  8. I always found 2 problems with this method. First it can create noticeable bald spots. Second it creates the possibility of depth buffer fighting. Since a game engine has to render a frame every 60th a second, it's calculation needs to be fast. When you have 16 or more alpha maps on top of each other, it takes too long for the graphics card to calculate the pixel, so it just stops after a certain point. This is if it didn't fail in the initial pass due to conflicting depth calculations which creates a very undesirable look.
    Modern games use a number of techniques. First they can use a hair plugin that does the hair as a pass after the initial drawing of the frame. Second they can make geometric shapes that look like locks of hair, then texture those. Third they may sculpt the hair directly on the head, then use a couple planes to signify the strands.
