WEBVTT 00:04.370 --> 00:05.830 Hello everybody and welcome back. 00:05.840 --> 00:09.030 In this lecture you're going to learn about rendering now. 00:09.110 --> 00:14.030 Many of you would have already done this gone up to the render menu and gone to render image or hits 00:14.090 --> 00:15.150 F 12. 00:15.170 --> 00:16.520 And there we go rendering done. 00:16.520 --> 00:21.620 Yeah well there's a few nuances to it so let's go ahead and find out some more. 00:22.550 --> 00:24.050 Okay everybody Welcome back. 00:24.050 --> 00:27.180 So let's go ahead and just set things up. 00:27.200 --> 00:28.010 Ready to render. 00:28.010 --> 00:32.350 We've got the camera all set up we've got the lights set up we're not amended mode at the moment. 00:32.360 --> 00:34.610 Let's go ahead and switch across the rendered mode. 00:34.610 --> 00:37.880 And by the way you can do that on a pie menu in Blender as well. 00:37.890 --> 00:39.560 I very press Z key. 00:39.740 --> 00:45.460 This pie menu appears where we've got a different selection of rendering options. 00:45.530 --> 00:48.260 We do want rendered so I should leave it there. 00:48.260 --> 00:48.800 Okay. 00:48.890 --> 00:51.680 The first tab we're going to go into is the rendered tab. 00:51.710 --> 00:55.230 And I'm also gonna make this area a little bit wider so we can have a look. 00:55.280 --> 01:00.320 Now the rendering engine that we're currently using is the Eevee engine and we've got two others that 01:00.320 --> 01:06.680 we can pick from cycles will work straight out of the box but you will notice in general that it's slightly 01:06.680 --> 01:12.890 unbalanced with the lighting and you may find at this point that your computer gets louder as the fans 01:12.890 --> 01:20.630 ramp up cycles is a lot more intensive than eevee because it's a real time ray tracing engine rather 01:20.630 --> 01:24.590 than a guessing engine and a kind of a cheetah engine. 01:24.590 --> 01:27.920 But eevee is still wonderful for what we can get done with it. 01:28.220 --> 01:35.090 So if we select cycles it's right from the word go it has the right ambient occlusion it has the right 01:35.090 --> 01:41.720 lighting it does reflections properly whereas evey you have to tell it's all the facts but we get a 01:41.720 --> 01:44.550 very quick output from the word go. 01:44.660 --> 01:50.990 Now you also have a ton of options with the Eevee engine and you have a ton of different options with 01:50.990 --> 01:52.400 the cycles engine. 01:52.400 --> 01:58.520 Now at this point you'll be feeling a little overwhelmed by the sheer choice on offer here but don't 01:58.520 --> 02:01.400 worry we'll cover all of this later in the course. 02:01.520 --> 02:07.220 But for now I'm going to leave it with eevee and I'm going to go down to the next tab not going to change 02:07.310 --> 02:08.640 any of the other settings. 02:08.690 --> 02:10.970 The next tab is about output. 02:10.970 --> 02:14.910 Well let us start off with the resolution this is the resolution of the image itself. 02:15.110 --> 02:17.000 Now 1920 by 10 80. 02:17.000 --> 02:17.330 Great. 02:17.330 --> 02:20.020 We can set this as a screensaver if we want to. 02:20.090 --> 02:26.510 If you wanted it has a four K image instead of setting the resolution accurately what you can do here 02:26.510 --> 02:31.660 is set it 200 percent and that will be the same as rendering output for k. 02:32.570 --> 02:34.010 So let's go ahead and do that now. 02:34.010 --> 02:36.460 Let's go to render render image. 02:36.470 --> 02:38.640 And we get our first image out. 02:38.750 --> 02:40.430 Oh dear what's going on here. 02:40.430 --> 02:41.630 Why is it so zoomed in. 02:41.960 --> 02:44.730 Well it zoomed in because I'm running at 10 ATP signed. 02:44.750 --> 02:46.030 Do need to zoom out. 02:46.040 --> 02:46.540 There we go. 02:46.530 --> 02:48.390 That's the rest of our image. 02:48.410 --> 02:49.060 Excellent. 02:49.070 --> 02:53.550 I can go ahead here and image save as I'm going to call this. 02:53.570 --> 02:58.810 Well I'm in the appropriate folder for me so that's fine save the image. 02:58.810 --> 02:59.780 Off we go. 02:59.800 --> 03:05.440 Now one of the things you can do whilst we're in this particular view which is if we hover over here 03:05.470 --> 03:11.460 the image editor we can go ahead and change the slot number two slot two. 03:11.590 --> 03:18.110 And what that enables us to do is render again and then flick between slot 1 in slot 2 or even another 03:18.130 --> 03:21.090 slot and look at the differences. 03:21.160 --> 03:26.360 So let's do that now and I'm going to do the same thing but this time switch my render engine across 03:26.360 --> 03:28.060 the cycles. 03:28.060 --> 03:35.680 Now you may be able to set your GP you helping out your CPA you depends on your system what we can do 03:35.680 --> 03:43.150 to check for go to edit preferences Oh and it's opened up a window elsewhere there we go and we have 03:43.150 --> 03:49.150 here under the General tab under system we have cycles compute device. 03:49.180 --> 03:53.680 Now I'm not going to go into the full details at the moment in the course there's much more to learn 03:53.680 --> 04:04.270 later on but you can accelerate your rendering with cycles with CUDA with open S.L. or not total so 04:04.300 --> 04:05.080 at the moment. 04:05.080 --> 04:11.740 Not at all would just use your processor in your machine if you've got another option here you may be 04:11.740 --> 04:16.280 able to use a graphics card to help accelerate the rendering. 04:16.280 --> 04:20.100 I'm not going to include and this is a new feature in 2.8. 04:20.260 --> 04:25.900 The graphics card and the CPE working together because that would ruin the screen recording I'm currently 04:25.900 --> 04:27.240 doing for you guys. 04:27.250 --> 04:32.590 Some other leave it set to my graphics card that I'm going to click save user preferences and we'll 04:32.590 --> 04:38.830 have a much more detailed look at cycles later on in the course when we have a dedicated section where 04:38.830 --> 04:41.290 we're going to use it an awful lot. 04:41.320 --> 04:41.810 OK. 04:41.950 --> 04:53.290 So that is all sorted that's go down and change the device to GP you compute for me you might not have 04:53.290 --> 05:00.420 the option or if you get any errors leave it as CPO I'm going to go to render and render image. 05:00.520 --> 05:05.420 Now you'll notice that this takes significantly longer than even he did. 05:05.530 --> 05:06.390 That's not to worry. 05:06.390 --> 05:08.120 That's the nature of the beast. 05:08.200 --> 05:14.470 Plus this is not set up an optimized for this type of rendering at the moment but we'll let it finish 05:14.470 --> 05:17.530 off and we'll then compare the two. 05:17.530 --> 05:17.870 OK. 05:17.890 --> 05:24.930 So there we go we're just finishing off there and now we can go to the slots and pick slot one and pick 05:24.930 --> 05:31.400 a slot to now they're both the same model but they're dramatically different if I go over to the image 05:31.400 --> 05:35.820 I can just savour out and they're both good well I should really go wrong. 05:35.830 --> 05:42.730 Well cycles and of course the other one will be evey are renamed that before I commit this. 05:42.830 --> 05:44.230 And there we go. 05:44.390 --> 05:46.040 That's looking pretty good. 05:46.040 --> 05:51.710 And we can swap it back to eevee which is also looking really good now there are some things that will 05:51.710 --> 05:53.020 stand out. 05:53.030 --> 05:57.480 Couple of things that stand out straightaway is look at the bottom of the foot here. 05:57.510 --> 06:00.010 I change that over to the slot two. 06:00.090 --> 06:03.330 We see that we get a proper dark shadow around there. 06:03.350 --> 06:06.490 In fact it looks like the whole thing's hovering on this side. 06:06.750 --> 06:13.630 Might have to check that just in case I have lifted it up or even push the ground down that is possible. 06:13.640 --> 06:17.240 But look this has far more detail in the shadows at the moment. 06:18.240 --> 06:20.310 Whereas the evil one does not. 06:20.310 --> 06:28.680 Now that is self-explanatory evey need setting up cycles will just work but eevee is a lot quicker and 06:28.680 --> 06:30.270 cycles is a lot slower. 06:30.270 --> 06:34.560 In general there are ups and downs for both of them at this stage. 06:34.560 --> 06:35.400 Don't worry. 06:35.400 --> 06:38.810 Just go with evey so it's nice and quick and then Light's wrong. 06:38.820 --> 06:44.390 We'll learn the differences that actually do make a difference when you come to rendering out your scene. 06:44.580 --> 06:45.510 But there we go. 06:45.510 --> 06:50.700 I've got my scene fully rendered and I've got on my hard drive. 06:50.760 --> 06:53.310 I've got two pictures you know. 06:53.310 --> 06:58.890 That means I can now share them and we'll find out more about sharing in the next lecture.
