using two processors

Posted by Yaely on August 23, 2008 at 1:20am
hello, I wonder how can I speed up rendering. Im running on intel mac os x 10.5.4 and when I look at my activity monitor, I see that studio artist is using only one processor (PowerPc). is there a way to turn intel on?

    It depends on what in particular you are running. The main paint synthesizer execution loop is not threaded, so that will use one processor. However, depending on what is going on in the paint patch you may see some threading. Many of the brush load options will thread the brush load computation.

    Image Processing operations like the rank area filters thread. The Vectorizer threads. Morphs and Warps thread. So it depends on what you are doing. The threading will occur when it does on both PPC and intel machines.
