Is there a translucent shader? (for alpha foliage, trees etc.)

    I have a problem with my bilboard trees, shrubs and grass. They look 100% fine when lit by sun, but are too dark when they are rotated against the light source.
    Now I know that looking straight into the sun is supposed to make everything else pretty much black in real life (and will make your eyes hurt, too), but in the game the car is only facing the general direction of the sun, and the billboard shrubs / grass get very dark and in stark contrast with the surfaces they reside on (which are just grass-textured polygons that receive all the light they can get).
    So the question is, is there a way to simulate backlighting? Maybe one can set a minimum ambient light value for a shader or instance? You know, a leaf is not made of steel ;)
