the sun light with the angle parameter set high.

Is it just me, or is Eevee kind of slower than Cycles in some cases. I know viewport performance is nice. But when you go to do the final render, I’ve always struggled with getting a 4K render to be fast using Eevee. Sometimes it’s as much as 10 - 20 seconds per frame. For that time, I’ll just render in cycles and get a better looking image anyway.

I'm not against eevee getting raytracing, but now simplest renders get stupid amount of noise for no reason even when raytracing is off. I am sticking with my 4.2 alpha release that had both eevee renderers. not gonna move until they let me install the legacy eevee.
