hi there,
with face me components self illumination in material does not work - after all eploded to lines and faces and normal groups it works as expected…
thx
@bs , can you kindly send me the components or the project itself so I can troubleshoot the cause behind this? Of course, before you exploded them and so on. 
2d face me components from google staff > the 2d people from 3D warehouse
@bs - Could you be a bit more exact? Are you talking about all 2D people in the 3D Warehouse, or specific 2D people.
I think this refers to the limitation that billboards can’t have self illumination on.
What @Pieter_2 mentioned, emissive billboards are currently not officially fully supported I’m afraid. As in, there may still be some artifacts and/or it doesn’t work properly over all. Our developers will discuss how we’ll proceed when it comes to feature in particular.
Any news on supporting transparency on billboards? That would be awesome to have.
@Pieter_2 - no, I’m afraid at this juncture there is nothing new to tell you in regards to this topic.
It was worth a try
