Hi.
Quick question:
I'm trying to break down my hair render into passes. I'm using the
volume renderer for the hair.
My first pass is my usual geometry pass in which I want to include
normal geometry and lighting, and the shadows from the hair. So I
thought I'd leave the hair visible with its primary and secondary rays
turned off. Shadows are left on. But I get strange shadow results.
Most of the scalp has no shadow on it whatsoever but starting at the
nose level, I can see a hard line and then shadows from the hair.
I'm not using any shadow maps. They're turned off in the render options
for the pass just to be sure. Shadows are set to segmented.
Here's an image:

Anyone know whats up with this? If at all possible I want to use the
volume type and not have to switch to geometry.
Thanks.
