V-Ray running on one processor only

[obeth]

Hi all;

This is probably a no-brainer, but I can't seem to get VRay running on all processors. I have multithreaded switched on in the Max prefs. But it only renders on 1 out of 8 processors.

Vray Adv 1.5 sp1 - Max 2008
4 Xeon X5355@266Mhz hyperthreaded

Cheers

Open your task manager in the OS ... do you see 8?

[obeth]

Yes,
8 processors but CPU usage at 13%

got it sorted. a prankster of a collegue had clicked off 7 processors in my affinity tab.

ah, the joys of communal work environments.

lol .. never mind ..

mine sometimes does this anyway without anyone messing with affinity settings - i've posted about it before. happened on my old machine too...

only on this machine i can't change the affinity settings for max... fixed by re-starting but can be very very annoying.
