I'm currently on a research project where we are making some trees for AR experiences and I'm having some issues with the PNGs I'm using for leaves. I model the trees in a program called Tree It and then export that into Maya to convert it to a GLB with Babylon.js' Maya Plugin. Then to test how it looks I put the tree into Babylon viewer and it looks perfect. The png transparency works fine and there is no hazy white background around the planes i'm using as leaves. Now comes the issue. When I drop the GLB into Reality Converter the pngs suddenly have a mostly transparent but still visible white background. It seems the issue is with Reality Converter since I don't run into this problem anywhere else in the pipeline. I vaguely remember reading something about Apple adding a faint white background to pngs but I can't remember if i just imagined that. Anyways here is a closeup of the issue:

So I'm trying to convert an FBX to USD in reality converter and it's giving me a strange error. The first image is from Maya and is what the tree should look like. The second image is the output I got in Reality Converter. I even tried re-applying the texture but this is still happening. It seems like the UV information is lost during the conversion but I'm not sure. I think I saw someone post about a similar issue somewhere else but now I can't find the post again. Any help appreciated!
