Why would a Gen 8 figure cause render to hang?

Hi am in trying to render a a scene with about 10  Gen8 characters in 3ddelight.  The render kept hanging at 22%  so I started rendering the chracters individually, and I was able to isolate the one that makes the render hang. The Gen 8 figure is a Trystan but i have tweaked a bunch of this including surfaces.  I have looked it over but I dont see anything wrong, what might cause a render to hang? thanks

    I was going to say it's the 10 figures in the scene, LOL. Try different skins or zero out the morphs to try and find the issue.

    What hairstyle do you have on Trystan? That's been the biggest timesuck for me with Genesis 8 renders.

    As far as I know, 3Delight is not the fastest engine rendering opacity and especially an afro has alot of semi transparent mesh.

    This is made exponentially worse if you're using the Uber Environment lighting with 3Delight.

    10 figures being Gen8 is not the cause, look my example, Genesis One hang my work with a simple shaders changing from 3Delight to iRay MDL shaders on the pants...

    If you can stand to comit the time. Try renderng the scene without the wig and see if it still hangs. I'm voting with the other user who pointed out the wig. That's not an easy-to-render wig.

    And, just to mention it, have you checked if every surface of the afro is 3DL (conform) shaded, I've already experienced 3DL presets which applied an Iray shader, sometimes just on one surface...

    I've been having this happen with only two or three characters. I think it's been happening more since I upgraded to DS 4.11. I didn't really see it happenng before.

    I only have DAZ Studio 4.11+ hang now when it can't create more swap...
