In the last few additions of Rhino WIP I cannot use my GPU for rendering. The rendering process stops after 1st sample and the final result is just a black screen. My sys:
My GPU can handle rendering job in Rhino 5 without any issues. Also I was able to use my GPU in Rhino WIP just few weeks after initial release. Just few updates later it stopped working
You don’t specifically need Raytraced. In Rhino WIP what is called Rhino Render is now driven by the same engine as Raytraced: Cycles. To use the GPU with Rhino Render/Raytraced you need a supported GPU. In Rhino WIP the AMD GPUs are currently not supported.
Have you tested if Rhino Render works better when you set under Tools > Options > Cycles or Preferences > Cycles the render device to CPU ?
I asked Rhino Render, not legacy But good to hear that at least it works with CPU. Also CUDA is not supported on Mac, which I only realized now. And that is because it is very hard to get CUDA working on a recen machine. At least no one in our office has been able to get the one Nvidia Mac machine working with CUDA - the drivers just won’t install. And since it is such a pain to get going CUDA is supposed to be disabled. Not sure how you managed to select the CUDA device to begin with, that is supposed to be not even compiled in. D:
hi nathan,
i’ve not understood if is possible the gpu rendering in cycles inside rhino for mac.
i have a ge force 1080 ti installed on my mac pro that works fine with octane render but is not recognized by rhino mac cycles.
it’s possible to use the new mac pro with cuda for gpu rendering in cycles rhino for mac?
thanks,
roy
I have no access to a functioning Mac with CUDA support. We do have one Mac with an Nvidia GPU in, but despite all efforts we were not able to install CUDA on it. As a result I have not been able to enable or test CUDA GPU support on the Mac for Raytraced.
No idea what the new Mac Pro is, or what its specs are. But the same holds - as long as I don’t have a way to verify CUDA works I cannot enable it.
hi josé,
of course not.
i’m using nvidia drivers with nvidia card that works fine with octane render for modo in osx high sierra but not in rhino for mac.
my second question was about the new mac pro with amd card and cuda drivers to know if this configuration support cycles in rhino for mac,
