AMD Radeon ProRender

AMD Radeon ProRender is a powerful physically based rendering engine that enables 3D modelers, architects, product designers, and other professionals to create spectacular and realistic representations that take advantage of all the benefits and acceleration engines provided by AMD CPU and GPU solutions.
AMD Radeon ProRender, which uses all of the latest ray-tracing features, realistic material rendering, and support for projects of all sizes, can supercharge the development of stunning computer-generated 3D images, delivering stunning results that can be used in a wide range of projects, including promotional material, automotive and aerospace visualizations, medical visualization, animated and feature films, promotional CGI renders, and more.

AMD Radeon ProRender, built on cutting-edge rendering technologies, can extract maximum performance from the latest generation of raytracing-compatible Radeon GPU cards (including AMD Radeon RX 6000, Radeon PRO W6000, and the latest Radeon 7000 series), the industry-leading raytracing denoising, and a comprehensive set of proprietary and open-source software solutions powered by OpenCL, Apple Metal, and Vulkan. And, best of all, AMD Radeon ProRender and its numerous plugins are available to everyone for free, allowing a new generation of photorealistic image rendering for users of both AMD CPU/GPU solutions and hardware from other vendors.

AMD Radeon ProRender can be integrated into the daily workflows of teams and businesses of all sizes, with free plugins available for all popular 3D modeling platforms (Blender, Maya, Houdini, 3DS Max, USD, PTC Creo, and Unreal Engine) on all supported operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux).

Developers that want to construct their complete visualization workflow around AMD Radeon ProRender can deploy a highly capable AMD Radeon ProRender Developer Suite, which comprises of the following modules: AMD Radeon ProRender SDK, AMD Radeon Rays SDK, and the AMD Radeon Image Filter Library SDK. The native implementation of Morgenot's Render Pool service also supports cloud rendering.

PROS

• Physically based rendering engine
• Supports ray-tracing, material rendering, and projects of all sizes
• Can leverage AMD CPU/GPU solutions for maximum performance
• Free for everyone to use with numerous plugins available for popular 3D modeling platforms
• Cloud rendering is supported with a native implementation of the Render Pool service

CONS

• While it offers many options, one limitation of AMD Radeon ProRender is the absence of noise reduction or branched path tracing, which makes it less flexible than Cycles
