Transparent Plane in Rolling Fog - Edge Renders

[Anonymous]

I'm creating a piece that has the theme of going 2-D to 3-D to Live action in Maya 2015. When I use my .png/.tif's on cards/planes the transparent area of the picture shows up when I add the rolling fog from the visor. I've tried different lights and so on. I got it to be less predominant, but it's still there. I have spot lights and the plane has been changed to a Blinn without any specular (from Lambert) as my teacher suggested. But it's still there and I've tried messing with several parameters. I need to start the render of that part, like now. Can anyone help, soon, please and thank you. Pictures are attached.

try turning shadow attenuation to zero in the blinn attributes

First of all, thank you for responding... secondly, I did try that, but the edge is still showing up that little bit.

is the blinn reflection completely off?

I beleive so, yes

Hum, hard to pin point the problem, maybe you could try using a Mia_material X and use the pnj transparency into "Advance">cutout opacity.

Maybe transparency doesnt work that well with fog....I'm not sure

I think that your suggestion of the mia may have worked, I'm not having some other difficulties not letting me render at all at the moment, once I fix that, I will let you know for sure. If it did work, I will be so glad.
