Document Metal renderer in preferences - Cycles Render Device #523

Closed ReinerBforartists closed 8 months ago

ReinerBforartists commented 1 year ago

This is a tough one. We need a mac user who makes a screenshot from the Render devices. Metal is now not longer experimental.

  • Cycles: Remove MetalRT experimental status, and add "auto enable" option

This PR removes the "experimental" disclaimer from the MetalRT control now that the unit tests all render correctly with it enabled. As well as "Off" and "On", this adds a third "Auto" setting - a new default which can be used to pick the best option.
