This is great, it doesn't just show some basic eevee settings to make something look decent, you go in depth to try to make it look as close to cycles as possible while explaining how each setting effects the render
this video has probably saved me years of trial and error trying to get realistic lighting in eevee. applied all these tips to the scene I'm working in right now and its quite literally a night and day difference. thank you!
This is a fantastic tutorial! It will be my first time going through cycles to eevee and I couldn't ask for better explanation of basic differences. Thanks!
If your using ssgi can you tell me how many times the render time is increased i want to make realistic animation. But a single min takes hours for me.
@@aryaman3083 SGSI addon doesn't take to much to be honest, maybe 2 more seconds, you can optimize it a bit, it still being EEVEE after all but the result worth it, if you bake lightnings in a proper way and use SGSI the overall look will be more similar to cycles than EEVEE and it'll take way lower render time than Cycles for sure, give it a try, there is also an entire Blender build for SGSI addon itself, it is intended to be more optimized and properly setup only for SGSI EEVEE purpose.
Great tutorial! but just a heads up for people wanting to do photoreal animation in Blender: The problem with all the baking is you can't have an animation with moving objects because the GI bake and the reflection bake will fall apart (there is no fix for this, it's just a limitation of Eevee). Next to that limitation, you have Cycles X. With all the time spent baking and fixing issues in Eevee you might waste more time than just rendering in Cycles X with "adaptive sampling" and "Fast GI Approximation" on.
This tutorial was very good, but I've got one question though, about the irradiance volumes- you moved the geometry to get rid of the improper baked lighting. But what if we're in a scene where we want that geometry to be only in that particular place? Would using multiple irradiance volumes help?
In regards to the cubemap on the ball. If you move the ball to a different collection, then make the visible collection layer one. Then lower the clipping start on the cubemap so it doesn't clip through the floor. That'll remove the black at the bottom.
Rendering in Eevee is pretty intuitive, you just open the panel play around with the settings and make something nice. A lot of it is playing with the world settings, you can use an HDRI but realistically it's not necessary.
I know this not the right place to ask but does anyone know what render engine Ian Hubert using? Some people say he's using EEVEE but his work is so good I don't even believe EEVEE can be that good lol. It seems like it rendered straight out of Cycles.
I believe that most of the stuff is Cycles. For full VFX scenes Cycles tends to be more useful and faster in the sense of not having to fake things like global illumination and screen space reflections.
if this lights is not correct, do this, do that, do it else, do another else, do something else, another do same else, perhaps another else... and maybe its enoght to work or not.... sad! But look at this great tips! Its a great tutorial! Perhaps Blender could be changed soon! They need to focus on hard structure properties for light man, because the matter is transparent for the light! Anyway ty to blender and to this channel! helps me a lot
Finally a tutorial to get "cycles" results from eevee! Can you show tips to get "cycles like" subsurface scattering in eevee? Cycles has that on lockdown, and I would like to at least get close to the same in eevee.
rathe than having the HDR not affect the scene at all, I just turn the strength down, to say .3 , so its acts purely as an ambient light. okay it doesn't cast ahadows, but still provides some good looking ambient light
Really helpful stuff dude! I have one question: What happens to the indirect lighting if we are rendering an animation and one or more lights in the scene need to move?
Currently EEVEE doesn't support dynamic indirect lighting, which means that when the objects and lights move around, the lighting stays the same that it was once baked. According to the manual this limitation will be removed in the future. For now you can either manually rebake lighting for every frame, or use the "EEVEE Dynamic Lighting" addon from BlenderMarket.
There is an addon that can do it. What it does is it bakes every frame, so that it can achieve that. Never tried it though, and you have to buy it. As far as I rememeber the name's dynamic eevee lighting.
i would like to make things ONLY on eevee, because is just more simply and fast but its too hard to set all of this. how to reach that mindset using eevee?
There's a lot of different songs but you are probably wanting to know those from an artist called Ooyy. The songs used might not be public as I got them from Epidemic Sound (music licensing company). You can listen to his public tracks on Spotify.
Really useful - Thanks ! Nice tip in addition :D Just one question : What is your time rendering difference between Eewee and Cycles for those two projects ! I mean, is the time passed to add more & more lighting worth to save render time ?
For a single shot, might not be. Actually this render looked better in EEVEE than in cycles, the render times was for about 2.5x longer in cycles. Probably because the light values were a bit off in path tracing mode, it didn't look as good. But I'd say this is a really important thing to consider, thanks for pointing it out!
Just curious, does this also work with animations? My main concern being the baked information not changing every frame to represent any changes that may have happened
@@BadNormals alright, thanks for letting me know. Just like anything in blender I assume it'll get better over time where it's just a waiting game. I was just wondering if it was something I could do now.
Around 300-400 should be physically correct in cycles. I don't know if that's as much in Eevee but turning it up and lowering the exposure is definitely a good idea.
I still have yet to find a solid explanation why textures in eevee look like from a ps2 game unless they are at 4k or some shi.....meanwhile in cycles ps2 textures look like 4k without even trying. Back when eevee was in beta there was a checkbox for subsurf scattering and one you moved it up it made textures actualy look like they are supposed to, but now it doesnt change anything and it seems like its very obvious what to do and im just stupid?
@@BadNormals yes.. i used the light probe.. but when i tried to render some other file in evve .. with normal settings there is same problem.. the render is blank ...
There is a free add-on called hdri sun alligner witch makes a sun and allign it to the hdri, that way you have shadows in eevee :)

how are you the only person ive watched to actually give a solution to the light bleed other than "it just happens. try making the walls thicker"
The foot blur would be super easy to do in photoshop by taking the render into the program after

At 1:28, I couldn't stop laughing! As a German, this caught me completely off guard.
What are your thoughts on the GI add-on for eevee? Have you tried it yet? Could save some time on the baking perhaps?
I haven't personally used it, but I know this will be built into Blender 3.0, so we can all test it there
Would save time in most situations for sure
You need the SSGI addon for indirect light.

I’ve found that the render time increase by using SSGI makes EEVEE almost the same speed as just using cycles. Am I doing something wrong?
