G2 render time question.

Dave2

Today I first time tried Genesis 2 generation and i have a question. Scene: Michael6HD default mats, some clothing, and UberEnvironment2 + 3 distant lights as lighting. Render starts fast, finished hat and hair in a few sec and then stuck for 30 min(!) as it touched Michael skin. Totally stuck, 100% CPU load, but no progress. After ~30 min of thinking it continued to work and finished whole pic in about 5 min. Same with V6. So, here is a question, is this normal for G2 or I have something is not working properly?

Its usual for all materials that have subsurface scattering (like M6 or V6). Rendering or "making the picture" stops when it hits the SSS material and continues after SSS calculations are finished.
