quad only 25%

[thomasrieger]

Hi!

My single quad 5345 only uses 25% in light cache.(ir+lc)
But it goes down at the last 30% of the calculation.
ir+qmc uses all 4 cores at 100%.

System: VIZ2008, vray 1.5 RC3, XP64, 4gb ram, swap file to 8gb

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

do u double check the "number of passes" in LC rollout?
it should match the number of cores; in your machine should be 4

...otherwise try writing the following line in the maxscript listener

renderers.current.system_numThreads=4

here I've 100% on viz2005 RC4 running quadcore qx6700

hope it helps

Thanks for your tipps.
The number of passes was 4.
I added the script, but now it is strange:
At the last quarter of lc-calculation 1 core goes down, then a bit later the second, and then the third.

any other ideas?

thanks

now i found out, that one rpc person was in the scene.
without this person lc-calculation: 50seconds
with rpc person: 50 minutes!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone knows how to fix this, or other good quality people?

RPC need to be removed from GI. In the vray properties of the RPC untick Recieve and generate GI.
Or tick invisible to GI.. ahh I cant remember.
I believe that fixes the problem.
