You can use it for offline rendering as well, and this sort of thing has 
gotten more popular in recent years.

Similar goes for the use of consumer grade graphics cards and game 
engines for CGI in TV shows. For example, for season 6, Miraculous 
Ladybug is going over to the using of the Unreal Engine to render the TV 
show.

Though, unclear in these cases whether the backend rendering API would 
be OpenGL, DirectX, or Vulkan.
