vray spawner question.

[dominiquelaksmana]

hi friends,
it's really cool using DR.. i've tried and succeed some renders.
the question that i want to ask is:
------>does the processor always stuck at 50% (at the server computers with vray spawner and vray dummy) eventhough i am not
doing any render? if it's not, is there any answer to this 50%-nonstop-working cpu (although i am not doing any thing)

-------->if it's a yes, is it safe to let it be like that for several hours..
sometimes i leave it on for some reason.. like going to bed, weekends, while the computers are rendering.

thanks in advance

hmmm, mine all idle at zero cpu, is it the 3dsmax.exe or the vrayspawner.exe that uses 50% cpu all the time?

[dominiquelaksmana]

i looked at it, it is the 3d max.exe

[RErender]

you might try loading max without any plugins and see if that fixes it, then if it does you can replace the plugins till you find the one doing it. If it isn't the plugins I'm not sure what else it could be, maybe some script?

my bad...
first, i launch the spawner, and there are 2 3dmax.exe running in the task manager. so i ended one of them under administrator, can't do it. so i exit the vray spawner, and one of the max shuts down as well. and the other max idle at 0%. i didn't know this. sorry for the dumb question.. hehehe..now it's working fine. thanks for the help. really appreciated it.
