Billboarding... How to actually use it

[MackeyK24]

I am trying to add a 4th LOD that is a billboard, but I don't see anywhere on how to actually use a billboard... how to make a billboard with a texture... Like a tree image.

Can anyone tell me how to create billboard meshes with a texture... is that just a mesh with NO geometry BUT it does have a texture???

So a billboard is just a "Plane" mesh standing up with mesh.billboardMode = ALL /// FACE CAMERA

and the Material is just a regular material... your using a color , but I assume I would assign a diffuse texture to use an image ???

if you're using billboardMode all & just a simple texture/image, you could also use a sprite.
