Hi,
unfortunately I have to use old max 7 with old mental ray, I wonder why
mental usues ony two cores during render - I see only 2 buckets,
but I have 8 cores.

In mental ray log window i see:
CPU: 8, Threads: 2

I am using 3ds max 7 on Windows 7 64bit.

I tried with vray 1.46 and it usues correct 8 cores.

Do You have any ideas?
Thanks in advance…
