Am I understanding correctly that I will get 2 months of updates if I buy today but the whole of next year if I buy in January?

Hi,
E-Cycles 2020 indeed will be updated until 30th of December. All E-Cycles 2020 users get a coupon to upgrade to 2021 with 50% off. So in fact by buying now during the sales, you can get E-Cycles 2020+2021 for the price of 2021 alone.

I like your spin on it. Thanks.

I tried the E_cycles_2.83.8_v20201014_win_rtx just now and cycles is missing. Not sure if it’s an error on my part. Any troubleshooting tips I can try?

Thank you!

I just want to add that if I run E_cycles_2.83.6_v20200904_win_rtx the cycles engine is there.

Thank you,

Hey Mathieu.
Do I need to upgrade now to get the 2021 50% discount or will there be a discount later again?

Cheers Dave

Hi Jose,
thanks for the report, the 20201016 version of 2.83.8 fixes your issue :slight_smile:
Kind regards,
Mathieu

Thanks for the heads up Robert! I’m happy E-Cycles 2.90 now also works on your Tesla cards. 6 seconds for the Classroom is very fast indeed :slight_smile:

Hiya, is the sale for 2020 still on or did i just miss it :frowning:

3737

Hiya, the E-Cycles sales are finished since yesterday. But there will probably be some Blender Market sales during BConf (in about 2 weeks) and I would then participate :slight_smile:

New builds of E-Cycles 2.91 alphas are available!

If you like historical reconstructions and/or gorgeous nebulaes, I recommend to watch some of those animations rendered with E-Cycles:

Good day,
Is there a reset for the light groups? So that when playing with a scene, lights can be changed and the denoising info be changed.
Thanks.
Robert

Good day Robert,

You can apply the light group settings. It will automatically use the AI-Denoiser if the denoise option was ticked in your light groups panel. If you are looking for a solution to quickly set all strength to 1 and colors to pure white, there is no button for that yet. Is that what you are looking for?

Kind regards,
Mathieu

No. Mine is the ‘bad user’ need: As I have played with the lightgroups, I keep forgetting to go into nodes to work with them. To that end, I get a light group node that has multiple entries of the same or different groups I may have gone through.
That is to say, it gets ugly.
I would like to be able to reset the light node group to the collections I have now; I want the old one destroyed and a new one built, not appended to.
(Type enough and I can figure out how to say it. lol)
