Thanks J.C. We are about to take a rather large contract for our facility size with a very tight budget. After evaluating HD Apprentice we see no better alternative than Houdini to tackle the massive amount of work we have ahead. We haven't tried the EC2 Cloud yet, but the pricing seems very reasonable. Having said that we are still going to need a render farm for compositing and our other apps, so it would be real nice to know if we can put 5 to 10 of these 48 core machines and be able to use every last core on them for render. I'll wait to see if someone at Side FX can answer this. Thanks again -JV

Hello,

I have looked for an answer to this question in this forum and couldn't find one, so I apologize in advance if it has been answered already:

What is the maximum number of cores per system that Houdini/Mantra can use to render? I ask because there is a quad socket mobo that can take in 4x12 core AMD CPUs. OS will be Windows 7. Thanks to all for your support. -JV
