Blender Internal render with GPU?

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Hi.

I was rendering a file with Blender Internal, and I saw my CPU was going to 95% of usage.
I have a GPU, but can I use my GPU with Internal? I know there’s a option for cycles, but is it also for internal?

No there isn’t

So… My GPU won’t even help a bit…? :frowning:

And are there maybe any addons to make it possible?

Not for rendering

No there aren’t

As I just said in another thread … is there no way that I could use some kind of node … even a PyNode … to give me access to “OpenGL-style” (GameBlender style) rendering capabilities? In many cases I want to quickly generate a basic result that I can then elaborate-upon in separate operations, e.g. by compositing-onto the quick result. If GameBlender can do this, why can’t I have access to this in a render-node noodle? (Or am I out-of-touch with something that happened underneath my nose?)

can you just render an open GL? I mean, switch to textured view, make sure the viewport is set to GL, then click “render preview”
