RemarksDigitalRune Graphics supports two types of billboards:
- ImageBillboard ... static or animated bitmap
- TextBillboard ... text using a bitmap font
A billboard can be positioned by adding a BillboardNode to a 3D scene. The billboard orientation can be set using the Orientation property. See class BillboardOrientation for more information.
Billboard Size: To resize an ImageBillboard change the Size property or change the ScaleLocal of the associated scene node. To resize a TextBillboard change the Font or change the ScaleLocal of the associated scene node. (The font size is measured directly in world space unit, i.e. a 12 pt font is 12 units in world space.)
Cloning:
Billboards are cloneable. Clone creates a copy of the current
sprite. The Texture of a ImageBillboard or the
Text of a TextBillboard is copied by reference (no
deep copy).
