This has been a very confusing thread.

Esterau started by telling us

Quote - note the hair strands go dotty.
this is regardless of texture filtering on or off

The correct solution was to turn it on, but the initial claim was that having done so already it made no difference. Later we learn that this claim could not have been accurate, but some of us did not mention texture filtering because estherau established it from the start as not a factor, even though it is THE factor.

Then, having established that turning it on or off did not change anything, gmadone gave us the advice

Quote - That looks like texture filtering. It needs to be turned off for all trans maps.

This advice is incorrect and ignored the initial claim. I would have said that TF needs to be on, except I read that estherau already tried that and said it didn't make a difference. But remember, that was not true. Then, contradicting both of the advice and the claim that TF makes no difference, estherau said

Quote - well you put an idea in my head.  Just now I tried turning texture filtering onto highest setting for the transmap, and you will never guess what - the problem has resolved!

I don't know why I would never guess that, because it is what I would have guessed, but for the fact that the second post said TF makes no difference. Had I ignored the second post, I or Laurie would have said TF=ON would fix it, and nobody would have been confused.

Estherau, you seem to be unaware that you told us from the start that TF had nothing to do with it. All the stuff that came later is very confusing to people following this discussion.
