Hello

I have installed Adobe After Effects and my ray tracing cannot function with the GPU option.

Can anyone offer any solution for this issue?

Ray-Tracing is an obsolete renderer only for CUDA enabled graphics cards, that is, the nVidia ones. Instead of activating Ray-tracing, you can use the newest Cinema 4D renderer included in the latest versions of AE for use with any graphic card.

Hi ori.rann.avdar,

The ray-traced 3D feature is an obsolete feature, so don't worry about not having access to GPU acceleration for ray-traced 3D comps at this point. Use the Cinema4D renderer for similar comps instead. It doesn't matter which GPU you have when you use that one. Makes sense?

Thanks,
Kevin

How do I use the Cinema4D renderer?

At the moment rendering takes a lot of time.

Ray traced and C4D rendering takes a lot of time. There's not much you can do about that. We cannot know if you are experiencing longer than normal render times unless we have complete system, workflow and rendering details. I routinely do some fairly complex composites that can take up to seven minutes a frame to render. That's my design limit.
