Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted September 25, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks @Carlosan. 1.7 is the update that was released a month ago. For a moment I thought there was a brand new version. I'm eagerly awaiting a version that supports vertex paint. Until then you're stuck with UV-mapped texturing.

True, but one can decimate (or use Instant Meshes as the Auto-Retopo option) a version of a high poly sculpt as a Retopo Mesh and bake with AutoUV enabled, to get a usable option (that largely bypasses the time-consuming Retopo and Uv layout process) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Nothing on cryptomatte yet. However we just put out new plugins for Q4 with some fun updates: Sheen added to uber shader New material library with separate installer More interactive viewport renders Light group AOVS Stability improvements, and more! https://community.amd.com/community/prorender/blog/2018/11/16/amd-radeon-prorender-updates-for-q4-2018 11 07E.jpg960x540 118 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted November 17, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Once Carrots is finished doing what he is working on (GPU Brush engine for the Paint Room?), I hope he contacts AMD and works with them to integrate ProRender in 3DCoat. I think it would be a huge hit. I'm impressed with what I've been seeing lately in the Modo and Blender versions. It's very close to Octane level of performance. I think the reason it wasn't considered before is perhaps because it wasn't able to handle really dense meshes as well as Renderman. However, I'm sure AMD could help optimize it so that it is better able to handle larger meshes. Plus, the Renderman integration leaves a lot to be desired in that there is no interactivity. It basically exports the scene to Renderman Standalone, which shows the result in the viewport or preview panel...but again, no interactive rendering mode, and when rendering PAINT objects, it will only render one UV map. No Shadow-catching material/shader, either, which is necessary for rendering with an HDRI environment. No turntable rendering in Renderman, either. So, we need something more tightly integrated into 3DCoat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted November 17, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I agree. Radeon ProRender is a fast renderer that is actively developed, and works great with AMD cards on a Mac. I'm very satisfied using it in Blender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I am only waiting any news about cryptomatte support to begin switching to RPR on small production test. I asked Andrew to integrate ProRender in 3DCoat too. And to add Alembic and USD can help a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Andrew to integrate ProRender in 3DCoat too. And to add Alembic and USD can help a lot. Yeah. I'd be happy if they just add it, initially to work with just PAINT OBJECTS (Low-Med Poly, UV mapped meshes). If it cannot yet handle meshes with millions of polygons, that's fine. Knowing that up front, users can always just RMB the VoxTree layer > RETOPO VIA DECIMATION or just either Auto Retopo or Instant Meshes to generate a lower poly version. Then bake. It's not that big of a deal, IMO. It's better to have ProRender that works great on Paint Objects, than not have it at all, just because it cannot render dense Sculpt Objects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted November 18, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 ...I think a good implementation and integration of ProRender would be a game changer for 3DCoat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 AMD has recently revealed a new version of its free GPU renderer for 3DS Max. The update brings adaptive subdivision, a bilateral denoiser that is on by default, the ability to export for .rpr format, a new AO node that can be used for simulating dirt, the ability to use physical lights in Active Shade mode, improved Uber shaders, improved performance and more. Read the full list in the release notes. Added .rpr export format. Added adaptive subdivision. Adaptive subdivision allows the user to specify the size in pixels to subdivide to. 1 being to divide so faces are 1 pixel in size, and 2 would mean coarser subdivision. (1 is recommended). This will take into account the size of the object in screen, so faraway objects will not over-subdivided. Bilateral denoiser is now the selected default in the UI. A number of Uber3 default values have changed from 0 to 1: ReflectionWeight, RefractionWeight, CoatingWeight, EmissiveWeight, EmissiveIntensity, SSSWeight, Transparency. Updated Uber shaders: Diffuse backscattering option, allows simple backlighting for objects like tree leaves or semi-translucent film. Clearcoat thickness and transmission color. Allows simulating effects like a lacquer on a surface, allowing the artist to specify how thick the coating is, and if the coating has a color to the substrate, for example a yellowish tint to a varnish on furniture. Refraction absorption, for glass and liquid objects that scatter light, for example deep water or glass with particles in it. Per lobe normals. Artists can specify a normal map for each lobe, for example in car paint, a different normal map can be used for just the clearcoat to simulate microscratches from waxing the surface, while the underlying material has a smoother normal map. Refractions (Glass) Now default to not allow caustics, this will lead to faster, less noisy images as caustics are not computed unless necessary. For materials that the user does want caustics for, simply enable the checkbox in the refraction section of Uber AMD You can find the full list in the release notes.

Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted September 29, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) It's a good piece of software but needs some testing out. The SSS works well. And thanks for your post. It solved a lot of problems Wow, it's got path tracing too.

It's interface and ability to use the material library is on first glance much easier and more intuitive than Blender's but I haven't really explored that aspect of Blender yet. This is just the viewport real time render, not a final render btw. I haven't been able to find any worthwhile tutorials for it in Blender so far. If anyone has some please post them. It would be appreciated. OK so it took me three or four minutes but I got it working in Blender.

Carlosan Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hi all! We just released some new builds for your pleasure including the following enhancements: Support for AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT graphics cards has been added. Cryptomatte AOVs make it easy to filter objects by name or material when using compositors that support Cryptomatte (including the Blender Cryptomatte compositor node) A 16-bit Machine Learning Denoiser option is now available to provide for less memory usage and greater speed. The speed and responsiveness of the viewport render has been vastly improved under RPR 2.0: An option for using Machine Learning Denoising and Upscaling the viewport render is enabled under the Viewport Settings. We now render faster at ½ resolution and use the Machine Learning Upscaler to enhance the resolution; Changing the properties tabs no longer restarts the viewport render; Stopping the viewport render is now much faster; Various other fixes to speed up the viewport render have been added. An often requested feature, Box mapping in the Image Texture node, is now supported! Support for Principled Hair BSDF has been added. UV Lookup nodes and math nodes now work in the High, Medium, Low modes. And a lot more fixes as well as these. Check them out at https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderBlenderAddon/releases/tag/v3.1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
