Guitar knobs turning, jittered depth of field, rendered in Eevee with raytracing on. Trying to see how close I can get to that Cycles-style DOF without the Cycles wait times.

This test landed way closer than expected; good sign for faster turnarounds on close-up shots like this.

Getting Cycles-style depth of field out of Eevee with raytracing is exactly the kind of workflow hack more people should be talking about. What's your typical render time on a shot like this compared to what Cycles would've taken?

Yeah, it's a big win here: 0.43s vs 17s per frame, so roughly 40x faster with Eevee Next's raytracing. That's actually beating most community benchmarks I've seen (usually ~14x), probably because this scene's DOF/reflections play right into what Eevee Next approximates cheaply.

Love seeing these kinds of workflow optimizations. Faster iterations without sacrificing quality are always a win.

Forty times faster is wild, especially for a scene built around depth of field and reflections. Does that gap hold once you push resolution and samples higher, or was this the sweet spot for Eevee Next?

Getting close to Cycles-style DOF in Eevee without the render times is the kind of workflow win that actually changes how many revisions you can offer a client. What raytracing settings ended up making the biggest difference?

I spent the last week challenging myself to design, brand and 3D model a minimal supplement. I experimented with compositing nodes to add a blur in some renders, which one do y'all like more?

It's finally here ! I recreated my favourite Google motion graphics. I watched their google vids video about a year ago and always wanted to mimic it to reach that level. Sotfwares used: After effects and Blender #google #motiongraphics #3D #aftereffects #blender
