Which render engine should you choose between Octane for Blender, Cycles, and E-Cycles?

You can find E-Cycles here:

*Edit: E-Cycles is full price the first time you buy it, but each year after that, you get it 1/2 off.

In this video, hopefully, I can give you some insight into the pros and cons of each of these render engines, and give some direction on what might be the best for you.

There is no one size fits all option, and you will likely end up using a combination of render engines, based on what you need to do.
