Autobillboard always billboarding?

by Russell Fincher · in Artist Corner · 11/16/2007 (10:03 am) · 1 replies

I'm missing something that is probably pretty obvious. I'm building a simple plant, no collision, just one LOD and an autobillboard:

But when I preview in Showtool, it's always billboarded, no matter what size on the screen. It's a dead simple hierarchy... what am I doing wrong?
