Originally posted by gster123 I'm talking about making maya use all the available processors on the system when rendering, what did you think I was on about??? Its in the render menu under batch render option box, which does make it use all processors even if rendering a single frame. Have a look in the help files. I knew what you were talking about, but it says in Maya 2008 that the support of multi-processors is new, so I didn’t know you could do that. Anyway, thanks for telling me that. I tried it out, and it seems like it works, but 2008 uses my 2nd CPU better.
