Blender and multiple cores - Polyloop

gugesbri · 13th February 2009, 04:36

Does anyone know if blender supports multiple cores?
If so, can I assign the cores to blender?

Thanks in advance.

Blender support multi-core and multi-cpu for rendering only. (up to 8 with the official release)

If you do calculations of liquids, softbody/clothes, meshdeform, etc... only one core will be used...

Not entirely true Kagi. If you download and compile your own build of Blender it does indeed support multi-core for fluids at least. And 2.50 is expanding multi-core to all aspects of Blender. Even the interface.

That sounds awesome!
When can we expect 2.5?
