Dear all

Sorry for my bad English...
It is possible to decide the number of Threads for use in the nodes? Where? Maybe in to Network Monitor window?

Thanks!

When you go through the network manager it takes you through the "Add Network Job Wizard" where you set your image path, mxi path, resolution, time, sampling level, etc. There's a section that says "Command Line".

At the end of the manual you'll find a bunch of things you can type in there for various functions at render time. One of those parameters is the number of threads.

I believe if you type -th:3 in that spot that should do what you want to. In the case I mention that would limit you to 3 threads, you can type any number you want there of course. If you type 0 it will use all threads.

I don't use the command line much so if I'm in error anywhere here let me know.
