Is Fur a hastle?
Trying to render a character who's face has a fur attribute to it, with a density of some 40000. It takes a heck of a time to render, and so making changes is a real pain in the ass...
My question is: Is maya Fur worth the hastle. Renders sometimes crash among other anomolies...
When it does render, it looks good, but I cant help thinking that 15 + mins for a 640x480 image is taking the P a bit... Is fur really that expensive in terms of computing power? There isnt much on the web in the way of tutorials, so I am hoping someone here knows

And there I was moaning about 15-20 mins...
So I guess it is expensive...
Im half way through a project of my own, and Im really starting to wish I had not used fur. I see that te 5.1 update fix's a few fur issues, so lets hope it does.
Any tips for better fur set up?

Unless you have a super computer to use to render your images with paint effects, don't bother!

I, personally, haven't found a need for paint effects (yet). And even if I do, it will probably be done rendering one PE item at a time. So, is it a hassle? YES! But that's just IMHO.
