Radeon ProRender for Blender 3.0.8

This release is an update to version 3.0 with a few changes:

• Various changes to better match Cycles scenes in general “look” of the renders (please note, artists should still expect to have to adjust settings when moving from Cycles to ProRender).
  • Object Ray Visibility uses Cycles ones. That is, the Cycles object visibility is automatically used rather than separate ProRender visibility settings.
  • Point, Sun and Spot light default intensities are closer to Cycles.
  • Sun Light softness matches Cycles.
  • The Velvet and Hair Shaders match Cycles better.
  • Clamp Radiance is no longer enabled by default. For users experiencing fireflies, enable this setting in the Render Settings.
• Fixes for contour rendering.
• Improved interactivity with Viewport Renders.
• Some issues with texture compression present in version 3.0.1 are fixed.
• Issues with normal maps (related to texture compression) are also fixed.

Radeon ProRender for Blender 3.0

The new plug-in version incorporates version 2.0 of our Radeon™ ProRender system and brings about significant changes and enhancements:

• Hardware-accelerated ray tracing on AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 series GPUs.
• Better scaling across multiple devices: the use of two or more GPUs gives a better performance improvement with Radeon ProRender-2.0 than with Radeon ProRender 1.0 in most cases.
• Less noise for a given number of render samples. Using the same number of samples as with Radeon ProRender 1.0 may be slower in some scenes, but noise will be significantly lower.
• RPR 2.0 is the default render mode called “Full”. Users who wish to use RPR 1.0 can set the render quality mode to “Legacy”.
