Hair pre-processing

["Michael Bentitou" <michaelb(at)hybride.com>]

Is there any way to cache the ‘hair pre-processing’ and ‘hair generation boxes’ when previewing/rendering ?

 

I have 15 hair objects with a fair amount on each of them and they’re all static – no dynamics. It takes a pretty long time doing the pre-process. I have 4 passes in the scene so logically I should be able to process the scene once so the other passes can read from the cache instead of re-reprocessing everything.

 

Is there any way to do this ?
