What are the limitations of Eevee in real time?
This is fast and looks great in most circumstances, but cannot work with anything not seen by the camera such as the backs or bottoms of objects. Eevee can also use reflection probes, which are planes, cubes, or spheres that act like virtual cameras. They render what is around them and then map that image onto the object.
How does per object sorting work in Eevee?
In Eevee we have something called “per object sorting”. This means that the object with its origin the furthest away from the camera will be drawn first. In some cases we may have geometry in front of another object, but the origin points may be reversed. This may mess up our transparency in Eevee if we have multiple transparent layers.
Where are the depth of field settings in Eevee?
Select your camera and go to the object data properties represented by the green camera icon in the properties. Here you will find a Depth of field section that you can enable. We will only touch on this briefly since it is slightly outside the scope of Eevee render settings.
What does ambient occlusion do in Eevee render?
Eevee ambient occlusion settings Ambient occlusion is a feature that creates shadow where different surfaces meet. For instance in corners and crevasses where light would normally be more limited. By the way, I have a full article here, covering everything there is to know about ambient occlusion.
What’s the difference between cycles and Eevee rendering?
Cycles is not limited by resolution or mapping techniques, and the difference a couple bounces makes is crucial for things like compositing for VFX. The thing Eevee kicks Cycles’ butt at is rendering ‘god rays’, where light is projected through a volume.
How can Eevee occlude a set distance from an object?
Eevee can only occlude a set distance away from an object. In the first Cycles render above, notice how the sides of the box have large gradients and the surfaces where the monkey heads sit have small gradients. The combination of both sharp and broad transitions between light and dark looks very natural.
Which is better for god rays cycles or Eevee?
The thing Eevee kicks Cycles’ butt at is rendering ‘god rays’, where light is projected through a volume. While Eevee is less accurate, it looks good enough for most cases and is completely noise free. You can even add 3D textures to make it even more interesting. Complex volumes, however, are another story.
