Find out how AMD and Blender could transform your 3D workflow ad
There’s no hiding AMD’s long standing support of Blender. Any artist who keeps up to speed on Blender news will know that AMD is a regular contributor to both the Blender Development Fund and the Blender Code Base. This continued support demonstrates the company's desire to make AMD the hardware of choice for Blender artists.
During this continued support and development, Blender announced in April 2021 that it was going to completely rewrite its default renderer, Cycles. It was welcomed by most of the Blender community, but there was a fairly significant detail in the rewrite which affected AMD directly. Particularly, OpenCL rendering support was removed for rendering on AMD GPUs. The motivation, on Blender’s side, was for technical and performance reasons, but it left Blender with no support for AMD GPUs.
With OpenCL gone, AMD needed a new vehicle for delivering rendering technology using its hardware. That vehicle was its HIP API. By accessing HIP Architecture, Blender has been able to bring support for AMD hardware back, starting with version 3.0. Those in the Blender community that use AMD hardware were relieved.
