Figure 6.1 - Render engine selector

By default, you will always start with Eevee as the main render engine,

but you can change to Cycles.

Should you choose Eevee or Cycles for rendering? That depends on

your main objective for a project. Here is a quick summary between

them:

Cycles: Easier to set up and get realistic results, but might require

several minutes or hours to get a finished image.

Eevee: Deliver results in real-time but will not get the same level of

realism from Cycles, and requires some pre-processing work to

display good looking images.
