is AS Pro multi-threaded yet?

[rogermate]

With all these core2 and QuadCore CPUs out there, just wondered if anyone knows whether this application is multi-threaded so that it takes advantage of multi CPU cores.

If anime Studio is multi-threaded?

I don't think it is. However, I've been experimenting with batch command-line rendering in a program I've been starting to work on. If I can create a multi-threaded program, and have each thread render a separate scene file, that would be as close as it would ever get. I still don't know if that would even work, though.

Do you mean you're writing your own program like 'Anime Studio'? Or are you trying to write a program which would divide the rendering of an .anme into a number of calls to AS? The latter could be done on the same PC thus possibly using all cores / processors on one PC, but it could also be used to spread the rendering among a network of PCs.

Interesting Idea.

The latter one. Competing with Anime Studio is useless. AS is already the best there is.

That was the eventual goal. The plan is to create a cross-platform application that can render one AS project per core, per CPU, per networked computer. I first have to see if it's possible, though.
