Hi, another difference between Billboard and Sprite patches:
- Billboard only draws flat 2D and is not effected by the 3D-Transform patch, Sprite is rendered in 3D and is effected by the 3D-Tranfsorm patch - Sprite can be used inside a GLSL Shader patch to apply vertex and fragment shaders. Billboard is going nuts with the texture (at least when ever I tried it). best, Achim Breidenbach Boinx Software Ltd.
