I have a quad core. How do I set up Vue 6 Infinite to use all four processors when rendering?

it does it automatically I believe (mine uses both cores and I assume it's the same for a Quad)

If you look in the status bar in Vue you'll see it will have detected your multiple cpu's  
Mine says 2CPU cuz I'm slumming it with 2 ;-)

Yup, ck your status bar at the bottom right of screen.  Should say 4cpu's

On my Mac Quad, Vue automatically renders on all four cores a little too well. It gets all four CPUs roasting at 100% and the fans start roaring like an F-16 jet ready for takeoff. I actually wish there were a way I could throttle it back at times to something less aggressive like setting the CPUs at 90% or something like that. Does anyone know of a way to do this? (Someone suggested the possibility of an app that idly consumes CPU resources but doesn't actually use them....? Any clues?) btw, this doesn't happen all of the time. Sometimes all four CPUs render along at 100% rather quietly so I'm not sure what causes the fans to kick in sometimes (radiosity?). Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, I see it now.

My status bar shows 2 processors. Afterburners on!!

Yeah,it shows them,but I have noticed that in other apps like Cinema and Poser both you will get mutithreads,while Vue only shows 1 line...

That's what threw me: the one line renders. It's a matter of faith, I guess...

Hey, my new rig chews through renders 10 to 11 times faster than my P4 did! So I'm happy, just get a very cool case, liek an Antec Gammer 900 ;)

I never did get any use out of Vue 5 Infinte, so there's nothing for me to compare with. It should be said that Vue 6 Infinite works well on my new system, except for a few glitches.

Well,odds are that it isnt your system causing the glitches(; I am sure NORAD would have glitches on there system using Vue :D

I'm using a Logitech G15 keyboard with display. Most of times i monitor on this display the CPU and RAM bar usage in realtime.
Running a Q6600 CPU with 4 cores, the CPU bar is sliced into 4 bars and i can tell anytime, how much percentage each core gets used.

When rendering an image, my Vue 6.5 Infinite (64bit installation) shows the use of each core with full 100%.
The renderspeeds using all 4 cores give me a good render time advantage compared to my 2Core AMD CPU before this one ...
All of my images done in the last 3 month are rendered in 2000x1600 size - and just about all of them took no longer than 2 hours - most of them were calculated in about 30 minutes.
Sure always depending on the settings and detail of a scene, logical.
But still i'm very satisfied with Vue and multicore usage.

My rendertimes are mostly shorter, too, because, for instance, instead of using the radiosity setting of a chosen atmosphere, i'll try to simulate the look and feel of the radiosity scene look by switching to global ambience and play with the light strength and light balance sliders - i can get it really close looking to radiosity - not for all sceneries, but for a lot of them ...

Kilanor,
well, my 6600 quad core renders ten times faster than my P4, 3GHz, so I'm a very happy man :p
