VRay Render Times With Toon Material vs. MR

[leejk]

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm is this is expected behavior or not. When using a 3ds max toon material in vray's global material override slot, my render takes about 14 minutes. If I switch over to mental ray and use the same material in mr's override slot, the same render takes about 15 seconds! So my question is, are there some particular tricks to speed up vray or is this typical?

thx

It is expected. When used with V-Ray, the 3ds Max toon material uses 3ds Max's own internal raytracing engine, which is far from quick. When used with mental ray, the material uses a specific mental ray shader using mental ray's own raytracing engine.

Best regards,
