max hangs on vrayfur render

[Dave Oliver]

i have a scene setup that works fine.

 

when i add vray fur it calculates indirect illumination indefinitely.

 

i can render an archexteriors scene with a large, dense, area of vray fur with no problem. so its not a memory issue.

 

when i replicate the settings in my scene, no luck.

 

anybody know of some specific setting that makes the vrayfur manageable to render?

[Carrotious]

i sympathise... i seem to have similar problems with fur and vraydisplacement

[Ricardo Eloy]

Could you please post your VRayFur settings?

is it down to what distribution method you use, i notice when its a distribution of per face it is much quicker than per area. Any thoughts on this.
