    Trouble with LightCache calculation

    Hello!
    I'm using 3dsMax 2008 and VRay render version 1.50.SP1. I used different version of VRay render before (such as: 1.48.03 Click here to enlarge - in 3dsMax7, and 1.5 RC3, 1.5 RC5). I'm using in GI for primary/secondary bounces Irradiance map / LightCache.
    And I encountered a problem with LightCache calculation in VRay 1.50.SP1. Sometimes calculation progress "stoped", but 3dsMax uses almost all CPU time (I mean almost all CPU busy. I saw it in the Windows Task Manager Click here to enlarge). There is no any calculation progress in that time but VRay increase the remaining render time. I can wait for progress in 40 - 60 minutes and VRay can increase the remaining time up to 28 hours Click here to enlarge without any progress... Click here to enlarge
    But, when I change the camera position in scene - LightCache can be done in 15 - 20 minutes with the same settings...
    I really don't know what cause this trouble Click here to enlarge
    Some details:
    You can see my PC configuration in my profile.
    I was rendered image with 1024x768 resolution and the LightCache settings when I get this trouble was:
    Subdivs - 450
    Sample size - 0.02
    Scale - screen
    Number of passes - 2
    Filter - Nearest
    Interp. Samples - 10
    After reading the VRay help about LightCache in http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150S...s_lightmap.htm I have changed LightCache settings to:
    Number of passes - 1
    Filter - None
    Pre-Filter - 10
    and I check "Use light cache for glossy rays" option.
    But I have the same result - excessive render times... Click here to enlarge
    Can anyone help me with this? Please leave your comments and advices anybody who know something about this trouble....
    Thanks
