I need help with transparent Cutout Shader

Graphics Shaders & Materials
1

Hi there

I have made a plant with leaves that are a doublesided plane with an alphamap.
And I want to have the leaves to cast shadows.
The problem is, i just don’t get nice results with the cutout shaders.

see here:

790×409 26.2 KB

i would like to have this result just with shadows:

790×409 21.5 KB

this is the transparent diffuse shader
the plant looks good but no shadow.

so what i need is some kind of mix between these shaders… can somebody help me?

i dont mind the rough edges with the cutout shader but what i want is that the model is nicely lit and the most important thing that you don’t see the planes.(or just not so significant)

Can you turn off “receives shadows” on the plant renderer?

thanks for the hint, but i want the plant to receive shadows…
the only thing i can think of is to turn of the self-shadowing… but i’m not sure if this is possible, nor if this would look any better…

i think, i will just redesign the plant and try to place the planes so, that you don’t see them so obvious.

cheers
