hair alpha help??

hi,
I am having a problem getting hair alpha to display properly,
the arrows show the problem areas.
I have also shown the material setting.
anybody have any idea how to fix this??
thanks.
new Material(hair_alpha)
{
mapTo = base.c_hair_alpha;
diffuseMap[0] = "base.chair_alpha";
translucent[0] = true;
translucentBlendOp = LerpAlpha;
translucentzwrite[0] = true;
};

the hair is made up of elements, part of the body mesh.
it worked fine in 1.7.1
yes, it is double sided.
thanks for the comment, I like texturing, hell, its a part of my day job,
modeling too.

As soon as i possibly can, I will run some experiments to test some ideas. I have not yet used any mesh with alpha in T3D, i hope its not going to be a hassle.

Ah ok. Guess I will be rebuilding some Material definitions when that time come.

There are issues with alpha blend surfaces that are not using alpha test. We're looking into them for beta 3.

Also try changing the alphaRef = ##;, this should show you if it is an BUG, or issue with FOG or something else.
EDIT: Real good job with the mesh and texture work. Nice detail to the eyes.
EDIT:: Also it just occurred to me that you could try the doubleSided material flag.
