Rendering and Beyond

Blender comes with a powerful unbiased rendering engine that offers stunning ultra-realistic rendering.

Cycles is Blender’s ray-trace based production render engine.

Bump and normal maps

FreeStyle is an edge- and line-based non-photorealistic (NPR) rendering engine. It relies on mesh data and z-depth information to draw lines on selected edge types. Various line styles can be added to produce artistic (“hand drawn”, “painted”, etc.) or technical (hard line) looks.

Thanks to the new EEVEE engine, the gap between offline and real-time rendering is being bridged! Previsualize Cycles shading with great accuracy in real time, in the viewport, and significantly speed up the shading and texturing process.
