Question by Nostalgic_console · Sep 21, 2014 at 01:45 AM · tree

Having trouble with billboards for custom trees?

I made some normal custom trees within the unity editor. Everything seems to be normal but I am having trouble with billboards. pls help. Need solution. My terrain has billboard set at 5 so very close. The reason I need billboards is because the tree's look crappy from far away. The problem is (and this may seem noob like of a question) I have no way of knowing why from a far distance the trees don't turn into billboards. Is this a manual thing where I have to create a billboard material and set it to the custom trees?

did you mass place them? or just drag them into the scene?
