hellos, i am wondering if anybody knows a render engine that works with amd gpus? i made the mistake of purchasing one without having read before that cycles doesnt have more than 3 features that work with opencl :confused: or do any of you know if someone is working on making amd cards usable with cycles? i have very heavy scenes to render, and i have to use my slow cpu because i dont have an nvidia card, and the time it takes is way too much, even after optimising geometry as much as i can.

if anyone knows, please let me know, id be really thankful as for the last couple of days i havent found anything!

thank you!

From top of my head…

Look here… and around, a thread with the xmass experimental build - openCL for AMD.

Lux Renderer, open source rendering engine - openCL, works with AMD cards. Check their forums or look for threads here.

Indigo Renderer 4 (beta), is also great open CL render engine. Latest 4.0.47 available here.

Radeon ProRender thread here.

thank you! i’m trying luxrender right now, a couple of issues converting from cycles scene to lux, but i think i can work it out, or try the others!

thanks again, very helpful! :slight_smile:
