GPU Rendering
Would be nice to use this with external GPU. My 2015 MBP with AMD Radeon is running fans so loud, it is hard to listen. And the speed of rendering is pretty slow.
Otherwise I definitely love the idea of 3D app for designers inclouded in CC. Just as handy, as Adobe Muse. Can't wait to see next versions.

Hello everyone! I know it’s been quiet on the GPU side of things for a while now. I wanted to let you know it’s been actively under the works for a bit, but a lot going on behind the scenes. Here’s what I can say so far!
In Dimension 2.0 we’ve launched an entire new rendering engine, the Adobe Dimension Renderer. This is an in-house rendering engine which allows us to have more direct control over many things. We’re actively working on GPU support and have our first beta proof for the RTX cards, demoed at Adobe MAX last week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4zNBOYcD1s
This includes an overhaul to being able to interact with the render mode, so thinking about both rendering during design work and as final renders. We’re still working on this and are looking to port the technologies to new cards and platforms (AMD, Mac Metal, etc.)
In addition to GPU rendering, please note we are also working on faster CPU rendering and you can expect a performance oriented update in the near future that should include a significant increase to final render times on CPU.
FInally, we are still exploring cloud rendering, which is available as a free private beta. You will need to join the Prerelease program and download a special build to use Cloud Rendering, but it is available to everyone at the moment. You can sign up for the Dimension program here:

Still looking for a GPU update. My 2080ti shouldnt be relaxing while my Ryzen 5 is throttling to 100%.

Is there any progress with the GPU rendering? Great concept but fails in a production environment. One can't wait forever for a simple render.

Hey Jeanette - Any update on AMD GPU support? I'm ready to cry over here waiting for these renders to finish. The final product looks great but these render times are murder. i9 8-core 5GHz and I'm still pulling teeth.
My DUO GPU would make fast work of this - Much faster than the 20 minutes of cloud compute time.

Times flies by, so slowly. Like the update process of the adobe coding team. There is still no gpu support, and the remove of the V-Ray renderer doesnt speed up anything.

My Quadro P1000 is just sitting there doing nothing while my 6 Cores Xeon is maxed out at 4Ghz for a simple render of a canister and taking 15 minutes plus..

Any updates on GPU-rendering for the coming updates? To sit with a GTX 1080 TI with 0% load and all CPU cores at full load during rendering feels a bit.. meh

I was very excited about Dimension, until I opened the rendering. It's unrealistic to see that such software does not have something basic like GPU rendering.

2 hours for a lit 1500px rectangle... lol.

It would be nice to be able to render full stop. This software is a joke on even the simplest of designs. GPU and CUDA please, all this metal implementation and your own engine idea that means buying a new mac or hardware is a liberty. Guess what, an inconvenient truth is that most renderers use CUDA based GPU's. Dimension is actually even slower than it was , I've watched fossils form while this has been rendering.

Hi,
Cloud rendering makes very low quality and sharped pictures (text, shapes etc.). I know that you are forcing cloud render as thing where you can earn some money on users - but a lot of graphic designers have good graphic cards and easly can generate pictures at work. So - basicly - is there any shadow of chance that GPU render will work and when ? -

When GPU rendering is available through the Adobe Dimension Renderer will Nvidia cards work on newer versions of Mac OS that aren't compatible with CUDA?

The side by side comparison would be very helpful! You can send it to tickets@adobedimension.com . We can certainly make things faster, but knowing what the visual target you're looking for would be great.
Cheers!

I have a loaded up MBP 2017. I did a render in Dn last night that took 6.5 hours and it looked horrible. I even brought the canvas size up to 4K x 2.7K at 500 px/in. Did I do something wrong? I did similar size in Fusion 360's render section and Fusion did a beautiful job in about 2 minutes! I would really like to use Dn because you have models already that I can put my labels onto. I can PM you with side by side picture comparisons if you like.

GPU rendering is a must !!! My I7 CPU is exploded :)

It seems a little silly to me that Dimensions doesn't allow GPU support. I'm watching the activity monitor and the GPU is at 0 while all 8 of my CPU's are maxed at %100.
GPU SUPPORT!

Hey Jeanette... Thanks for your quick reply! That limit would be good if it means nothing, will probably save Adobe a few headaches too as users may react badly, as I did. I found that while Dimension was rendering then even trying to type an email was next to impossible as letters would just randomly print to screen. Once Dimensions was closed all was good. I've rendered with ZBrush, Daz3D and photoshop and I don't get the same issue.

@Maxim - just a note that that is the way the resources are reported for multiple cores. For example a 4 core CPU would report up to 400%. You probably have a 10-core processor using 100%. Rendering generally uses 100% of all available resources to do it faster. We can put in a limit at % if you want!
