Blender test renders
Added 2021-06-16 06:11:40 +0000 UTCAs we mentioned in last week's text update, we've been testing Blender rendering options to ensure the quality is comparable to Maya rendering. Miro rendered the attached images in Blender using a scene created by the artist Method Mad (with models from MustardSFM, Rigid3D, and Nyl).
We tested two Blender rendering engines, Eevee and Cycles, at two different sizes, 1080p and 4k. In the 1080p test, Eevee produced the attached image in 16 seconds, while Cycles took 102x longer at 27 minutes and 27 seconds. A similar image would take about 10-15 minutes in Maya, and even more in Daz.
For the 4k test, Eevee rendered the image in 1 minute 15 seconds, while Cycles took 95x longer at 1 hour and 59 minutes. We don't render 4k in Maya but based on the 1080p test, we can guess it would take about 50 times longer than Eevee.
Things to note: neither of the images have had any post work, which we'd normally do for our final work. Also the scene is slightly optimized to the Eevee engine.
Let us know what you think of the quality, both in terms of how they compare to each other, and how they compare to the visual quality of our animations.

4k Eevee

2021-06-28 16:00:45 +0000 UTCAs others have said we love Tifa and Nyl cocks! :D As far as the rendering, I don't think the quality difference really matters much especially when you're saving SO much rendering time! At least for still images I don't think it matters really so I'd go with the way faster rendering method. However I'm really wondering how these 2 rendering methods vary for video outputs. If Eevee can render nearly as good video then that would make such a huge difference when it comes to your workflow and putting out amazing content, wouldn't you agree?

2021-06-23 04:58:44 +0000 UTCThey're using other peoples models to test this out, once they port of the ones we're used too it'll be tied with the inhouse dong prop.

2021-06-23 02:09:57 +0000 UTCI don't think there cocks look half as good.

2021-06-17 18:15:55 +0000 UTCBlender with EEvee is obviously the best choice but please don't waste the extra time saved with pubic hair -_-'

2021-06-17 13:04:36 +0000 UTCI agree with others: Cycles has better lighting, but overall Eevee is better. Also, I hate the nose on the blonde woman. LOL

2021-06-17 05:23:47 +0000 UTCYa Eevee looks better, but Cycles has more realistic lighting. Overall Eevee is way better.

2021-06-17 05:22:20 +0000 UTCEevee is the way to go.

2021-06-17 00:59:16 +0000 UTCSeems Cycles has the better/more realistic lighting behavior.

2021-06-17 00:48:28 +0000 UTCdon't like hairy.

2021-06-17 00:47:39 +0000 UTCEevee. Love that cock model. Wish you'd use it in Miro's works. I also follow Method, Rigid & NYL myself.

2021-06-16 19:05:36 +0000 UTCI would go with Eevee as well.

2021-06-16 16:00:19 +0000 UTCThe Eevee images look better than Cycles
Egdod
2021-06-16 15:52:30 +0000 UTCYou have to tailor the lighting to each renderer -- if you tailor to one and simply switch the render engine, the unoptimized scene will look bad.

2021-06-16 15:05:25 +0000 UTCWhatever leads to more Cerene and Sayako images and videos is good with me.

2021-06-16 13:50:51 +0000 UTCIn terms of quality of image produced, I have to say that I have a strong preference for the Eevee renders over the Cycles renders. I was noticing a lot of little things that would require cleanup in the Cycles renders (mostly lighting and shadows) that would not require cleanup in the Eevee renders. The difference in render time is just icing on the cake that has been buried months ago.

2021-06-16 13:14:29 +0000 UTCOoohhh ... That was a mistake. Now people are going to want lots of Tifa lol

2021-06-16 12:03:00 +0000 UTCThey look great so if you are saying eevee is working faster then Daz an Maya you are going to switch too eevee?
Xavier Hall
2021-06-16 11:19:05 +0000 UTCHave you tried Cycle-X? It makes work 2-5 times faster but I think it's just beta in this times.

2021-06-16 09:26:18 +0000 UTCThat dick and balls looks so good on them, please use the dick and balls from this on some of your characters or even all of your characters and or on some new ones, and one more thing no pubic hair it just doesn't look very nice on these types of characters but hey that's just a preference of mine it's up to you what you wish to do 😊
General Cellron XD
2021-06-16 07:31:19 +0000 UTCYou should definitively use Eevee for rendering. It looks so much better compared to Cycles. And the rendering speed makes SmZ-69 jealous. ^^
TenchiKun
2021-06-16 07:17:15 +0000 UTCLooks good, but could you pleeeeease remove the private hair from Tifa's body? It looks so wrong.

2021-06-16 07:05:49 +0000 UTCDo the same pic with say and tara, please.
ButchiButch
2021-06-16 06:54:05 +0000 UTCThe only thing that stands out to me are the eyes. The sclera of the eyes look black/red. It's very noticeable in the 1080 Eevee to 1080 Cycles.

2021-06-16 06:44:07 +0000 UTCEvee is great, however the downside is it requires A LOT more setup than the other options Blender has.
