Hi all

im following this guide:

Building x64 targets with Visual C++ 2008 Express:
It's possible to build 64 bit versions of Blender using Visual C++ express from microsoft, and windows 7 x64 editions

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2 ... 08_Express
---------------------
And then this step:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2 ... msvc/Scons

This is how to build Blender from its SVN source using Microsoft compiler with Scons. Except if specifically noted you can use the free Microsoft Visual C++ Express instead of the full Microsoft Visual Studio.
------------------
I trying to compile using cycles with CUDA so i learn

Building Cycles:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2 ... s/Building

And about CUDA:
Download the CUDA Toolkit and install, and make sure you have recent enough nvidia drivers (e.g. 270.X or newer)


Everything works fine... no errors... but


when i select cycles > render > display

only can see CPU option

no GPU option... no CUDA


What im doing wrong ?

any help is welcome

Open the User Preferences (Ctrl Alt U), go to System and then choose a Device in the Compute Device section. Be sure to select your graphics card.

After this, GPU Compute option will be available in the Render Panel.

what does it mean if my graphic card is not listed?

It probably means your GPU doesn't support CUDA.

Which graphics card do you have?
