Automatically sets process priority and affinity ( the number of\u00a0 CPU cores the render process uses) at render start. Restores the initial settings when the rendering is done. Can be configured to run in a complete transparent\u00a0 No-UI mode, which is launched right after 3ds Max has started. This keeps your workstation responsive for other tasks while rendering. A second 3ds Max session stays responsive and can be used to continue work on different tasks.<\/p>\n<p>A look at the following screenshot will probably tell more than thousand words:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/08\/PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3033\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/08\/PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017.png\" alt=\"PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017\" width=\"1022\" height=\"829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017.png 1022w, https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017-384x311.png 384w, https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PowerCoreTools_At_Work_2017-768x623.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--break--><\/p>\n<p><strong>CONFIGURATION &amp; USAGE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the tooltip pop-up&#8217;s on the UI elements for detailed info. As this is a tool for advanced usage, basic knowledge of CPU priorities and affinity settings are presumed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INSTALLATION:<\/strong><br \/>\nJust use the install package ( the xxx.mzp file) and drop it onto your 3ds Max viewport. Choose one of the install options and the tool is ready to be used. A 3ds Max restart might be required. The install package provides an uninstall option too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELEASENOTES:<\/strong><br \/>\nNew features in V1.2 are 3ds Max 2017+ compatbility and support for 3ds Max&#8217;s ART renderer. Currently MaxToArnold is limited, as this renderer manages\u00a0 CPU resource usage by itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/?download=PowerCoreTools%20%28latest%20version%29\">https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/?download=PowerCoreTools (latest version)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PowerCoreTools V1.2 released ( Update : obsolete Link fixed ) Just released version 1.2 of my PowerCoreTools CPU managment script for 3ds Max A tool to control CPU usage while 3ds Max is rendering.
