Scattering Opacity Issue

Hi, thanks in advance for reading this!
I'm trying to scatter some leaves, the material is masked with an opacity texture.
Works fine, but when I put those in an octane scatter object and the objects overlap you can see the opacity texture (as you can see in the screenshot).
Probably there is a very simple way to do that, sorry :roll:

It think what you are seeing is an artifact of the leaf objects being perfectly co-planar, causing a Ray Epsilon sampling issue. Try adding just a little bit of randomization to the Y placement on your Scatter objects, and it should take care of the problem.
