SHCanada2 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 ..playing around with billboards. I did see a couple threads saying billboards cannot follow camera, but it looks like they can and the create billboard looks like the same dialog as create image. Are they the same now? the doc says both they cannot follow the camera, and they can be checked to rotate with camera "Billboard Images do not rotate to face the camera. An example of when this may be useful is an image of a trellis, which might look awkward when facing a camera from a side view. " "Check Image Always Faces Camera to prevent the image from rotating to face the camera in 3D views. This box is unchecked for Billboard Images." but of course one can check it and then it rotates.. anywho that is not my real problem my real problem is looking through the house the billboard does not show. is this to be expected or am i missing something? it just shows as white, as if the bill board was not there The tree shows that I put there just to check and see if it would show, and the terrain shows back of house view showing the lone tree behind the window: no tree, just white and terrain through the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanDeBroeck Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Jason, I am able to reproduce this but only in PBR with GPU raytracing and refraction enabled. This is unexpected behavior that will be looked into. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4UBLD Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Hi Jason and Dan, On X15 I'm having this issue as well (now nine months later than the original post by Jason). It may help to inform you that my billboards show up if I open the window/glass door. Thanks, Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
