Workbench

Switch to Rendered Shading with the Workbench render engine (= Solid Shading engine). This replicates your Solid Shading Preset but in Rendered Shading, making it possible to render your scene with non-realistic shaders.

Solid Shading

Switch to Solid Shading with a quick access to a selection of presets.

Solid Shading presets

• Default: Blender's default Viewport Shading settings
  
  

• Cell: flat colors set to material so it detects your materials viewport colours with shadows enabled - very powerful in Workbench Rendered with the compositor enabled.

  • Unify colors (only visible with the Cell Preset selected): detect all your material colors in your scene, sort them in a limited range of primary colours, and apply those colours to your material's viewport display colors, simplifying your scene's colours for a more balanced look
    
    

• AAlias1s most famous shaders
  
  

• Red 1, Red 2, Fuel: other hard surface friendly shaders
  
  

• Clown: similar to Keyshot's Clown pass. Use this preset in Workbench Rendered to render a high-resolution Clown pass of your scene.
  
  

• Normal: use this to create normal maps
  
  

• User 1: customizable user profile. To set it up, set the settings of your choice via the Viewport Shading Panel, then click "Sync to User".

  
  
  

HDRI

• Built-in/World: Switch between built-in HDRI and World

• Sync: Syncs the selected built-in HDRI to your scene’s World. Keep in mind: while the “Sync Built-in to World” setting is scene-specific, the synced World itself is shared across all synced scenes. So, changing the built-in HDRI in Scene A will also update the World in every other synced scene. This behavior comes from how Blender handles built-in HDRIs globally.
