Blender Asked by user3922088 on January 3, 2021
Alright, so i have a slightly strange system configuration. I’m running Zorin OS 12, which is roughly equivalent to Ubuntu 16.04. I am also running Mesa, but i use AMD’s OpenCL. It works just fine with various miners i tested.
Now i want blender to actually render on the GPU. Blender detects it when i use the split kernel, but for some reason, whatever i do, it always falls back to the cpu.
Here’s the script i use:
import bpy, _cycles
bpy.ops.wm.open_mainfile(filepath="/home/xxx/xxx.blend")
for scene in bpy.data.scenes:
bpy.context.scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'
bpy.data.scenes["Scene"].cycles.device='GPU'
bpy.context.scene.cycles.device = 'GPU'
bpy.context.user_preferences.addons['cycles'].preferences.compute_device_type = "OPENCL"
bpy.context.user_preferences.addons['cycles'].preferences.devices[0].use = True
bpy.ops.render.render(True)
img_path = "/home/xxx/Bilder/test_1.png"
rendered_image = bpy.data.images["Render Result"]
rendered_image.save_render(filepath=img_path)
I am really at a loss here, but i think this could work. I mean even if the GPU for some reason does not work, it should not just fall back to the CPU, but give me some sort of error, right?

EDIT
For reasons unknown to me, installing Radeon RenderPro for Blender has fixed the problem!

Right now, I am using Blender 2.90. Here is my Python code to detect and use GPU in Blender.
import bpy
bpy.data.scenes[0].render.engine = "CYCLES"
# Set the device_type
bpy.context.preferences.addons[
"cycles"
].preferences.compute_device_type = "CUDA" # or "OPENCL"
# Set the device and feature set
bpy.context.scene.cycles.device = "GPU"
# get_devices() to let Blender detects GPU device
bpy.context.preferences.addons["cycles"].preferences.get_devices()
print(bpy.context.preferences.addons["cycles"].preferences.compute_device_type)
for d in bpy.context.preferences.addons["cycles"].preferences.devices:
d["use"] = 1 # Using all devices, include GPU and CPU
print(d["name"], d["use"])
```

Looks like you have multiple scenes in your file. To cycle through them and set them all use:
for scene in bpy.data.scenes:
scene.cycles.device = 'GPU'
bpy.context
refers to the to the area of blender which is currently being accessed by the user, not the script loop. If you don't have the file open, I would avoid using bpy.context
calls and instead access bpy.data
.
