should be used to best take advantage of the CPUs (or cores) on
your workstation. This option is on by default.
- Render Threads
-
Specifies the number of rendering threads to
be used by mental ray for Maya for rendering. Use a thread for each
CPU you utilize on the local host.
- Auto Tiling
-
Turn on this option to automatically determine the
optimal tile size at render time.
- Task Size
-
Pixel

Network
Used
for network rendering only.
Select one of these options to determine whether
the local machine renders the scene, or whether the slaves render
the scene.
- Render on the local machine
-
Select this option so that the local machine participates
in rendering the scene.
- Render on network machines
-
Select this option so that the networked machine(s)
participate in rendering the scene. This is useful in reducing the
workload on the master machine while Maya is also running.
TipTo render on all available machines, select both
the Render on the local machine and Render
on network machines options.
