Hey, guys! I'm not sure if there is some similar topic, but I scanned forum for the last hour with no results. I got an issue with After Effects Renderer.  When I work on Classic 3d everything is fine, but when I switch on to Ray-traced 3d, the  preview looks like this:

I got a feeling that there could be some issue with Radeon, I started this project on Nvidia and now, every time when I opening this file got this alert:

It is: Cuda doesn't work on Radeon.

Besides, Adobe gave up on ray tracing when it stated bundling C4D Lite, which works better.  You should be using it instead.

You should also carefully read the warnings in the Composition Settings>Advanced tab when you enable the C4D Renderer. There are a buch of things that are disabled including effects. Almost everybody that jumps into this renderer for the first time pays no attention to the warnings and ends up on the forum search for answers and asking questions.
