The big question is whether ART is for you? This is still a very new product, not something that almost three decades old like Mental Ray. Instead it has a simplified set of quality settings that let you quickly get to the business of rendering your model. This is reflected in the fact that ART does not have the sophisticated level of control over every aspect of rendering compared to the other two. Not so much for high-end CG work in the film or gaming industry, where both the Nvidia renderers have found a home. While Autodesk is marketing ART as a direct alternative to both Iray and Mental Ray, the company is specifically framing it as a renderer best suited for photorealistic engineering and architecture renderings. Of course you still have the option of rendering locally on your own hardware, but it is nice to have the option. ART is not the first to bring cloud to the table, but it is one of the first to let you render animation in the cloud, as opposed to just stills. If you don’t know, this is not the same as distributing a render job across your network or render farm the way we are used to, but getting a cloud centre cluster to render your work somewhere out in the world, without leaning on your own hardware.Ĭloud rendering services are becoming more and more common now and can be a fast and cost-effective alternative depending on your business needs. Based on a commenter below, it seems like Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is the culprit.The other really interesting thing about ART is that it provides cloud-based rendering. But I'm not sure which of the two caused the issue. For anyone who sees this post, I turned off a gpu undervolt I had running in MSI Afterburner, and also turned off windows' Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling. All help is appreciated!ĮDIT: I solved it. I've done a clean install of Fusion and of my gpu drivers. I have it set to use the Nvidia gpu in the Nvidia control panel.

It doesn't seem to be a very common issue from my searches, and none of the other solutions I found have helped.

When I try to reopen it, it gives this error: 'The software renderer is being used, it could be due to that the graphics card is not powerful enough or its driver is not installed.' Hey guys! I haven't used fusion at all since last year, but I finally have time to go back to an old project, but with my new version of Fusion, it stutters like crazy and inevitably crashes.
