Radeon ProRender for Blender 3.5.0

[bsavery]

• Support for Blender 3.3 and Blender 3.4 has been added, including support for the new hair system.
• The RPR Interactive mode has been improved with the following developments:
  • Better support for more shader node types;
  • Even faster rendering with optimized settings out of the box;
  • Hair rendering support;
  • More AOVs supported;
  • Support for OpenColorIO texture spaces;
  • Shadow Catcher support;
  • Per face materials are supported;
  • IES lights are now supported.
• A new Bevel Shader node has been added. This can be used to create small rounded edges on objects. In the physical world, objects rarely have completely sharp edges like polygons. Using this node will enhance the details of artists’ renders.
• Support for the Double Sided node has been added, which allows attaching a different shader to each side of an object mesh.
• The “Pixel Filter” (anti-aliasing) setting for the RPR Final mode has been re-enabled.

Not working for me in Linux: when I use the IPR, Blender crashes. The same problem also happens in Houdini. Then, I tried to compile it and I've got compilation error. System: Rocky Linux 9. That's what happens:

Been trying to use Prorender for two years now and just haven't been down with it, using an old weaksauce R9 390 8gb. No idea what you did with this version but it's making breakfast out of demos faster than I've ever experienced. Good job, if the dang driver support for this GPU wasn't so bad I'd like to try Prorender on Linux again. Good job on this.

First impressions are that it is faster, but there is a stupidly long delay when pressing ESCape to abort a render. It can take minutes to respond to this, which is annoying. It does start rendering very quickly now rather than taking a silly time to compile shaders, but I would still like to see it abort a render in a reasonable time. It's actually faster to force quit Blender from outside and then reload the file you were working on. This is irritating and really silly.

[FireAngelOfLondon]

Oh, and I forgot; any attempt to use an Open EXR file as an IBL and Blender crashes as soon as rendering starts.

I'm on a Mac Pro, 128GB RAM, Catalina OS, Radeon RX580 8Gb.

Great work! Render become more stable and faster then ever. You did very hard work, and we appreciate it! And thank you!

Hey team,
I'm getting the following error when I try to Import Material:

(Strangely 'Diamond' worked. 'Rubber' and 'Gold' gave similar errors)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[alexwilderuk]

Solved. Apologies - I was trying to import when another item already had a material.

І куди цю хуйню кидати чи як встановити, що блять дальше???
and how this shit instal? or where drop it, how that shit must work???

[TerydiyRadymor]

too late (why is there no description under the file), I found an installer with a complete reinstallation of the driver, (amd became bad І download the driver from the official website and they are missing something, those developers are sick, if not for Blender, then Vegas does not work)

[FireAngelOfLondon]

If you want real answers to real questions it would be far more productive to ask politely. Being blunt is one thing, being rude is not likely to result in getting help as quickly or as readily. I am slightly amazed you got even the helpful link above.

[TerydiyRadymor]

imagine that I am shocked by the fact that I have to look for some applications and drivers that are not on the official sites, then I am guilty of AMD's crookedness, and maybe I should replace the writing (in more detail here), they must writed the installation is here

[bsavery]

Hey @TerydiyRadymor, not sure at all what you're trying to do. This is a plugin for blender, not at all related to drivers. Good luck.

[TerydiyRadymor]

thanks for the luck. I installed some amd video card drivers, I don't even know on which site I found them, and everything worked.

Hi! Trying to install the addon on Mint 21. When I try to enable the addon, blender just crashes. This doesn't seem to be a known issue afaik. If you guys could look into this it would be great :D

[sergofc]

So guys how does one access this new Bevel Shader node. Am I missing something? Can't seem to find any documentation about it either.
All I see is the blender's bevel node in the shader editor, which as supposed does not work. Any help?

[sergofc]

Ok I found out it works only in final render, and not in viewport

[bsavery]

If you set the viewport mode to "RPR - Final" in the settings it should work. We're looking to add support to interactive mode in the future.

the source code is here https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderBlenderAddon/releases/tag/v3.5.2

can anyone help to compile it for windows and upload again?

Thanks

it used to be there, but the file is gone, and only source code there
