I was amazed to see facegen doesn't make use of threading by default?

Is there a way to force it to?

Seems redundant - time is money.

Hi Gavin,

It's true, FaceGen does not currently make use of multithreading, partly
because it just hasn't been done yet, and partly because the PhotoFit
uses the GPU to speed up its calculations, and this would be a
bottleneck for multiple threads.

Best wishes,
