The Blenderguru video is not safe to watch if you are hungry :biggrin:

Quote - Materials do have to be made just for Cycles

...as it happens with any rendering engine.

Interesting background tale: the guy who is developing Cycles (Brecht) stopped contributing to Blender and went to work for Refractive Software (Octane). After less than a year, suddenly, without any explanation, he left Refractive and went back home. No explanation about the reasons of the breakup came from any of the involved parties.

A few months later, Cycles is announced. An unbiased renderer, like Octane. Free as speech and as beer, unlike Octane.

On Blenderartists forum there has been a few speculations about the story and... well, I love the smell of revenge in the morning. At least, it (revenge) guarantees unfaltering commitment.

Bye.
