Hi,

I have a scene where two animated character interact. One has fur and one doesn't. The one that does NOT have fur is in the scene first and later the character WITH fur comes into the scene.

Why is Maya calculating the character with fur even though he's not on camera? Visible in reflections and refractions is turned off for the fur shape.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks,

Scott

What happens if you animate the visibility of the FurFeedback node? I dont think that fur is computed when it is not visible.
