Hey everyone! Since I somehow forgot to include the new billboard sprite feature in the release notes for v0.7.3.0, I thought I'd share a bit about it separately. As of this release, the Voxel Editor now includes a "Billboard Sprite" mesh option, in addition to the existing "Classic" and "Marching Cubes" options! This option allows you to have flat, 2D meshes in your game, which will always face towards the camera. For now this is only available for objects, with support for characters coming in a future update.
Check out the video below for some billboard sprites in action!
