Hey everyone, I need a hand. I have a pflow setup using sprites with a texture mapped into the transparency channel. Everything seemed to be working out ok until I turned on my atmospheric fog. I am using the normal 3dsmax Volume fog and I seem to get weird issues with my transparency (see images). I am in max2010 and rendering with MR. Anybody have this issue before or know anyway to fix it?
Thanks for the help.

Dave.

Haven't seen it before, but messing around with it for a minute, I was able to get it to work, at least for me anyway.

Enable Exponential in the Volume Fog

and

Turn on AutoVolume in Mental Ray

Little example: Has volume light and volume fog in it (only one is activated currently)

John,
I really appreciate the help, turning on Exponential and Auto Volume seemed to do the trick. Thanks again!
