Problem with Shave and a Haircut

Krisonrik

I am trying to use shave and a haircut with one of my model. I'm running Maya 2008. Somehow, shave is having some problem with SSS_fast_skin mental ray shader. 1st I ran try to render it would say "fatal error, Attempting to save in (temp folder)" and maya would crash. I searched around and find that if I turn off triple buffering in openGL option in my graphics driver, it would render it out. But then the same fatal error would occur when I put a normal blinn into the scene. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Without shave hair, the scene would render fine. Would someone please give me some tips on this please? Thanks.

well Ive never used shave and a haircut before(..or maya), but we always do a seperate scanline pass for hair with matte objects since it speeds things up 10x. maybe you could give that workflow a go? it'd solve the issue with SSS, and GI could be done with proxy objects

Thanks for the tip, but if you want to ray trace the how would I approach with that pass method?
