What's the actual difference between blender eevee and blender?

[peanut]

I don't get it..

I may have to be corrected here but I believe it can be explained like this...

Eevee is a render engine (like I-ray) it is a separate part of Blender. Blender 2.79 has 2 render engines, Blender Render and Cycles Render. Eevee is the next step up from the Cycles render engine.

Ok, so I heard in new major update Blender 2.8 got the eevee engine imported by default?

Eevee is NOT "the next step up from Cycles". Eevee is a realtime rendering engine (think Unreal) while Cycles is a physics based one. Meaning Eevee is a lot faster and great for previewing or quick results while Cycles is still the one to go to for production renders or generally for realism.
Based on your preference, of course, you can also get good results with Eevee, not trying to make it sound bad.
The important thing is that both use the same materials, so you can quickly switch between them.

And yes, 2.8 will have Eevee (already has, you can download the beta any time). It will not have the old Blender Render engine anymore.

Thanks for better explaining!

Renderer - that is more or less what I meant by "next step up", it is a new render engine and it is different from the Blender and Cycles renders. It's a new addition to Blender.

What you wrote sounded like Eevee superseding Cycles ("next step *up* from Cycles"), which is not the case, so I wanted to clarify for OP. I know that *you* know what Eevee is. :)

[Pte Jack]

Yeah, I see your point, I guess I should have said, "next in the evolution of render engines for Blender LIKE the Blender and Cycles Render engines"

[Chiki]

Oh no the old render engine will disappear!?
Little scared of that but eevee sounds really nice and i hope it will help with more with cartoony directions of art

The beauty of Blender is that you can always go backwards if you want to. The older versions are always available for those who are afraid to or don't want to move forward.
