Unruly hair strands
Added 2025-01-04 01:41:33 +0000 UTCAs I worked on the fur, it seemed oddly slow every time I saw it's preview or did a render. I prepared to render the animation and rendered a single frame for the test slap animation. A single frame took about 2 min. and 40 sec. I didn't really think more about it than, this is going to take a really long time. Then I rendered the second frame and I noticed that each individual hair strand had changed shape.
I looked more into the modifiers that procedurally change the hair and turned them off. It immediately removed the constant moving of hair, and render time of a single frame went from around 2 min. and 40 sec. to 40 sec.
Now I just have to turn the different modifiers back on, and see what need to stay off to have a reasonable render time and what keeps the hair strands calm.
