Help with some Render issues time with hair (Have picture of the hair)

foxyfoxfurries

Hello!!! :)
I really love this model and the hair looks fit on her so much (the hair come with the model btw)

When I render it without the hair it takes 1-2min , but when I put this hair it takes 10-11min...
And for some reason when I get closed to the hair it takes even more time to render like 5min more..

Any one know maybe why? or if I can make the rendering even faster? I use ASUS TI 3080.

Thanks!!! :)

If the hair is taking longer (which is reasonable given that it is adding lots of overlapping, glossy, light-coloured geometry which is going to bopunce the light paths around) then zooming in , so the hair accounts for more pixels, will further slow the render down. Most approaches to hair are going to noticeably slow rendering, especially shiny and/or light coloured hair.

Ok thanks! How can I try to do it? On render settings?

Anything you do to speed the render is likely to have at least some impact on quality. You could try lowering the convergence ratio, on the assumption that if the hair is the last thing to finish everything else should have gone to or past the original degree of convergence by the time the hair completes and thw hair may not look too bad with a little extra noise. You could try adjusting the Max Path Length to a value greater than 0, which may cut down on  how long a path stays in the hair - make it at least 6 or 7 though, or the eyes will look bad.

Thank you so much!!! :)
Well I think I will stick to the real hair with the high quality , 10min more render time wont kills me but wanted to try any why hehe

Thank you so much my friend for the idea and help! :)
