I have a max scene with alot of hair in it. Krakatoa takes about 5-10 mins to load the hair ( I am using the max hair and fur), but renders pretty quickly. When I send the render to deadline, should I be sending large frame chunks so that krakatoa only has to load the particles once for every N frame chunk or does this not matter at all?
If the hair is different on each frame, it has to be generated on each frame. Regardless of the task size, Krakatoa will have to load all particles on every frame.
The slow part of rendering 3ds Max Hair&Fur with Krakatoa is the hidden saving of a temp. file to disk and then the reading of that file. The larger the hair count, the larger the file.
