Devin Johnston Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've been messing around with 2010 today and right off the bat I hate the new interface, don't know why they have to mess with a good thing. Beyond that I was doing some test scenes and noticed that Max was using only 50% of my available processors, I've got a dual processor system running Intel W5580's. I've checked and multi-threading is turned on, I've seen some talk about bitmap paging slowing things down but I don't think that's what's going on here. Anyone seen this before, is it a Max or Vray problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Is anyone using Max2010 and SP3a, is it working properley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Matthews Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've been on it for a month and have no issues with that. I have dual quads and all is running full steam. Can you post your cpu performance dialog box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 No problems either. On 8-core systems under Xp64 and Vista64. Maybe it's a 16-core hyperthreading issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Have you tried rendering the same scene with MR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 No I don't use MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koper Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 No I don't use MR. point "." Haven't seen issues but then again we haven't really switched over from 2008. I almost want to say rendering goes faster in 2010 (vray) and i'm also hating the extra menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 No I don't use MR. I surely don't want you to switch renderers I just would like to know if this problem persist with other renderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I read a post by Vlado saying this was a Max problem so I would think it does affect MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dollus Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 could you open one of the MR sample scenes from 2010 and check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seen this before, is it a Max or Vray problem? I have been waiting a more flexible interface like this since MAX 4! The new tools have reduced the need for SO MANY external scripts that it's just crazy. There is nothing to hate about the new interface, you can practically turn off and remove all the new UIs that you don't like and use max like before. I don't have any problems with multithreading here using a quad, using VRay too. Check CGtalk if u don't find a solution to your issue here. Good luck. e.

Devin Johnston Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 effilang this is a known problem, Vlado has already confirmed it with Autodesk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorsten hartmann Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 hi for mental ray user. When your processor work only with 50%, than try to set the mental ray map manager to "on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
