V-Ray standalone & DR: 25% CPU only

[Fredrik Averpil]

Hi,

I have a particular scene (.vrscene) which I'm rendering on 10 machines using DR (V-Ray standalone bundled with V-Ray for Maya). However, I'm noticing that the CPU is only working at around 25%-28% throughout the rendering (8 core machines, all cores working but not at 100%). All shaders are completely procedural. Is this something that could happen in certain scenarios or does it sound like something's wrong?

I'm on nightly build 23395, Windows 7 64-bit.

It should not happen. If you can send the .vrscene to vraymaya@chaosgroup.com it will be very helpful to see what's going on.

Best regards,
Vlado

I've sent the scene to you for closer inspection. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you very much for the scene and explanation - we will investigate what is going on and we will update you as soon as possible.

The scene rendered just fine, although it took a little longer than expected - so there's no hurry. Many thanks again for taking a look.
