Heya folks!

I've run into a problem rendering a scene in Carrara and was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to fix it.

I have a spooky scene I was making and threw in some fog. I went in to do some close up renders on my model, and the transparency maps for her hair and eyebrows were showing! It made her hair look like it was covered in scotch tape. I took away the fog, and the scene rendered like normal.

I tried both Carrara 5 and 6's fog elements and used the cloud haze from the realistic sky with a low altitude setting. I got the same effect every time. Is there something I can do to fix this aside from not having any fog?

Let me know what you all think. If not, I guess I can just render it sans fog.
