This was rendered in Cycles. I almost always use Cycles because I find it easier to work with and more realistic, but I also have a pretty powerful machine so I get why a lot of people prefer Eevee’s software rendering.
I have a nice ryzen gpu so I can render in cycles but I never can figure out the lighting. Eevee gives a cartoon-ish look that i find cool sometimes but usually I can’t figure out how to do it.
Cycles lighting is interesting to work with for sure… it does take some time, but you can get good at it if you try!
The few renders I’ve done (I do have access to computers occasionally) have been in cycles, and one took 3 days. I should try eevee next.
I've been meaning to get around to learning Eevee shaders, but just haven't had the time.
