AMD Gpu. Best solution?

mzxrae

Hey,

I recently started with DAZ and after 1 Week I realised that its not using my Gpu (rx vega 56) for rendering ;) My R 5 2600 with 16gb ram needs up to 1 hour for a scene with 2 Characters and 2 Light sources and im not even rendering in Fhd... 

I have read that you can export scenes to blender and in there you can render with amd Gpus but then I would have to learn blender... So my question is if anyone who uses an Amd gpu could tell me his solution to this problem. Buying a Nvidea gpu isnt a solution for me right now (you all know why I guess ;)

Sorry but the news for you is pretty bad. IRay is developed by NVidia and requires an NVidia GPU. 

I would suggest that your best bet is to go the Blender route and try to get to grips with one or both of the Bridge add-ons discussed in the Blender sub-forum here on this site.

I tried using the diffeomorphic daz importer and its working really good but when Im not really sure wich render engine I have to use. I tried with cycles and Radeon Prorender but the results look really weird with dark spots all over the characters... I read that you have to change some materials but since Im really new to 3d stuff and I dont really know what Im doing I dont know what to change... Does someone know what I have to change?

In Blender, you render using the cycles (GPUnot CPU cycles) render in the render subsection but beforehand you have to enable GPU render in Blender perferences. 

Or, in DAZ, if you just render overnight before you go to bed and leave it run until the next time you want to make a scene. Check the lighting beforehand though by rendering tiny, at 320x240 or 640x480 is enough and when satisfied enlarge the render size and render overnight.

I feel exporting to Blender is not worth the effort, time, and disk space unless you are going to create animations.

Thanks. I think thats the best solution for now. Hopefully the Gpu market will be normal again soon so I can switch...
