Summary

Light doesn’t only bounce off objects — sometimes it passes through them. In this tutorial, you’ll use transparency to create a translucent object that looks like glass, and the technique of alpha clipping to create realistic looking leaves from simple rectangular meshes.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
Apply more maps that are configurable on the URP/Lit Shader 
Apply alpha clipping in a material
Apply the transparent surface type to a material
