      Hi, wonderful video ! Could it be possible to get the test file with the tree ? It could seem stupid but i find that the backgroung colors (light grey + light green from the tree) + "white lighting" is very attractive. I tried to do mine but i can't manage to get the same effects ! Best. Francis

      @@KaizenTutorials I'm not blaming you, it's not your fault, but rather the complexity of the problem itself. However, increasing the noise threshold this much significantly reduces the quality of the image (as can be seen in the grass in the shade) and introduces extremely visible artifacts due to non-temporal denoising. Also, reducing the max bounce to 1 completely kills the global illumination and destroys the lifelike appealing of the image. I simply do not believe that the proposed one is a workable solution. Sure, you get an image out in 1/50th of the time, but that image is useless garbage. At that point you should rather use a non path tracing render engine, such as Eevee or Unreal, the latter being realtime and producing stunning images. Sawing off Cycles' legs is not the right anwers, it's a path that leads to trash images

    One thing that was not mentioned: Go to SOLID VIEV in 3D Viewport when You start rendering. I sometimes catch myself on keeping Rendered View while rendering. That slows render time alot especially in animations.

    • @KaizenTutorials

    Something to note about Noise Threshold: if you have a clean daylight scene like the example, you can really go wild with it. But if you have any kind of higher key/darker shadows or just a lower light scene, increasing Noise Threshold is gonna kick your ass pretty quick. If your scene is fairly dark, even going from 0.01 to 0.05 could end up giving you horrible results. So keep that in mind.
    And remember, even if a single image has blotches subtle enough you think you can live with them, NONE of Blender's denoising options are temporal, so those "subtle" blotches are gonna get kind of obvious the moment you render an animation.

    • @KaizenTutorials
      @KaizenTutorials  Рік тому +11

      I don't think this is necessarily a noise threshold issue, but more of a denoiser issue. Once we get better temporal denoising, this should fix (or at least improve) this issue. But yeah all things considered using less samples (or a higher noise threshold) is always rough on darker scenes.

    • @z-beeblebrox
      @z-beeblebrox Рік тому +18

      For night scenes, you can put the threshold at 1.0 and double your resolution. Unless you have insane details that could potentially cause artefacts.
      It's a three component trick anyway: noise threshold + sample count + resolution to denoise. It's faster to shrink a render from a high resolution that denoising a small image with many details.
      As always, test yourself. Blender will stop rendering a pixel at the first limit reached (sample or noise threshold).
      Larger is the image, easier it is to not care about noise threshold.

    Couple more ideas:
    Close Blender and render via command line. Will free up some GPU cycles and memory from not displaying Blender, especially if you have a busy viewport open.
    Learn to use the Light Paths node to take shortcuts through some objects. For example, using the Shadow Ray output on volumetrics or refractive objects to swap in a Transparent shader to let Shadow Rays through unimpeded.

    Recap for those that want to use these settings in the future and want to copy paste in their notes
    1. Make sure you use GPU Compute in your Render Properties tab (assuming you have a decent Graphics Card) & in your blender Preferences > System, make sure you're using your GPU.
    + additional note in my personal experience, sometime turning OFF your CPU completely and only rendering with your GPU instead of both can be faster (i have a 3080ti and a 5950x and this surprised me because I've never seen people discuss how using only GPU instead of both can be faster)
    2. Increase noise threshold for the render (from 0.01 to 0.1 or 0.5) this makes the biggest difference out of all the settings but might reduce final image quality depending on how high you sent the value
    3. in Render Properties > Light Paths, reduce max bounces for all (may reduces light bounce quality and only speeds up render a little bit)
    4. in Render Properties > Performance > Acceleration Structure, if you have enough ram, turn ON "use curves bvh" and turn OFF "use compact bvh"
    5. in Render Properties > Performance > Final Render, turn ON persistent data
    6. (this one might actually increase render time so maybe don't use this tip lmao) World settings > Settings > Surface, decrease map resolution from 1024 to 512 (again this might make render speed worse so test and see what works for your scene)
    7. in Render Properties > Light Paths > turn ON "Fast GI approximations" (will reduce light bounce accuracy and can can change how the final render lighting will look)
    Nothing is free in life so all those combined can and will reduce your render quality in exchange for render speed (example of before and after at 11:25)

      I have a 5600X and a (just bought) 3060 12GiB. Tested the GPU with Blender too - and found out the same: it is MUCH faster using only GPU render. With both CPU and GPU the thing gets quite slower.

    @ajtatosmano2 Рік тому +26

    If your scene is too dark after these settings, you can change it in post production or increase the light paths. With trasparent materials like glass, you can increase the relevant bounces to get rid of artefacts.

    • @KaizenTutorials
      @KaizenTutorials  Рік тому +6

      Yes, exactly! Always fit the Light Path Bounces to your scene. If you need more bounces, definitely use them. It would be a waste to create something awesome and for it to look ugly just to save a bit of time on rendering!

      The biggest performance boost for my renders was switching to Linux. I'm not sure what's running in the background of windows but while doing 2000 frames animations it adds up! Linux runs super stable (I hadn't ANY crashes yet, which is awesome) and pretty fast as well. With the exact same settings and hardware I could reduce the render time from 1min and 35 sec to 38 sec. With the exact same render settings (migrated project file). That's huge!

    It should be added that rendering an animation with little sample (Or a large noise treshold) along with a denoiser will cause artifacts like flickering. There'sa new temporal OptiX denoiser that makes the flickering almost a thing of the past. I'd recommend to look into it if any of you want to render an animation with cycles.

    • @mrlightwriter
      @mrlightwriter Рік тому +1

      I wholeheartedly agree with you. Nevertheless, for interior animations I recommend starting with 4096 samples and 0.01 Noise Threshold and decreasing this last value until it looks right. There's no magic bullet...

    If your Light Passes are set to only a total of 1 it doesn't matter if your Transmission and Transparency are at 2, you will only get one rendered Light Pass. The total should be equal to the highest number of passes, in your case- 2.

    • @KaizenTutorials

      Yes! I added a text frame explaining this. I did change it in the render but apparently didn’t record that, so that’s why I had to add the text frame. Thanks for bringing extra attention to it since it is important to know though! 🙏🏻

    In your tip with the Noise Threshold, you lost a lot of detail in the grass. Probably not a problem in an animation, but I would very much prefer the first image as a still. But, as you told already, the artist has to choose which compromises are worth it.

    • @axe_fx
      @axe_fx Рік тому +1

      just decrease the threshold much lower then, 0.001 or 0.0001

    • @mrlightwriter
      @mrlightwriter Рік тому +4

      Actually, increasing the Noise Threshold as a major impact in animation quality. Unfortunately, values like 0.01 and lower are needed to avoid excessive noise reduction artifacts (woobling) in animations.

      Good question! As far as I know ALL versions of Blender, up from 3.0, come with Cycles X. Cycles X was just a complete rewrite of the render engine, making it tons faster. So using any of the newer Blender builds will automatically give you access to this newer version of Cycles. :-)

    • @KaizenTutorials
      @KaizenTutorials  Рік тому +2

      Well the Windows task manager is not really a good tool for monitoring your hardware. Please try to use a tool created by the manufacturer of your GPU. For example I use Aorus Engine, since I have a Gigabyte GPU.
      If then still you’re using 100%, you’ll have to lower the specs on your render settings and maybe texture quality, scene polygons etc.
      Hope that helps!

    Learn about creating linked scenes layer. Where you can Render the character,mesh,prop,world,etc.. in different samples or Render engine (Eevee Useful for Transparent Bloom).
