concurrent tasks, multi proc settings

Hi,

Just installed 2.6 demo and trying to figure out something.



Seems when I submit a scene from maya my systems DO start to render, however they DONT fully use the avail cpu power.



If I edit the job properties in deadline monitor and set the concurrent tasks to 8 instead of 1, I see all 4 procs are used.



Am I missing something? Is there a way to specify ‘use all the power’ from maya so I dont have to edit Concurrent Tasks every time I make a new job?



Thanks!

great product!



(oh my specs, maya v.8 unlim, software renderer/mental ray, 4 physical procs per system, dual-dualcore opterons)

Hi, usualy maya uses all processors even on quad cpu, my scenes render at 100%



Make sure that the Processors to use value is set to 0.



0 tell Maya or mental ray to use all available cpus



Hope this help.
