Today I tried Maxwell on a MacPro 2xDualCore... The console detect my 4 processors... But in the end Maxwell uses only one !!!

In the activity monitor though... only one core at a time is ever used. Switching randomly from core to core... like 20 seconds on first processor... 10 seconds on second... 15 seconds on fourth... The activity monitor shows a usage of 102% for Maxwell... 25%(100% of one core) + 75% iddle.

Anyone ?

Daniel,
looks like a single thread render. Did you try setting the thread number to 4 or 0 (either in plugin or studio)? This should cause acitivity of almost 400%.

Love is like
a bottle of gin.

Yep It was MY fault !!!! Tread setting was a 1... on that particular scene.

Sorry for that.
