Hair and Fur scene that did render, won't render anymore

[Brute Guy]

Hi All,

 

I am having an ongoing issue with a hair and fur scene.

 

I am revisiting an old scene to render (for arguments sake) a ball with fur on. The old scenes have had no issues rendering.

 

The issue occurs when I open up these old scenes, add a new camera, move a few non fur parts and then try and hit render.

 

Either, I get an out of memory error dialogue, an 021017 sending to host error failed, or an error about 'no photons stored after emitting 1000000 photons' or the scene just hangs for hours then crashes.

 

This has happened a few times in the past, and I just now just anticipate that I can only use a scene once before I have to painstakingly rebuild it again.... Every time:eek:

 

Anyway, any help would be grateful on this subject.

 

Thanks,
