Maya Culling/Sorting issue

Moofy

I'm making hair cards in Maya and i'm getting a weird issue with the culling/sorting of the cards I assume since they're transparent. Does anyone know why this is happening/have any solutions. 

Here's a gif of one of the problems:

also another symptom is that I have the hair chunks placed in a triangle (viewed from top down) to give the hair chunk some depth. But the view port is only showing the cards in front when the rear card isn't visible anymore.



If any more information is needed, feel free to ask. Thankyou.

Hair cards are never rendered as transparent because of this exact issue. I not sure if its possible in maya, but you should use alpha test / cutout instead of transparency. This is how its solved in real time rendering.

Have you tried depth peeling in viewport 2.0 options?

Huge play my guy! Thank you very much. This worked. I'm still getting used to Maya so learning all the little things it has different to Max is proving to be tricky since i just don't know what i'm meant to be looking for. Thank you again.
