Yes, I’m aware of eevee. Would you say that eevee produces output of a comparable quality to Cycles or UE5 with Lumen?

- somat 4y agoI have no idea, I only use blender rarely and almost never render. eevee is intended to be compatible with cycles, I would guess that if your scene does not depend on the advanced lighting that a forward renderer like cycles enables it could replace cycles. I also expect it to be as good, if not better than ue5 as it does not have to hit the framerates that ue5 has to achieve.
- darkteflon 4y agoYes, eevee can look great with the right settings. I guess the devil in the detail is what we respectively mean by "great", and "better". Context is crucial: what you're trying to do, where you're doing it and with what constraints, etc. I guess I would just then reiterate the context of my original comment, which is that the creator of Blender and current foundation chairman is looking at UE's real-time render pipeline and coming away very impressed, even to the extent that he thinks it should influence the future direction of Blender's own real-time pipeline.
- N1ckFG 4y agoThere's an Eevee update in the works that includes some Lumen ideas, real emissive materials for instance (iirc). Even for now, you can dive into the options and enable some stuff like refraction that defaults to off for the folks with less GPU.
