Alternative ways for ray-tracing extrusion and bevel effect

[gregs43870006]

The graphic card in my computer does not allow me to have full access to racy-tracing extrusion and bevel effects on 3D objects.

Is there an alternative effect, with a Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB graphics card, that can mimic the extrusion and bevel effect? This is in relation to an imported graphic.

C4D renderer, C4D lite, Element 3D Plugin

Those are pretty much the 3 alternatives to the ray trace renderer.

Whether or not any of those will work with your video card or your "imported graphic"

is something you can research yourself.

When I try Cinema 4D an "AEGP Plugin CINEMA 4D: CINERENDER - Connection failure Execute ( 5027 :: 12 )" and a "CINEMA 4D: Render Failed ( 5070 :: 0 )" error pop up.

Do you know how I would fix that?

I found this by pasting the error into google

AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Connection failure (5027 :: 12)

AE allows FULL ACCESS to its ray-tracing features, regardless if you have a supported NviDIA GPU.
What is the error message(s) you are receiving? Please post them.

Additionally, the Cinema 4D Renderer also provides most of the features found in the Ray-traced Renderer. Both of these render engines support extrusions and bevel features without requiring GPU accelerations. Of course, only AE's built-in Ray-traced Renderer has GPU acceleration.
