Hi

I've got the upgrade to max 9 and downloaded VRAY RC3 too. Everything installed fine and I've setup network rendering with a few dual core machines.

Network rendering worked 1st time but with one annoying problem. For some reason on all my dual core render clients vray will only use one core. On my local machine its rendering 2 buckets (P4 HT enabled) but for all my dual core clients its only rendering 1 bucket and in task manager on the clients only one core is being used.

Has anyone come accross this? and if so have you a solution?

With max8 and the previous version of vray network rendering used to use the 2 cores fine (when it decided to work that is!)

Appreciate any help anyone can provide
phil

PS- I'd post this in the chaos forum only I'm still waiting for access to post in their forums!

If you get the answer from the Vray forum, please let us know the answer, as we're about to upgrade too. Are you using 64-bit anywhere? What OS?

32 bit version. A
chaos group answer would be nice, but no access.................

Phillip try this it might fix your problem...........see below




For whatever reason, 3dsmax 9 seems to assume always 1 rendering thread when started in slave mode; we will work around this issue, but for now, you can force V-Ray to use a specified number of threads across all render slaves by opening the maxscript listener (f11) and typing:

renderers.current.system_numThreads=4

This will cause all render slaves to always use 4 rendering threads.

Best regards,
Vlado
