I have planets orbiting a star on a “followPath” in 3D space. The planets are AnimatedSprite3D with billboard=true.
Is there any way to mask Sprite3Ds or illuminate the sun facing side?
It seems shading and a lightsource in the center of the solarsystem do not work with billboard.
Thank you
If you need planets to be illuminated by a sun in 3D, why use sprites? Spheres would work by design instead.
I don’t see an easy way to do it with billboards, unless you write your own custom shader to do it, or switch to 2D and use the 2D lighting system.

Sounds like you need to dig out an old school technique; a phong shadermap
Ah memories…
