Radeon ProRender standalone for Maya

[Habaybeh]

Hi everyone,

is it possible to (somehow) modify this engine to be compiled as a standalone renderer, instead of a plugin on Maya? The purpose is to use the standalone renderer on a remote computer. What's the complexity of such thing?

Thank you.

So is your question about RPR in general? We do have the RPR SDK available (with examples) that can be compiled to run independent. https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderSDK/tree/master/tutorials

Or are you looking to export data from Maya and then render in some standalone?

I'm looking to export data from Maya and use it on RPR but on a remote location (Cloud).

Can I do that by compiling the SDK you provided as a standalone RPR for Maya?

And thank you.

So that's a bit even easier. You can export a .rpr file from Maya using the export menu, then use the RPRSRender64.exe included in the SDK. From here: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderSDK/tree/master/RadeonProRender/binWin64
Instructions for using the command line exe: https://radeon-pro.github.io/RadeonProRenderDocs/en/sdk/command_line_tools.html

That sound great. I will give it a go, I hope I can achieve something :)
Thank you so much.
