VRayFastSSS

Hi!

3ds max 2008
vray 1.5 rc3
Are there any guides for settings for the fastsss material. I am doing a full body character with displacement maps applied. Those maps are at 2048 and it works fine with the vray displacement modifier. I had a dermal and subdermal layer map at 2048 tiff each which stopped the render engine cold. I have since reduced these to 1024 80% quality jpg which helps a bit.

I understand to get a good result GI must be used. Even a test render at a small size and GI noise threshold at 0.05 (which is unusable) its taking a while. Its not uncommon to have at least four maps on a figure: dermal, subdermal, bump and at least specular, so with only 2 applied I have 2 to go!

I think my GI settings are sucking badly along with a good strategy to set up the material. Any help appreciated.
