Mermaid Tailspin

OK. So I have the Laguna Mermaid Set and want to apply it to a G3 Female figure.

The figure displays just fine in the viewport using the NVIDIA Iray Drawstyle, including the Fanta Sea Hair.

But as soon as I load the mermaid tail, it just causes my computer to run at high speed, fans spinning like crazy (thus the pun in the post's title) and never ever get to the point where it displays the Iray preview.

Is there something I can adjust on the Laguna Mermaid Set that will make it display in the Iray Viewport Preview fairly quickly? The system just runs and runs and never displays Iray. 

I don't have this problem with any other geoshell or clothing items, and I have hundreds (the mermaid tail is a geoshell) with fitted tail wardrobe?

Also want to mention when I change the Viewport Drawstyle to Filament, the mermaid tail keeps cycling about like a Christmas tree lights blinking on and off where the tail sections are highlighted in consecutive order. I'm not sure how to describe it but it seems to be stuck in a loop in Filament and never gets to the point of rendering the preview either.

Please help!

    I should also add that I can render the mermaid just fine. It's just the Veiwport window that I am having the issue with.

    If it can render an Iray image just fine, why would the Viewport Iray Drawstyle be an issue? That's where the computer revs up and gets stuck. And it makes it very difficult to work with the mermaid because I cannot see a preview of the scene before the final render.

    I get the same, but renders are okay. I tried with just the tail and a body texture, no hair, thinking maybe it was a memory problem, but, no.

    However, after making a render, the Iray preview worked properly. Have you tried that?

    Wow! You were so right about that!

    Thank you. At least there is a workaround. And extra step to start when first loaded, and then good to go.
