Fur Only Accepts 10 Attribute Maps!

[jp-mardonez]

Hi there,

I've been working with maya fur for several years now, but just now I encountered this problem...I'm working on a furry character and mapped 10 attributes directly in the details section just as always. But if I map another file, Fur just wont render. Tried downsizing the maps (which are 1k iff files), but the problem persists.

...Obvuisly if Im trying to map over 10 maps is because they contribute to get a better result.

This is not a memory problem since I'm working on a Quad opteron, 4gig ram machine.

I'm using maya software to render since it's fast as hell to render huge amounts of hairs.

Tried with Maya 7 and 8 and they both crash.

Anybody had the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

Well, seems nobody here mapped over 10 files into a fur description....so I will answer myself.

Workaround:

Picked the most important 10 attributes that needed to be painted in order to get the best result. The others solved them using numerical input only.

Rendered in passes with maya software, color, specular and ambient occlusion.

Cheers.
