Quote - Some users have reported that a complete animal's-worth of hair is too taxing for their machines to render. I have no experience to offer personally, but I'd advise keeping the hair as simple as you can.

I tried the Gorilla Fur thing on the Milli Gorilli. It didn't affect the render time too bad but it made animating a chore. What i ended up doing was animating a naked gorilla and saving the pose, then applying the pose to the hairy gorilla
