  Only 20% discount, that's how this creator thanks those who already bought his addons by subscription.

  From my point of view, it looks like a lack of respect and recognition and therefore it doesn't deserve that I continue to support him by buying the 2022 version.

  What is more important is the total cost of the upgrade. Currently with the sale and upgrade is only in the high twenties. I believe it is very affordable and great value for a year of updates and improvements. A custom build product like K-Cycles takes a lot work to maintain, update and improve for all the alpha/beta/release versions plus customer support.

  If the list price was in the hundreds of dollars, then I could easily offer 50% upgrade discount cost, but it will be much more expensive upgrade. At this time I prefer to keep as affordable as possible to everyone and still continue working on K-Cycles.

  As I add more features the price of K-Cycles can go up next year, so this is the best time to upgrade.

  This add-on is indeed faster than the current cycles version in many cases, but unfortunately it still has some issues when it comes to transparency, not only in my case but I've been seeing other people reporting issues with transparent materials as well.

  The final results don't look exactly the same as when you prepare the scene or render it with cycles, so you might need to adjust settings and spend some extra time if you want the final result to look the way you prepared the scene in cycles.

  Also the fact that Blender will update cycles to cycles X with rendering time improvements and that this add-on is only free for one year and you will need to pay again for a yearly update makes me rather the opinion that I personally wouldn't recommend buying this add-on, but depending on your needs and priorities it might be worth it, so three stars seems to me like the most neutral way to rate it.

  K-Cycles/X does not have issue with transparency. It is area that K-Cycles does not change at all. K-Cycles/X uses the core Cycles render engine. The core Cycles render in the alpha/beta has had hundreds of bug fixes. As bugs are fixed from the core Cycles render I update new K-Cycles/X with those fixes.

  The default high quality is the same as Cycles render with less noise and higher performance, since K-Cycles/X uses the same Cycles render. K-Cycles/X is very flexible with other performance mode to give user full control.

  Plus their is a great Ultra Denoiser and super Post FX right on the preview render.

  I offer direct customer support for any issue and if not satisfied with K-Cycles a full refund.

  Hello, I was using an rtx 3090 and I had no problems so far, but since then I have invested in a second 3090 but since the K cycle bug, either it crashes or the rendering remains black. Thanks for your help

  After this review was publish the customer contact me for support and using the latest K-Cycles the issue he had was resolve. So K-Cycles has no issue supporting multi graphics card. This issues usually come from the core blender cycles/x not K-Cycles, that is why have their regular updates with all the alpha/beta/release versions.

  It is a new feature only for the new K-CyclesX version check the video. Download the file "K-CyclesX...". The performance improvement, "Ultra Denoiser" and "Post FX" have being very well receive.

  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.

  This customer after this post got quick support and help through Blender Market "Ask a Question". The discord link for K-Cycles channels should be working, but it is not official support.

  does not render my heavy scenes unlike stock cycles and e-cycles, e-cycles crashes sometimes but this one does not work when you are on the edge of your video memory, i hope it can handle big scene in the future. nice perf though with the fastest setting when you smaller scene even with volumetrics.

  I have done many heavy archviz scenes without any problems. The important factor is that it needs enough GPU memory for the scene and textures to fit and render. If their is not enough GPU memory, regular Cycles would run into GPU errors.

  It's slower than default Blender builds.

  In rare cases their can performance issue due system issues. Usually resolved by reinstalling Nvidia driver or resetting the Blender configuration files.
  It is explain in the troubleshooting section of the K-Cycles user guide in addition customer support is available for any K-Cycles issues. Unfortunately Raphael B. did not seek any customer support.

  I regret to buy this... when I bought it 2 years ago they never said I only can use it for 1 year and after I will not be able to have more updates... Very bad attitude :-(

  Free updates and new features are to the end of the year. It is clearly states on the right where the product is selected for purchase. It's also mention in the FAQ section. It is has never being hidden and questions about it answer truthfully.

  K-Cycles is not an add-on is a custom blender build and I believe the only one in Blender Market. Add-ons requires very little or no work to update, since blender python API has small or no changes between blender version updates. Even then many less popular add-ons in Blender Market with lifetime updates stop being updated and don't work anymore due to low new sales and the developer can't work for free.

  K-Cycles custom builds add features not possible with add-ons. The update requires a lot of work their are about 1000's source code changes each new blender version that need to be integrated into K-Cycles. Builds for each platform Windows, Linux and Mac plus the cost of separate hardware. In addition the work of adding new features and support. Just look at my youtube channels and check all the features I added this year.

  I try to make it as affordable as possible for upgrading to the yearly new version of K-Cycles with coupon upgrade and additional extra discounts thought the year.
