Hey Richard, ran into a problem and can't use the new computer, probably for the next several months. I was thinking of installing the 32 bit version of Daz instead of 64 since the old computer don't like Iray. Wanted to know if dforce works with 32 bit Daz?
Comments
The OpenCL CPU driver is 64 bit, I think, but DS 32 itself has dForce yes.
Thanks Richard, now I need to remember how to get the Open CL on this thing, since it doesn't have an nvidia card
AMD cards should support OpenCL with the standard driver as far as I know, it isn't a proprietary technology the way CUDA is.
Thanks again...you wouldn't by any chance have the link to get the OpenCL site and what version do I need, I have a Radeon HD 3400 series. The computer itself is just a standard dual quad core.
From what i can find, the hd3400's don't support opencl.
The minimum for Dforce is 1.2, which is HD5000 series and up.

I might have to switch to the blender clone BForArtist till I get my computer back, since that won't use resources like Daz does. It's lighter on the computer, system requirements are way less. I can concentrate on just making props as I learn the program and let people know what I think of it, maybe even get some video's about it done.
Thanks for your help both of you, I will have my son in law double check what you said DrunkMonkey. He's a self employed computer tech and knows way more then I do these days.
