Ok... now that I got your attention :) here are some explanations... This is NOT a solution, just a workaround that seems to be working in most situation. After playing with settings around that annoying problem (I came across it in my last image actually), I found a way to dramatically reduce these artefacts. For all materials affected by this issue (in this example : Hair, Eyelashes, Eyes, Upper Eyebrows) 1- Open the material editor 2- Select 'Transparency' 3- Set refraction index to 1.01 (or .99)... slightly above or below 1.0 (which seems to be causing the problem). 4- Unckeck 'Show caustics' 5- Set 'Turn reflective with angle' to 0% 6- Set 'Fading out' to 0% and set Light and Fade out colors to Black 7- Try rendering again and appreciate the difference.
