Very nice, though I have an idea, what about trying to use alpha channel for the palm shelter, especially around the outline to give it a more realistic look? would that possibly effect the shadow cast by it, as well? Would be a very cool effect, IMO.

Very good idea !!

I tested it yesterday and I have a problem. I don't know why but alpha channel affects only shadow, not the object. I don't understand why ...

Alpha test value of 0.50 should stop "filling in" of fine alpha detail (as with my MCycle skins)
