Maya Hair rendering problem

[nihonjung]

hi,
just simple hair scene is good and faster than mentalray.
but a lot of Maya hair need render time more than mentalray.
our scene render on mentalray 4G memory with raytracing mentalray
use 7 ~ 8min but vray not end more than 15min...
we wait for vray for maya version which more than faster mentalray.

and vray support phairTK shader is expected.

When rendering lots of hairs it's important to increase the "Dynamic memory limit" parameter in the V-Ray System rollout. The default is 400 MB which may be too low. Depending on the actual physical RAM installed, try higher values.

thanks! I can render scene with more memory option. and render time same with mentalray.

but maya hair shader looks not good. and we use mentalray shader like below comment.
would you make original shader of vray looking good more than maya shader? and faster ^-^

regards Jung.

Hm, it should look fairly close. Can you post some images?

Best regards,

The test I remember to have done gives more quality in Vray than in Mental Ray, specially in the anisotropic brights of the hair...

Respect the render times, I really doesn't pay attention to it.
