I have this tree I made in blender and I have imported it as a gltf and a fbx, fbx on the left and gltf on the right but I dont know why the leaves dont cast shadows I think I have all the options enabled for shadows to appear the trunks are casting shadows but not the leaves what options should I do to fix this?

the leaves are planes is that something to do with it?

Go to the Spatial Material of your tree and set depth draw mode to depth pre-pass alpha, further info in the docs.

Try a texture without transparency/alpha and see if that has a shadow. You might need to tweak the settings or use another shader for transparent textures to cast shadows
