Hair shows 50% transparent outside of objects it grows on
Hey guys,
I don’t know what is going on here but I have hair grown on a model and when I render it, it seems the hair that is visible away from the surface of the model on which it grows is showing up at about 50% transparent, depending on the lightness of the background. In fact, if I render the hair on the model up against NO background, it doesn’t render outside of the model it’s grown on.
Also, the transparency level of the hair seems to depend on the background against which it’s being rendered….Hmmmmm!
I’ve tried setting transparency, adding more lights….nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I’ve never seen that myself. Can you post the scene?

Here is a screen shot of the issue…
The grayish square behind the head is an object I used as a background and is positioned so it wouldn’t be entirely behind the character so you can see when the hair goes in front of the background, it disappears.
On the transparency issue, it seams that putting lights in front of the hair resolved it but frankly, all of this doesn’t make any sense……bugs?
What do you think?
Thanks,
Brian
