3d max computation and multi CPU
Hello
I've noticed that max 9 does not use all my processor cores when making complex calculations like welding lots of vertices, complex mesh edits etc.... I'm using 2x dual core opteron with 32 bit max 9 + VRAY I have managed to overcome the problem with rendering using maxscript, but don't know how to utilise my full CPU power for general max work any suggestions would be appreciated - I'm thinking that maybe i have to upgrade to 64bit? |

Re: 3d max computation and multi CPU
Most of the Max operations are not multi-threaded and can not use multi CPUs. Vray should be using all of them but when editing you might as well use the other 3 cores to look for aliens.

Re: 3d max computation and multi CPU
I spoke to Autodesk and they tell me that everything will be multithreaded in later releases - who knows when that will be.
I managed to sort the rendering in VRAY with a bit of maxscript |
