Build recognizable falling leaves in world space using instanced geometry, independent tumble, coupled sideways drift, shared wind, scene occlusion, and camera-aware recycling. Use for 3D autumn leaves or drifting foliage in Three.js and similar scenes; use falling-leaves for a 2D canvas overlay.

# 3D Falling Leaves

Make individual leaves turn through face, edge, and back while drifting through the scene. The visible edge-on moment is essential to the effect.

## Build one convincing leaf

Use a two-sided quad or lightly bent mesh with a recognizable leaf silhouette, stem, and restrained vein detail. Camera-facing point sprites cannot turn edge-on. Begin with one slow leaf before increasing the count.

Give the back a slightly paler, less saturated appearance and orient its lighting normal correctly. For a custom shader, `gl_FrontFacing` can distinguish front/back; do not flip normals twice if the engine's material already handles double-sided lighting. Keep light transmission subtle and linked to the scene sun rather than using an unconditionally glowing leaf.

Use a padded texture atlas for multiple silhouettes. Extend edge colors into transparent texels and keep padding through mip levels to prevent dark rims and atlas bleed. Treat a color atlas as sRGB; treat an atlas encoding masks or material channels as data. Seijaku's procedural atlas encodes channels and is not an ordinary leaf photograph.
