In general, we've found that MR in v6 renders a little softer with Gauss
3. For a fur scene using xsi's hair shader, i had to use mitchell 4,
Aliasing Min 0, Max 3, and sampling contrast 0.04 to keep the nice details.

I’ve increased the size of the hair and also decreased the
transparency a little. Seems better but not quite what I was getting
in 5.11.
I’ll fiddle some more see what I can come up with.

MR is a bit different in v6 vs. v5. Some of Holger's shaders in his
shader collection had to be adjusted to compensate. Maybe the muhair
shader needs some updating as well.

Argh! We had to switch from 5.11 to 6.01 and I now have the same issue!
My hair were just fine in 5.11 and now looks fluffy and more
transparent!
What I don't understand is that I use muhair so does it mean Mental Ray
does something different?!

You're right, it's way different. I can see how it might look better for
hair but for bird feathering it's lost that softness that works so well.
Looks awful. Oh well.

Yes, there is a difference.
When taking our Bell Beavers inside 6.01, we noticed they looked
better
and they took less time to render. Also, rasterizer doesn't seem to be
a very good alternative anymore. I haven't done many tests.

seeing a huge difference in a scene from a while back and I'm trying
to work
out if it's the scene or mental ray/xsi.
