[Closed] Control number of threads of mental ray, is it possible?

Go into Windows Task Manager, and go to the Processes Tab. If you right click on Max and choose “Set Affinity”, I believe this allows you to choose which CPUs are used for processing.

Hi,

Why do you want to do that? Have you read Ken’s blog, somewhere in there there is a little bit about how you can make mental ray render in low priority.

J.

I don’t want to 3dsmax.exe proccess to run in low priority or with only 4 threads, i want to control the number of threads that are used to render, but right now is a silly thing…i just remembered that it cannot be done because mental ray is automatically threaded, and when you render max gets blocked, so…no solution

But thanks for the interest
