Hey all,

Thanks for all your help in my previous thread.  It really helped a ton and I'm learning a lot.  I have a more specific question this time around.

I'm trying to render hair as if the face was still there (to block the back part) so that I can composite different hairs onto the same face.   I've opened up the properties window on the head and unchecked "Visible" and although it looks like how I want in the preview cam, when I render it, you can see the back of the hair.

Here's a picture to show what I mean:

Is it possible to do what I want to do?  If I have 10 different hair styles / colours and 10 different make-up styles, we're looking at over 100 renders versus just 20, so ideally we can get this working.  :P

Thanks guys!
