Support Lighting and Rendering
#1

As you read in the title, is there anyone who got Cycles works with Linux Mint or another Linux distro?
If yes please let me know, i hate windows and i don’t want to use windows only for rendering! Thanks

Many linux user use cycles, me too.
You need the latest driver from nvidia, the nvidia toolkit 4.0 and a new nvidia GPU (Compute Capability > 1.3).



The 4.1 toolkit is buggy and slows down cycles. The 4.2 is on the way.
Take the latest build from buildbot:
