Probably simple-but....2d png plant images

I have the transparent, what I can’t find out is how to get the shadows. I am using alpha hashed, as mode, none for shadow currently, and changing that shadow setting does nothing. I have watched every video, but seems as though 2.9 really changed the way things get done. Just need the shadows to show if someone can simplify that for me. Thanks.

You should change that to alpha hashed for a starter, alpha clip may be better but try to get a result with hashed first.
How do you make the plane transparent ? can you show the node setup ?

If you place an object (cube) next to the plane, if the cube give shadows and not the plane , then probably something is wrong in the material, it is a simple setup, easy to get working.

I didn’t make the plane transparent. I imported a model that had existing 2d png images, with an alpha channel. There are dozens of plant images I need to get to shadow. Otherwise I will have to ditch all of them and do all 3d, which I didn’t want to do, because of size issues. I’ll try clipped.

Alpha clip worked. Thanks!

Cool ! that’s weird , alpha hashed should have worked too , but at least the most important is that’s working !
