In this tutorial I am going to show you show to run blender version 3 with Cycles X on Google Colab to really speed up your renders. Unlike my previous tutorials, I am going to demonstrate how to install Blender 3.0 to your google drive so you don’t have to download it each time you start Colab.

I’m also going to do a render time comparison between Blender 3 and Blender 2.93 running on Google Colab and my Laptop. My laptop runs a Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card. Blender version 3 with Cycles X on Google Colab was at least 10 times as quick as my laptop!

I’m also going to answer some of the frequently asked questions from my previous two Colab videos.
