Sprite/Billboard Scaling...

by Michael Niedda · in Artist Corner · 10/18/2006 (9:59 pm) · 2 replies

I read that they cant be scaled, is this true. Is there a trick to get them to scale and animate?

I have a lantern with a candle in it and I set up a candle glow billboard object into the lantern. It exports correctly and shows up in Show Tool pro very nicely. Now, if only I could animate that glow flicker. :)

Anyone have any idea?

No trick. As far as I know, billboards can't be animated. How about using an IFL texture for the flicker instead?

Cheers,
