So I'm trying to render using my GPU (Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB on MacOS), but every time it fails. I went to the system preferences, checked "CUDA" and it selected my graphics card (so it would seem it's supported), yet when I go to render it "fails to load the render kernel." and tells me to view the console for further information. But when I check the python console, there is absolutely nothing related to the subject—rendering hasn't even modified it.

What am I doing incorrectly? Am I wrong, and my graphics card really is incompatible with Cycles? Or is it something else?

    CUDA is NVidia proprietary technology. For GPU acceleration you need either NVidia or AMD graphics card – Duarte Farrajota Ramos May 17 '18 at 23:23

    AMD GPU rendering is done using opencl, this should also work for Intel GPU's. – sambler May 18 '18 at 07:14
  • By the way, it means the system console, not the python console. Window > Show System Console on windows. On other OS's you'll have to start Blender from the terminal. – gandalf3 May 30 '18 at 07:19
