This latest release (8) has come on leaps and bounds. I'll now try 8x iterations time, but I doubt it can make it on bar with egular CPU render with traditional C4D engine.Īs far GPU Render Engines go, Lumion is a great solution i think (Windows only). Thank You for taking part in the accelerating game of rendering engines, AMD and Maxon. I would want to see this new render engine thing updated and maintained. It's gonna take something likemaybe a half an hour, and then I will know. I've got a mid-sized swimming hall indoor view going right now with ProRender.
LUMION 8 GPU HOW TO
I am sure there are some geniouses out there who will a little bit later explain for us how to use this new engine properly and efficiently. This renderer is called physically based. To mention one, GeekBench openCL test can give you a hunch with your performance with ProRender.ĪrchiCAD materials imported to C4D do not seem to render exactly as they should with ProRender.
LUMION 8 GPU SOFTWARE
There is no benching software for this yet with C4D, but I think openCL is the key with AMD Radeon ProRender here. Maybe it gets support later, I don't know. And in a Mac, my nVidia GTX 1060 does not compute with Cinema 4D. I've got couple of other cards too, but thats my main contender now. I've got a RX 570 now in my older Mac Pro.
But I hope it gets enough development resources to be a contender in the render engine fight. It seems to be in an early state as of now. It's a new and as I read it, a free GPU renderer. I am experimenting with Cinema 4D Radeon ProRender right now. I see that Revit has improved integration for Maxwell plug-in with the FIRE preview window like we have with the ArchiCAD plug-in.Īnyone know if there is a Maxwell 4.1 plug-in for ArchiCAD 21 yet? I am not sure if CineRender can use X-Rite AxF MATERIALS, REAL-IES files. Also, the quality of materials/textures I have available for use in Maxwell is better - I think. I like to manage the textures in Maxwell Studio better than with CineRender. Not the best option always but is works fine for me most of the time.
However, it's a problem sometimes that the plug-in is not available for the current version of ArchiCAD. There is a nice Maxwell plug-in for ArchiCAD. I can take advantage of my GPU CUDA cores with Maxwell, but not with CineRender. ? Also, the speed I can generate renderings using my small skill set is much faster with Maxwell. It depends on the necessary end results I suppose. I think it takes a smaller skill set for me to get adequate results from Maxwell Render. Not that CineRender is inadequate, it's just that I don't know how to use it well enough to get the best out of it. I use Maxwell Render when I need to be the best quality rendering I am able to make.
