Odd Iray Behaviour: not rendering at SubD 4

gibrril_fa945a6cee

Hi,

I'm experiencing weird Iray behaviour since today. I've rendered a scene with a figure at SubD 3. Just to check if there was a noticable difference, I wanted to render the same scene with the figure at SubD 4. So I just upped the SubD level on the figure and hit render again. Ever since, Iray won't let me render scens with characters at SubD 4. The render dialog freezes at the "rendering image" stage and never displays the Verbose information. Cancelling doesn't work. I have to close Daz Studio because it no longer responds...

How do I fix this?

Thanks a lot,

Me

That doesn't look like the render section of the log.

How long are you waiting?

Hi!

Thanks for the reply! It would appear some faulty shader was to blame. I took apart my scene and reassembled it part by part. Upon introducing a certain shader it went south again... Weird part: it was a shader I made myself, so I recreated that very same shader from scratch, saved it under a diferent name, applied that to the scene and now it renders again... The exact same shader, only a different name...

When it didn't render I waited up until 34 minutes. Nothing happened.

kind regards,

Me
