So I've just downloaded some plants from Megascans, nice to see them setup with the Physical Material - but I've spotted something that goes against everything I thought I knew so far.
I was always under the impression, from multiple sources, that leaves generally had quite a dark albedo, and then a much brighter translucency colour. However, the first asset I've checked is the opposite. The translucency is much darker than the albedo ...
Does anyone know why this would be? Could it just be that this asset just so happens to be like that in reality? Could it be wrong (I don't know how realiable megascans is with regards accuracy)? Does anyone have better knowledge than me on how plants work in reality that can shed some light (clue: I have zero knowledge)?
