K-Cycles
K-Cycles v5
K-Cycles is a custom build of Blender with highly optimized Cycles render engine, ultra lighting, post FX, ultra denoiser, multi-camera render, camera override and realtime viewport lighting and effects for Blender. K-Cycles uses the same configuration, preferences and add-ons as vanilla Blender making it fully compatible. Performance works best at higher render samples and low threshold see performance section below for the performance charts and limitations.
Features include:
- Ultimate rendering performance for viewport and final renders.
- Amazing Ultra Lighting the most powerful and complete lighting features for Cycles.
- Ultra Denoiser with the latest Intel denoiser technology and multi pass for clean and super sharp images.
- New Ultra Denoiser with GPU with a huge performance speed up.
- Ultra Denoiser works inside Blender without needing the compositor and has great performance avoiding complicated compositor nodes.
- Animation Denoiser uses the latest OptiX temporal denoising to improve animation render times.
- Even faster renders using intelligent scene and settings optimizations preset modes with higher K-Cycles performance while still maintaining good image quality.
- Amazing viewport Ultra Lighting, Post FX including BLOOM effects, FLARES with glare, anamorphic and ghosts, Tone Mapping and Lens effects that elevates your art to the next level.
- Camera mode/override for Ultra Lighting, Post FX and Output Resolution.
- Render Cameras for rendering individual cameras to the image editor or to automatically save file render.
- All K-Cycles the Post FX effects are animation ready with all the settings fully keyable and with previews on the viewport.
- The K-Cycles Ultra Lighting, Post FX effects can be done in the viewport or final render both in GPU or CPU.
- Cycles image quality with less render noise.
- Fully compatible with Cycles and all Blender addons.
- Regular stable release and alpha builds updates with the latest features from the Blender.
- Easy to use without the need of changing Cycles settings for fast performance.
Installation:
- Unpack the K-Cycles in any desired location.
- Create a desktop shortcut or run directly the ”blender.exe”.
Setup:
1. Install the latest Nvidia drivers and reboot the computer.
2. Go to Edit->Preferences->System->Device select “OptiX”. Turning off the CPU usually gives better performance.
3. Under “Render Properties” select the “Cycles” render engine.
4. Select “GPU Compute” device.
