 EEVEE materials are created using the same shader nodes as Cycles, making it easy to render existing
 scenes. For Cycles users, this makes EEVEE work great for previewing materials in realtime.
 
-EEVEE is a based on rasterization and not (like Cycles) a path traced render engine.

+Instead of computing each ray of light, EEVEE uses a process called rasterization to determine what

 While EEVEE is designed to use :abbr:`PBR (Physically Based Rendering)` principles,
 it is not perfect and Cycles will always provide more physically accurate renders.
