# EEVEERender

> The same scene rendered with Blender EEVEE (5.2 engine id 'BLENDER_EEVEE'; the
'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT' id of 4.2-4.4 is gone).

The same scene rendered with Blender EEVEE (5.2 engine id 'BLENDER_EEVEE'; the
'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT' id of 4.2-4.4 is gone). Headless: works in --background after
gpu.init(). Bloom is not an EEVEE option any more in 5.x (use Glow downstream).
