Transparent texture doesn't receive light.

[Shirk]

Imported a tree with transparent leaf textures, but I noticed that the texture doesn't receive any lighting and is just glowing. How do I fix this?

how the material look like? (used textures/shaders)

dont use zsort with these.

and do you have a lightsource in your scene? it looks quite dark.

 

And dont blend alpha, blend solid.

The thing is, if I dont use alpha, then the texture looks terrible. And I do have a light source, its just very dim because its night.

Is there a page on these material rules somewhere? Maybe this should go on the wiki too as it's far from intuitive. Why not zsort? Why not blend alpha? I'd love to read about these things somewhere...

Could you post your texture or a part for us to test ?

I'm having issues with z-sort and alpha textures too. Here's the wiki entry on it: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/user-guide/material-editor-r8 Check the section under "Blend Mode" below the "Properties" subheading. It clearly says you need to enable z-sort for transparent materials so they render correctly but I'm having serious problems: alpha materials for static geometry look bizarre and ones stuck on skinned meshes, when set to the correct shader, don't render at all with z-sort turned on. I'm beginning to think it's a bug.
