3ds Max 2017 Download Autodeskġ5 minute frame on my 3.3Ghz 4 core desktop now taking 2 mins.That's a huge difference! Nice to see that things seem to be working well.I noticed in the setup help pages about the bucket render size. Basically I’m trying to say that more threads doesn’t necessarily mean “more better”. If you increase the threads to 16 then each one will have 512MB of RAM. Each thread will have 1GB of RAM dedicated to it. So let’s say you have 8GB of RAM and 8 threads. One thing to keep in mind is that the amount of RAM will be evenly distributed amongst the threads. Older versions of mental ray had issues with more than 48 threads. How much depends on your version of 3ds Max. One issue I am aware of is that the Windows Server built-in “Internet Explorer Enhanced Security” does interfere with Backburner and needs to be disabled.As to how many cores will be used, that depends on the renderer used in 3ds Max.ĭefault Scanline will not take advantage of many threads, mental ray will though. Just before I start let me just preface this that the setup you mentioned is not officially supported.That out of the way in theory it should work.
