Reply To: Piero: Cycles Hair Shape Settings in Blender 2.90

You’ve been immensely helpful as I’ve been working my way through this course, Duerer! Thank you so much! I’m having a problem I’m wondering if you might be able to solve. My particle systems are rendering with black “strings” attached to every instance of the object (feathers) and hair particles. You can see it particularly in the hair system and at the edges of the feathers. Any idea what this is from and how to solve it? The images show the materials I’m using for the hair system and feather system as well as the particle settings. I’ve circled some of the dark areas, which are the “strings.” I’m also including images of the model in solid and material preview modes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
