Render 2D background

[BlackMojito]

Is there an easy way to render a static 2D background? Like in Threejs, we can pass a texture as the "clear color" for each frame.

Hi, I'd go this way

Clear color with alpha = 0, and image set behind the canvas.

But there's some odd cuts ^^ Maybe there's a built-in method ? Never heard about it...

you can also use a BABYLON.Layer  
 

new BABYLON.Layer("myBackground", "textures/grass.jpg", scene, true);

It seems that the background does not work anymore?
