Hello,

Does anyone know if mantra a sprite shader or something similar to avoid using opacity/alpha with tree leaves on a large scale environment?

Thanks

Pretty much nobody uses Alpha cutouts for leaves anymore. Modern CPU's and ram amounts, along with the
ability of most engines to munch geometry easily, the preferred route is to actually model the leaf geo.
The use of instancing also. LOD switching of high to low res leaves is also another option.
