YafaRay Plug-in - reviewing for Yafaray 3.0

[oort]

David,
I don't know if it is something that I left out of the plugin or if it is a problem with YafaRay. I have noticed that in the Alpha Transparency Leaves example on my website that the leaves are partly transparent in areas where leaves are overlapping. Maybe it is an issue with the Alpha map I have used???

I have circled the areas where the lower leaves can be seen through upper leaves in the image below.

Thanks,
oort

David,
I have never been able to get good results using a single image with diffuse and an alpha background. Not sure if something is missing from the plugin or if it is an issue with YafaRay. In the past I have searched the YafaRay forum for information about this but have never found anything to solve the problem. See the example render below.

Here is the Diffuse with Alpha texture I am using... Ivy Leaf

Thanks,
oort
