>Oh, looks like virtually no one fits the bill of being self-taught then.

i never said that. To learn stuff I learn the basics through someone else then when i get to advanced stuff there are no tuts for that because of NDAs and stuff so you're forced to make up your own shit

>Nah, it still counts. Self-teaching just refers to seeking out information on your own initiative. You aren't being actively mentored by anyone, and you're learning simply because you want to. That's being self-taught.
thats not how it works. If you dont watch tutorials, you are self taught. If you pirate tutorials or watch tutorials you are taking someone elses work (usually a professional teacher) and using them to shape you. Everyone knows this. Everyone in the teaching world acknowledges this

if you learn from a tutor on youtube, skillSHARE, or udemy you arent self taught .

Having made tutorial videos myself you put a shitload of hours into making them for OTHER PPL

that wasnt the thing in question. Everything is publically available on a github open source project. You pulled the rug out from under us - the fact is the only way to get random walk sss in principled node by default is to get 2.8 or go to some murky backwater experimental build.

And, the truth is, having checked Gleb's youtube he does in fact use 2.8. He has over 3 videos of him exclusively using 2.8 and doing tuts on it so whoop de fucking doo

jesus dude how desperate can you get

>>651234
interesting.

This is what the node editor for principled bsdf looks like from a brand new copy of blender 2.79 downloaded from the website a few days ago.

So i take it you're using a custom build and now trying to pull some ruse on us

>>651017
it runs fine on my 750ti.

2.8 seems like its pretty far away still..yeah?

Turns out Blenderseed sucks ass. Terrible integration in 2.79. (doesnt work in 2.8)

In 2.8 Randomwalk is fast and denoising is great. I rendered and denoised this in about 20 seconds.

I downloaded Blendseed but there are no tuts on how to enable Live Preview.

No magic is happening in the viewport. What do, lads?

I want a sick still image like >>650483 or >>650491

>>650486
>I mean, SSS across the board is just the same algorithms and techniques
random walk sounds...shall we say...inefficent

this is from a few years back from an article on what they used to render in a superhero movie. Never seen cycles match this quality or even get close.

...will the sss in prman 22 look better than this appleseed render? What I care about the most is sss, glass transparency reflection / refraction, and area lights.

I dont really need caustics.

How much better is prman to appleseed with my limited hardware? I have 16gb ram

>>650474
>dont even bother

are you saying this in regards to rendering animations on the CPU? This would be stills, animations would have to be realtime in a game engine at game engine quality unfortunately

>>650471
ethically, i want something free as in freedom.

How is cycles CPU version?

I have a 8700k non overclocked. My gpu is a 750ti and i have no money to upgrade it to anything else. Lets chat about CPU renderers itt so I can make the most of what little I have.

I rendered this with the free renderer Mitsuba about 6 months ago on the 8700k, took about 10 min.
