"MAXON, the leading developer of professional 3D modeling, animation, painting and rendering solutions, today announced MAXON and AMD have reached a licensing agreement for the use of AMD’s Radeon ProRender technology in MAXON’s powerful and intuitive Cinema 4D application. Radeon ProRender’s physically-based GPU rendering engine is built on platform-agnostic OpenCL architecture and will provide outstanding performance on both macOS and Windows."

I think it's great news.

Much like NVIDIA's iRay, ProRender is not a very impressive renderer. :)

So no use at all? Thought from a dev point of view things would be a bit easier to implement if C4D has native AMD GPU driver OpenCL support built in already.
Meh...anyways sorry wasting your time. :lol: 8)

Don't know, would have to ask the devs. :) Maybe people will take prorender more seriously now though. :)
