kicking in the turbo

Ok it has dawned on me that for some reason AM is currently using only one of my cores on my quad core machine , is there a way to tell AM to use other cores to speed up its rendering time or is it just set to 1 for a reason .

You know that software has to be programmed in a special way to use more than one core, right? A:M had / has the abillity to use more than one core for rendering, but it wasnt working for all people.

What is working for all people is to open A:M several times and render with that.

This will give you approximatly 3,5 - 3,7 times faster renderings than only with one core.

 

You can activate more than one core-rendering with one instance too in the Registery by manually setting the thread there, but I wouldnt recommend that. It is slower and more trouble than using several instances of A:M. I recommend to use only n-1 cores so. (3 in your case) That will make the system more stable.

 

Just open up 3-4 instances of A:M and you should get what you are asking for.
