Radeon ProRender SDK

Radeon ProRender is a physically-based renderer. It uses path-tracing algorithms to create accurate lighting and material renders on either CPUs or GPUs, or both. For artists, several plugins are available which which enable the use of Radeon ProRender in their rendering software.

The SDK is also available for developers to adapt and integrate into their applications. This section is intended to help developers use the SDK.

Hardware and OS Support

Radeon ProRender runs on the common OSs and modern hardware. For GPU rendering it requires any GPU that supports OpenCL 1.2; however, it is optimized for AMD hardware of course. On macOS, instead of OpenCL, it uses Metal 2, so a Metal-capable graphics card is necessary for GPU rendering.
