Tutorial Summary

    EEVEE Next is the next big update to the EEVEE render engine in Blender. One of the big updates is the inclusion of Screen Space Ray-tracing.

    My thoughts on this update are mixed. While it is definitely a step in the right direction. The quality and the fact that it is still screen space is a disappointment.

    The biggest pro to the update is that you no longer have to jump through many menus to get bounce lighting or screen space refractions. Instead, it is now a single button click.

    While I am excited for where these developments may take us into the future - Eevee still has a way to go before it can reach that potential.

    It is still one of the better real-time render systems out there, but pales in some regards to the likes of Lumen. And with Redshift RT and Octane Brigade (Allegedly) releasing to full versions in the coming years, Eevee may be relegated to hobbyists only or people working with Cycles previews.

    I do hope that the Blender Foundation invests more into the Realtime approach.

    About the Author

    Hello there, Blendertutorials story begins with an idea. An idea to make learning 3D more accessible and easy. There are a lot of great tutorials out there, but very few that truly have the scope or the functions of blender tutorials. My aim with this site was to create something unique, that may help people achieve their dreams with 3D. Despite the name blender tutorials and myself using the software for near on 15 years, I don't like to consider myself a Blender Artist, rather I am a story teller first and foremost. I believe Blender is a tool and it should be used in conjunction with other tools. It is for this reason that I teach you from the perceptive of a technical storyteller not a Blender Artist. And I feel that that is a defining feature of Blender Tutorials. Yes, we look at the technical side of 3D art through the lens of Blender. But it is all in service of telling a story. It has been such a journey to try and create this service. When I started. I had only limited knowledge of creating websites. Now... well... I am quite happy with the outcome. I have learnt so much on this journey from myself and from all of you that join me on it. Thank you so much for making blender tutorials apart of your learning!
