Hello,

I'm having a problem with Maya hair in VRay. I have a character that, solo, will render in about 20 minutes, but with a beard, mustache, eyebrows and a bit of his back hair showing suddenly took 11 hours. O_o Its using the default hair shader. I'm tinkering with the VRay Hairshader3 now, but I needed help in seriously optimizing this.

Unfortunately rendering is done by someone else so I can't really do major changes to the light set-up or the materials used

Thanks in advance, everyone
