Hi: 

I went to do some illumination baking in Vue 10 and noticed that is only using a fraction of my processing power for the Illum. bake. It is ignoring all threaded cores completely, and only using a small percentage of the four real cores. 

Any idea why, and any known way to force it to use all cores? I can't see how this would be a GPU assigned task, so I'm at a loss. If it would just use all of a computer's capabilities (as at render time), it surely would be done in a fraction of the time. 

Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated. **Thanks! **

when my Vue does that, I usually have to close Vue, close all other windows, open task manager/services, make sure there's nothing else running that might be causing a strain on Vue...

 

then i reopen Vue,, go to task manager/processes...rightclick on Vue, make sure its priority is set to 'normal'

This will happen when Vue is first loaded even.  It's as if they didn't write the code to take advantage of all the cores when Illum. baking or something.  I just tried it with a freshly loaded scne and CPU usage is only at the 12% I previously mentioned.

Now if Vue would let you work on something else inside it while it was baking that would fine, but this seems like such a waste.
