Transparency issue

Hello

I have a scene with a hair setup, and a sphere that is moving the hair around.  I then put a plane with an image that has an alpha channel.  The plane is a child of the sphere so it looks like the image on the plane is moving the hair.
The issue I’m having is with the alpha of the image, which becomes partially visible on top of the hair.
In PS it looks like my image had a solid Alpha, so could it be something that has to do with the Hair renderer?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

Use instead of a Gradient in the material the Hair-Shader (not to confuse with the Hair Material)

All the best

P.S.: I will be back on Tuesday morning.
