Macbook Pro i7 CPU Fan 100%?

#1

I don’t understand why ZBrush and Sculptris both cause the CPU Fan to be at 100% at minimal usage all the time? Basically just opening the apps and then moving the mouse causes this. I’m running a 2.0 i7 MBP 10.6.8. These are the only two 3d applications that cause this problem for me, and renders both applications unusable. What’s going on with these programs to cause this?

#2

Does anyone else running zbrush on mac have this problem?

#3

Doing the same thing in Windows via Fusion… not a problem. However the problem is that I’m supposed to be able to use ZBrush in OS X and not have to use the Windows version…

#4

Even worse with 4R5 now… this is just launching Zbrush, and not even touching any part of the interface!

hi, I had the same issue with Sculptris on Macbook Pro i7 cpu and managed to solve it by setting “mt_maxthreads 1” in the config.txt file :wink:
