Quote - Yeah, I tried all the settings that were given me but unfortunately the hair kept coming out terribly. So, I just have to rough it out and let it do its thing to get the good renders. I guess it is better to take time and have quality work than to rush it and have something that you really aren't happy with.

Totally agree.

I've had to resort to rendering in layers... background, background with untextured figure(s), textured figures with no hair, textured figures with hair with no raytracing, raytraced hair all by itself... then composite all the layers in photoshop.

Or conversely, render the half of the scene that poser will render before stopping, rotate cameras 180 degrees and adjust the z/x settings and render upside down to get the bottom half. Rotate in photoshop and splice the two renders.

It's silly. But I'd rather do that than render on lower settings or at too small a resolution.

Some might say it's time to move to a render engine that's more suited to production work...
