I’ve been messing around with a tree material, trying to get a certain look for the leaves. However I can’t get it to look the same after baking the lighting and I’m not sure what I should do/add in order to make it look like the real-time lighting. I assume I’m just missing a step but I’m not sure what it is. Thanks in advance!
