- [Instructor] If there is one thing that render artists love to hate, it is that they can now create their renders in even shorter timeframes than ever before, and without having to purchase any extra, and potentially expensive, new pieces of hardware, which is why the new hybrid rendering option that can be found in V-Ray 3.6 is good news all around. Better still is the fact that it doesn't even require any special drivers to be added to our machines, even though it does mean that we can now use the CPU as a coder based computing device. Something that could only previously be accomplished by having an Nvidia GPU with drivers installed. And indeed, this particular rendering mode can even be enabled on computers that don't have any GPUs installed, theoretically providing a coder based speed up in V-Ray on CPU based render nodes all at the same time. And of course, the hybrid engine when running on a CPU does support all of the same features as the regular coder based GPU render…
