Compositing Hair and Fur - edge antialiasing problems?

[robkar97]

How are you supposed to do a composite with Hair and Fur? I've gone through the online manual and done all sorts of test renderings, but I always end up with dark edges of all hairs, so the compositing looks ugly.

 

See enclosed image.

Using Render Elements doesn't help.

 

Rendering hair only and saving as a png with alpha channels doesn't help

 

Going to Customize > Preferences > Rendering and then turn on Filter Background in the Background Antialiasing group doesn't help.

 

Changing to various Composite Method under Render Effects doesn't help.

 

I'm getting desperate! :-)

 

Both default scanline and mental ray gives me the same result... I would prefer mental ray if possible.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Cheers Rob

IN Photoshop...

click on your hair layer

then in Menu--->Layer-->Matting--Remove White(black) matte

 

In your case, Remove Black Matte.

Have a nice day
