$mostlyopaque

$mostlyopaque is a QC command available in all Source games. It causes the model to be rendered in two passes: The first pass renders only the opaque portions of the model, and the second pass renders only the translucent portion of the model.

The use of $mostlyopaque can be used to improve the visual quality of models such as foliage or underbrush, by improving the lighting on the translucent materials.
