Hi all. Not exactly new to Carrara, but haven't used it for over a year so a bit rusty. Just got 8.5 and am refamiliarising myself with it. A few questions...

Can you adjust the bucket size when rendering?

Can you set the number of threads?

Problem is, my GPU drivers are a bit... enthusiastic. Carrara autodetected the available threads for my CPU (12) but then proceeeds to use all available capacity for the render. That means if I do what I'm doing now (playing on the net) it will start to shut down other operations and the mouse gets laggy. I had to set the max threads to 10 for Poser renders to avoid this, but can't see how to do it on Carrara (if it can be done at all).

 

Cheers
