    Why do baked shadows look like this:

    But realtime shadows look much more detailed?

    Interesting. Your leaf textures gets baked as opaque. Maybe something wrong in the baking settings?

    I dunno, i don't have Unity 5 Beta, sorry. So i cannot say if and where those settings resides. My guess is the panel where you adjust your lightmapping settings :)

    When everything else fails then you can still submit a bug report.

    I received a reply on the bug report stating that the baked shadows currently don't take transparency into account and they are working on a fix :)

    This should be fixed in beta 16 if all goes well.
