frantic deadline only use 2 cores??!

[cheebamonkey]

hi!

i've set up a little renderfarm in our office using frantic deadline as a renderfarm manager. all works fine, but: on the 2 core machines there is a cpu load of 100%. on the 4 core machines there is only a cpu load of 50%. why is that? in the faq's on their website i can read:

go to maya batch render options and set the renderthreads to 4. i've done that, rendered it localy, cpu load is at 100%, but still not with deadline. any solutions?

thanks in advance.

have you tried sending them an email or posting in their forums?

i was blind. in the job submission dialog there is an advanced options tab and under that tab the option 'cpus to use'.
