On all previous renders in C4D I get two rendering regions (bars) rendering down at the same time. I assumed that these were each processor rendering seperately. Perhaps I'm wrong about this.
On the render I'm doing at the moment, it is just rendering top to bottom like Poser.
What's happening here?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you you have Multithreading enabled. In Carrara, renderings are done with tiles. You'll see different colored tiles for each processor on the job. (or just gray ones if you're using additional render nodes) Mark

Oops, posted to the wrong forum, but I suppose the same question applies to any program that can use duel processors.

Thanks.
I haven't changed any setting, but how can I check the multithreading thing?

Thanks again. I guess C4D has the same options. Will check out once this painfully long render finishes.

p.s. mark - I noticed that the last animation I did was rendering each frame thrice. then I looked at render options and found I had inadvertently checked motion blur. the effect isn't very noticeable, but it makes the animation look more natural than one without blur.
