    My experience with K Cycles was that it did not decrease render times. Eric has refused to give me a refund after 6 days of waiting.

      Sorry about the lack of communication. Unfortunatly their was system reset in the BlenderMarket which disable all my customer support email notifcation and I missed your initial K-Cycles issue. This rare K-Cycles performance issue can happen initially and usually is resolve with updating or reinstalling the latest Nvidia driver and rebooting the computer and/or resetting the Blender configuration files.

    This is an exceptional addon!
    The renderings are really much faster. Different types of rendering are offered, from the fastest to the most qualitative. Even the most qualitative is faster than what Cycles vanilla offered me before. In short, quality and time savings guaranteed!
    And in addition it works wonderfully on AMD graphics cards!!
    The management of lights and light groups is also very practical.
    Performance and practicality!
    Thanks to the developer ;-)

    This is a really invaluable resource for getting photoreal materials fast for concept and illustrations purposes. I've found it to be a particularly good fit for hard surface game asset design where you can turn around different looks in preproduction very quickly without the need to build a bunch of materials from scratch.
    Tools like this are going to come more into their own all the time as 3d makes greater inroads into concept art all the time. I do wish there was some sort of publisher showcase where artist could show the possibilities of Sanctus.

    The tools and performance of the Engine with the right settings can be a really game changer. The post FX is really solid, the UD is a beauty, just make sure to find the best driver card so you can enjoy of this Cycles at Max!

    It was a good add-on, had the real-time compositor and it was somewhat faster, but It has stop development on 4.03

      Development has not stop at all it continues with many new features including performance added for 2024 version as can been seen in the product marketing page. In addition to K-Cycles 4.03, 4.10 and the 4.20 was release only a few days after the official release from Blender 4.20.

    seen some negative thoughts on this so leaving 5 stars. I was having some bla's with it, but thats alot of me being a novice if anything, with that being said the team got back to me and gave me all the big tips right in my blender holes and helped point me in the right direction. its a cool bit of kit, I'd take it home and introduce it to my parents if I could. top notch. great customer support even if I got shoouted at for asking aboot rendering.

    I have been using K-Cycles since a week after using Blender. It is my go to version. Updates are quick with official releases and nothing beats having effects in the view port.

    This tool is invaluable, it is incredibly easy to set up and use. You can create a project in vanilla Blender and then open it in K-Cycles and all of your addons and startup settings will automatically carry over. As mentioned by others, it is an annual subscription if you want to keep up to date with the latest versions of blender while using it, but it is so worth it. K-Cycles turned a 6 minute per frame 1 week render into a 30 second per frame 7 hour render. It didn't just speed up my render, but the sample and denoising quality also went up drastically relative to vanilla cycles denoising. I am in awe. I had a render issue and i thought it was kcycles, but it was actually a shader user error on my part and the dev promptly ran through my project and found the issue very quickly. I will be returning to buy the next version in 2025 I strongly recommend this tool.

    This add-on will be of great benefit.
    I hope they continue to upgrade it in the future.
    There was one odd spot where the volume and fog stopped working properly.
    It was rendering at first, but one day it turned out differently.
    It's our fault, and I don't know why, but other than that, I wouldn't touch Blender without it.

    "users can use upgrade code "upgrade2024" (Extra 25% off) discount", I know that at this moment it already has a discount, but does this not apply to previous purchases? I have the 2023 version and that extra discount was not applied as the publication says.

      It is not a K-Cycles issue Blender Market disables coupon codes for all products during their sales events.

      K-Cycles has it's own sales a few time a year usually with new blender releases in which upgrade coupon will give the customers additional discount. Emails will be send to all customers to take advantage of this special sales.
