Jade's mohawk hair becomes transparent with smoke or fog particles in background.
I'm using Jade in a scene. She has elaborate hair with a Mohawk, which becomes partially transparent when there are smoke or fog particles in the background.

The image hair_and_smoke.jpg shows what happens.

The image hair_normal.jpg shows what the hair should look like.

I have tried adjusting Alpha Threshold and although this gets rid of the transparency it also affects the quality of the hair so it's not really a solution.

The issue is easy to reproduce (Render option must be set to "High"):

1. Load Jade, e.g., at [0.0.0]

2. Behind Jade, load the Big Smoke particle effect, e.g., at [0,500,0].

3. Have the camera look straight at Jade.

4. Play the scene. The Mohawk will disappear.

For the result see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBE4S0bgs6M .

My GPU is a GTX 1080 with the latest driver (382.53).

Here is a link to a simple test project to show the issue: http://www.virtualrealist.com/uploads/hair_and_smoke_and_dof.zip .

Interestingly, user toystorylab found that by changing the particle blend mode to "Addition" and having DOF enabled, the issue does not occur.

Raphael, unfortunately it is still not fixed. See attached image.

RL, this is really a major problem that should be given some priority.

I'm with the same terrible error. There is not a solution yet?

Just as a reminder, this is still an issue in 7.2, at least with the legacy particles.
