Hi, Here is a screenshot of my game:
For some reason some of the leaf quads are being discarded to draw the trunk underneath. Also the shadow seems to act a bit weird on the tree, like as a square, but acts just fine on everything else.
How Do i fix this, or what could be causing this error? It all works just fine for the little man, but he has no alpha values. seems only transparent textures have this issue.
If there's any particular code you want to see, let me know.
its possible that you use blending to draw leafs and you dont sort quads properly, this will give you the 'bug' you describe. hard to say without code that draws the tree. both trunk and leafs.
Because you don’t discard translucent/transparent pixels when generating the shadow map.Also the shadow seems to act a bit weird on the tree, like as a square, but acts just fine on everything else.
This seems imaginary—nothing looks suspicious in your picture except a few spots that aren’t clear because of the shadow issue. Fix that first and then show a picture if this issue remains.For some reason some of the leaf quads are being discarded to draw the trunk underneath.

They are in the same mesh object, so they get drawn in one hit.
I am using blending

Since you don’t have this problem on the ground shadows, I assume you are creating 2 separate shadow maps. The one you are using to shadow translucent objects is wrong.

No, I'm using the same shadow map for everything, which is why this is so confusing.
For reference, here how it looks when modelling it:
Then it may be time to start posting shaders.No, I'm using the same shadow map for everything, which is why this is so confusing.

As for parts of the quad disappearing where there seems to be leaves, your alpha test is likely too low. Raise it.

What's an "alpha test" ? you mean "glClearDepth(1.0);"?
Ok I think I got it fixed correctly.
I just added an if statement to the fragment shader:
Yes.and results look good now. Is this what you mean by alpha test?

alright thanks for your help, greatly appreciated!
