Making OpenCL features available

[micheus]

If you video card supports OpenCL, you'll be able to use Wings PBR render option:
dgud's render (orignal thread on old forum)

and also increment the proxy level:

But, if your machine doesn't has OpenCL support you still can get these resources available by installing OpenCL based on CPU (with SSE support). From the old forum - OpenCL Renderer:

• a) For old Intel processors (like P4) or on-board GPU (like Intel G33/31): ATI Stream SDK 2.3 is the last version that supports Windows XP SP3 (only available at my 4shared: OpenCL driver for Intel x WinXP); (tested)
  b) For new Intel processors: OpenCL™ Drivers and Runtimes for Intel® Architecture - download.(not tested)
  c) For AMD processors: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) SDK - download page. You must run the installer and - after select the Custom option - select only the module AMD APP CPU SDK Runtime and go ahead; (not tested)

So is this working? Sorry I'm. . . a little confused by your post. :-(

I'm confused about what PBR means here. Sounds like an unexplained Acronymn to me. I which I knew what it meant.

PBR stands for Physically Based Renderer. Here is some info on LuxRays PBR.

Here is where dgud announced his work...Wings PBR Announcement Edit: I see that Micheus had a link for that already...

PBR Render seems to be broken right now. Maybe Micheus has fixed it???

Increased Proxy Level support is working in 1.5 but if you don't have a good video card that supports OpenCL you will need to rely on CPU based OpenCL, as noted by Micheus in the first post.

No, I'm not checking it. I hope dgud can do that.

I just wanted to put this information here in order to not be lost. Also, because I've needed to find a version of OpenCL for Intel i5 with integrate Intel HD Graphics. So, I'm just sharing information here.
