Remarks

The BillboardNode positions a Billboard in a 3D scene. The orientation is defined by the Billboard object - see property Orientation.

Cloning: When a BillboardNode is cloned the Billboard is not duplicated. The Billboard is copied by reference (shallow copy). The original BillboardNode and the cloned instance will reference the same Billboard object.
