How do you use V-Ray / V-Ray Next?

[Alex Glawion]

V-Ray plugs into a lot of different Software and the features aren't always the same across all of the plug-in versions. I know V-Ray from back in the days when it was developed for Cinema 4D by a third-party ("VRAYforC4D") and it seemed to get most of the features a lot later than the official chaosgroup versions.

So what I was wondering, is:
- What 3D Package are you using
- What version of V-Ray are you using
- Does your V-Ray Version support CPU, GPU, Hybrid Rendering?
- What Render Mode do you use (cpu, gpu or hybrid) and why?

Thanks!
