Hi riley i have a question and wanted to ask you. I chose optix in preferences and chose my gpu and the weird thing is, in cycles in the viewport its using my gpu but when i render it's using the cpu. I want it to use the gpu too and i searched and just cant find a solution.
I would personally go with the 4060, just because it’s a more recent generation and probably performs better than the 3060, but really it’s personal preference, they will both work AWSOME for Blender and your Renders going to be smooth either way you go.
Try messing around with the resolution of the Liquid Sim in the Domain settings, the higher it is the more detail you will get, sometime bringing it down could also help
Only if you want to change the simulation itself, you won’t need to re-bake for other things like Materials or anything outside the simulation. Hope this Helps!
Yeah…same, at this level there bound to be a lot of lag, turning up your sample count in the Render settings does help to combat this, unfortunately Blender isn’t really good at optimisation on liquid sims yet.
