Cycles - there is no rendering Rhino Mac - Metal

HugoIII · August 21, 2023, 11:39am

Hello,
with the change of the renderenginge to CyclesX I don’t get any rendering anymore. (MAC Version)
The viewport of the renderpanel shows a full transparent rendering (no matter what channel is activated)

I think this has something to do with my graphics card - the radeonPro 460 and Metal because I seen a significant slowdown in the WIP Version (in 2D Drawings) at the moment of the change to the Metal Interface (normale the 460 should a metal capable Card but one of the first “full metal cards” I think). The Version 7 is way faster in OpenGL mode in 2D drawings but maybe this is an other construction side

But the renderproblem also exists if I change the rendermode to CPU.

Here ist my System:

It seems that these card is just capable of Metal2 and not Metal3 → maybe this is related?!

and maybe it is time for an silicon one

HugoIII · August 22, 2023, 8:31am

in raytraced mode the viewport looks totally fine:
I also seems that these mode use the gpu.

nathanletwory · August 22, 2023, 8:59am

I believe @DavidEranen has a fix for this.

HugoIII · August 22, 2023, 9:18am

I think now I found a related thread:

Joe_Neill · August 22, 2023, 9:55am

Hello HigoIII or Nathan,
I looked at your data and saw nothing that related to my machine. I tried both the CPU and the GPU and got the same result, no image. Can you be more specific as to how your info relates to my machine, I already sent my info in a prior email.
Thanks
Joe

nathanletwory · August 22, 2023, 10:02am

The data point that corresponds between the two is the AMD GPU.

According your system info Rhino 8 WIP renderer Mac not working - #4 by Joe_Neill you both have this issue.

As mentioned @DavidEranen has a fix for this. I imagine it will be available in a next WIP update.

Joe_Neill · August 22, 2023, 11:07am

Hi,
OK, I didn’t understand that the fix was for the next update. I hope it works.
Thanks
Joe

Hello Nathan,
I tried the renderer. For the moment it works but it is not stable. First the lighting of my drawing was not the same as in the rendered view or raytrace and after a test of 150 samples Rhino crashed. Also, when opening the « render properties » window the render category closes and I have to open another category then choose render again to see the parameters. One other thing, why so many changes in the way things are used in relation to R7? Most frustrating.

Joe_Neill · August 23, 2023, 10:19am

Hi Nathan,
I don’t know if you saw the previous email but the lighting problem is me. My apologies.
Best
Joe

Joe_Neill · August 23, 2023, 10:44am

Me again. I tried rendering my drawing, it works, I saved the drawing then a couple of minutes later Rhino crashed.
Joe

Joe_Neill · August 23, 2023, 11:14am

Well Nathan another drawing and another crash. I tried a different drawing to see if the previous one was corrupted but this time Rhino crashed before the rendering was completed. As with the previous draxing I was using final quality at 6000x6000 pixels. I also zoomed in and out to better see the drawing.

Joe

Joe_Neill · August 23, 2023, 12:33pm

Hello again Nathan,
I tried rendering a drawing made with R8 and Rhino did not crash. The other two were drawings in R7. I did not save them in R8 before rendering.

Joe

in my Case (with the WIP from today (203-08-22) - I get a render Output- and the gpu rendering is way faster than the CPU - thank you
