Billboard

 

 

 

Creates geometry that will be always aligned to the current camera. The plane geometry linked to the Billboard will rotate around the local Z axis to face the viewer.

 

 

 

 

To create a Billboard, select Billboard from the Create menu, click anywhere in the 3D Area to pick a position (X Y Z) to place the billboard at. Browse and select an image (choose PNG image format to preserve transparency). The default image will be a tree if the user didn't select an image. Enter the suitable height in meters, it takes the aspect ratio of the selected image, the width of the Billboard will be approximated automatically.

 

 

After positioning a tree, for example, it will render as a well behaved Billboard.
