How to make plane as tree leaf (2 side plane) like in GTA Vice City?

Question

I'm really interesting in GTA Vice City tree style (just 2 plane for all the tree leaf). Thus I want to remake this palm tree: PalmVc.zip. When I put this fbx into Unity, I can see that Unity renders 2 side of the plane, (but it doesn't perfect, you can see the glass-like on the leaf -> the plane isn't completely transparent) Vice City Palm in Unity But when I try to remake this tree, my tree can't archive 2-side-plane. My Tree

So I have 2 issues:

How to make a 2-side-plane for leaf? I tried to find that secret in the file PalmVc.fbx (check the link PalmVc.zip above), but I haven't found out.
How to remove the glass-like on the leaf plane: Make the plane completely transparent?

Thanks for reading :)

Answer 1

If you intend no wind Animation on your tree this shader should work fine..

 Shader "CustomShaders/DiffuseCutout" {
 Properties {
     _Cutoff("Alpha Cutout",Range(0,1)) = 0.15
     _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
     _MainTex ("Base (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
     _BumpMap ("Normalmap", 2D) = "bump" {}
 }
 
 SubShader {
     Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" }
     LOD 400
     Cull off
 
 CGPROGRAM
 #pragma surface surf Lambert addshadow
 
 sampler2D _MainTex;
 sampler2D _BumpMap;
 fixed4 _Color;
 fixed _Cutoff;
 
 struct Input {
     float2 uv_MainTex;
     float2 uv_BumpMap;
 };
 
 void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
     fixed4 c = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex) * _Color;
     o.Albedo = c.rgb;
     o.Alpha = c.a;
     o.Normal = UnpackNormal(tex2D(_BumpMap, IN.uv_BumpMap));
     clip(tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex).a * c.a - _Cutoff);
 
 }
 ENDCG
 }
 
 FallBack "Legacy Shaders/Transparent/Cutout/BumpedDiffuse"
 }

This is due to shader problem . So i say ,go to asset store and download double sided shader by ciconio studios . And after u place ur png image on the plane , a material is generated automtically , go to the material and change the shader to ciconio double sided transparent cutout.

There you go your problem is solved.

I know i'm late, but you can actually just go to the materials folder, inspect the material of the palm tree, then click the shader, click Particles > Standard Surface, then click Double Sided
