Though Beast seems great and all the processors are peaked while running,
Umbra uses only a single processor core.
Are there any plans to develop multi-threading for this program?
This is a prime candidate for improvement in future versions of Unity, although I can’t give you any kind of timescale at the moment.
Bump!
It looks like Umbra is using some of my processors. The total average CPU use anyway is only 10%.
This means the rendering process could be around 8-10 times faster, right?
And from Unite’s announcement we are talking about much much faster in 3.5!
I have to admit I have hopes it could end up being a useful asset in the production pipeline in 3.5. It’s just unfortunate it will be released over a year after first introduced… and dozens of hours lost to figure out it just doesn’t work with more complex environment than an outdoor city with blocks.
Ahhhh THAT’S great news 
thanks PolishR!
