Paint fx Rendering with mentalray

[djpitha]

Hi, i am having problems with Paint fx when rendering with mentalray . It is taking too long to render. Does paint fx in have any special options for rendering with mentalray

[enro]

for u could be better to use vue xstream to use vue infinite's power with mental ray's power...:D

As for me, I'm render all PFX with MayaSoftware and then compose all my sequence. It gives a lot of flexebility in color correction and also save render time, cause I render beauty pass and PFX pass on different workstations

I believe pfx's geometries are very expansive at render time because they often are intricated ones, causing fg to compute much additional rays. Did you try to lower fg settings or put overrides on the faulty surfaces ? eg bigger radius ?

hi!
recently found a bug wich caused rendering times 10x, and discussed it with Duncan.

So never ever set the rightmost handle to zero in Tubes->Growth->Twigs->Twig Lenght Scale widget.

It causes bad polygon geometry to be created.
Hope it helps a bit.

It's a great site!
