Real-time motion blur, bloom, tone mapping, depth of field, and ambient occlusion, temporal anti-aliasing, and screen space reflections are all going to be supported in Eevee’s final release. Remember how everyone freaked out about the Filmic color management recently introduced to Blender? Well, Eevee will support it by default! Post-Processing Effects Eventually, it will support subsurface scattering and clearcoat materials too! Filmic Lighting Support In fact, you can render your Cycles project in Eevee with no more than 3 clicks! Advanced MaterialsĮevee currently supports real-time volumetric materials - an astounding accomplishment this early in the game. You’ll be able to use the Principled Shader in Eevee just as you would in Cycles. Uber ShadersĮevee is directly compatible with Blender 2.79’s Principled Shader. I’ve listed some of my favorite Eevee features below and you can find the full list on Blender’s Eevee Roadmap.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Build It With Eevee This makes progress checks significantly easier and less time consuming.īecause game engines are real-time engines, working with Eevee allows you to begin optimizing your textures and materials before you export to a game engine: if it works in Eevee, it is a better representation of what it will look like in your game engine. Additionally, if you’re working with a client or a team of animators, you can share your progress instantly. Watch your animations as soon as you make themīecause of the great features of Eevee, you won’t need to render out preview animations anymore! Its graphics and performance heavily improve upon the OpenGL system that has been used in the past. Procedural textures can be previewed in real time. With Eevee, you won’t have to wait for your rendered view to catch up with you after every subtle material change: instead, you’ll be able to preview materials instantly.
