DR rendering, all machines using one core only

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

I was wandering if you guys could help me.

We are trying to render on multiple machines in our office using DR method, however all machines render using one core only. I found out that there is 10 machines limit per licence so theoretically I should have 20 buckets on my screen (all computers are dual core).

Did anyone have similar problem? I would really appreciate your help.

*** rubbing my glassphere

you are using max9 and Vray RC3

before you render press F11
type in

renderers.current.system_numthreads=2

that should give you back a blue 2

if you render now all pc use 2 cores to render

thats bug in vrayRC3 - go for the update !

Actually, it’s a bug in 3ds Max… but you can work around it as QuakeMarine1 posted. For newer versions (e.g. 1.5) V-Ray automatically does something similar to force multithreading.

Thanks QuakeMarine1

Checked and it didn’t work.
I forgot to add in previous post: I’m using max9 64bit and Vray1.5 RC3

checked it again and it worked:)))
I guess I was doing something wrong.
Thanks again QuakeMarine1.
