  Does this mean anything? I've never seen this message: 
  2026-04-30 18:37:43.593 [WARNING] :: \src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(373): Iray [WARNING] - TRIT:GEOMETRY ::   1.0   TRIT   geo  warn : Object DS_shape_4406_2858: the parametric approximation level is set to 3. The original value of 5 would produce too much geometry in a single mesh.

  And otherwise these messages come up?

  I haven't read the log file in a while so I'm kind of out of the loop on what's going on here. Maybe 4096x4096 is too high resolution and I should try manually lowering the file sizes?
  
  The mask is 3 seperate G9 geoshells so I don't think decimator or that file/scene compression product for Daz Studio would work here

  I tried using scene optimizer to shrink the file sizes for these mask parts and it still will not preview in Iray. Only this mask, everything else works fine.

  Some geoshell products like for example the vellus hair product https://www.daz3d.com/vellus-horizon-20-for-genesis-9 have a displacement channel with an additional subdivision setting. I think this then goes on top of the subdivision for the character you have already set. Try looking for these, or try reducing the character subdivision.

  I think that could be it, I see a "subD displacement level" I don't usually see, so I'll try some T&E, thank you!
