tS7.6 - Billboard Planes About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. tS7.6 - Billboard Planes // The Garage 1  |   Order by default Post by trueBlue // Nov 12, 2008, 9:46am trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 Here is a Billboard plane and BillboardClone plane. These are most likely only useful while in FTP mode. The Billboard's Connect/Disconnect button exports/removes it's Target Matrix to the Eye Camera's WldMatrix. When connected the Billboard will always look at the Eye Camera and or your Avatar while in FTP mode. The BillboardClone's Connect/Disconnect button only connects/disconnects to the already exported Billboard's Target Matrix, so you have to ensure that it is connected first. You can make several copies of the BillboardClone and place a different locations. It is important to Not copy the BillboardClone when Connected. The Alpha/Texture Material used is supported in Realtime, LW and Vray. Switching to Model breaks the connection to the Eye Camera so you will have to reconnect them. Also you should Disconnect the Billboard before Generating or Loading a New Scene.

These (and all the other great items you've created) would be great on TurboSquid for tS users who don't visit to the forums to find easily. HTH! Tom Post by trueBlue // Nov 19, 2008, 8:39pm trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 Your welcome. I am trying to work at a better solution for this where the Billboard's movement is constrained to the Yaw only. Maybe someday I will upload some objects to Turbosquid. Thanks!
