ProRender - New Free Renderer for Rhino by AMD

Yes…it’s actually a collaboration between AMD and a part of the McNeel Dec team.

Sussing-out which card(s) are compatible isn’t clear, seeming because ProRender ‘works’ (fairly well on Macs, comparatively) across a wide swath of HW/SW. See list here:

If we’re defining ‘works’ as best available hardware accelerated ray tracing (for your Mac that is) review this:

Also, these guys attempted some benchmarks with a bunch of cards.

As for what specifically the Rhino plugin for Mac supports (everything or a subset, eGPUs, etc?) - that’s a question for others…

Thanks all!

Did you find out any more info on this avenue? I’m trying to get a solid answer on the same setup you have, and only need acceleration for standard CAD work — don’t really care about rendering, at all.

I just need to model parts that have hundreds or small models connected to it. A 300MB file is normal, and CPU display modes make this almost impossible outside of wireframe. If I can get an eGPU to take on this load, then I’m all set.

Hello, I am attempting to install this plugin for Rhino 6 however i keep receiving this error.

rhino 7 only

Hi. Can you tell me where the prorender for rhino 7 is available? The mentioned link opens only 404 page.

If you scroll down on their site you won’t see Rhino listed:
So I guess it is discontinued.

Hi -

Run the Rhino PackageManager and look for ProRender.

I don’t think it ever was listed on that page…

Thank you. I didn’n think about PackageManager. Now it’s installed and works
