### Proposed new feature or change
I am trying to render a tree that has textures. The model is broken into two meshes (one for the branches, and the other for all the leaves)
The problem is that when I render the tree using the "defaultLitTransparency", it means that any leaf points behind the transparent area disappear. I have attached an image showing what happens when I use the "defaultLitTransparency" as-well as the "defaultLit" shader.
I have done a bit of investigation and have seen that the depthWrite needs to be enabled within the shader.
