When it comes to photorealistic visualisation, Rhino users have a wealth of options. Now there’s also AMD’s recently updated physically-based renderer that can harness the power of either the CPU or the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Radeon™ ProRender for Rhino is developed by the same team that brings you the professional series of AMD Radeon PRO GPUs and features the latest version of the AMD Radeon ProRender 2.0 rendering Software Development Kit (SDK). Once installed, it essentially sits alongside the existing rendering engine inside Rhino 7.0.
Furthermore, because it is fully integrated with Rhino it allows you to render models directly inside the viewport. You don’t need to change your existing material definitions. To install, simply search for AMD ProRender for Rhino in the Rhino Package Manager (Rhino command “Package Manager”), download and install. It is available for the latest Windows and Mac OS. To activate the software, simply switch the renderer in Rhino 7.0. Go to the render pull down menu, or the render panel to the right-hand side of the window, and then switch the render mode on your chosen viewport to ProRender. Radeon ProRender 2.0 for Rhino can be used in any of the Rhino viewports.
