Description This is my first experiment with "LAMH 2 Iray Catalyzer".  I have never been able to use more than one LAMH animal in Iray without it crashing.  It rendered in about 5 min (super fast compared to all my other LAMH Iray experiments).  No having to convert LAMH to objects.  I am in love with this product.

I'm jealous you can get any results at all with Catalyzer... I bought it and it just crashes as soon as I try to pose the wolf (or anything else) in an otherwise empty scene.
Maybe I can get some pointers in the forums.
I'd consider asking for a refund if I thought it would be a pain to deal with the store staff...

I hope they fix the problems soon

What version of DAZ studio are you using?

I've gotten it working with the current beta version; I think I have plugins installed on the current release version that are causing problems (maybe Octane? not sure)

I can see why you like it. It's doing a great job.

Your wolf pack looks cool & the scenery is fantastic. Great placement.

Thank you, This was my first experiment with "LAMH 2 Iray Catalyzer" and I just used a few of the elements of the "Jungle Construction Kit" to give it a background.

They're so pretty! I'm glad you got that, I'd wondered what you would do with the new fur toy.

Thank you,
I couldn't resist. LAMH was good, but it was such a pain to use with Iray.  Catalyzer is far from perfect, but it makes using hair in Iray much easier. Now we can have more than one furry creature in a scene at one time.  Plus the resulting fur seems much better and rendering is blazing fast.

That looks awesome is it easy to use?

Thank you,
It's very easy to use and much easier that the old method of converting the LAMH fur to an object to render in Iray.  Plus the results are much better,  It is kind of buggy, but it's the first version.

I'm sure DAZ will include it again in one of their perpetual cycles of sales

They look so realistic! The texture of their fur is just gorgeous, and you've chosen very natural poses for them as well.

Thank you, I am very pleased with this first test.  I think the hair on the front one looks the best.

I knew you would grab the new LAMH, so glad to hear it is easier. will be trying it out soon

JoePingleton In reply to Synthetik3 [2017-08-10 01:28:34 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't resist since LAMH is such a pain to use with Iray.  There are still some bugs to be worked out. It took me three attempts to render this because it crashed DAZ several times and I couldn't reopen the files.  I can't reopen this file, but I saved another version with just the wolves and it opens.  I tried to add a squirrel and it crashed.  Still lots of problems that I hope get fixed in later versions.
