Question: bug or I don't understand something.

Billboard does not work like the picture:

In the shader, when Billboard is Enabled, the texture disappears.

If set to Y-Billboard, the texture is displayed normally:

The same goes for the material properties:

The behavior is exactly the same in beta 14. Is it just me?

The image doesn't disappear it's laid out flat so you're looking at it from the edge. See if changing the orientation fixes it. Under Mesh set the Orientation to Face Z and see if it changes. Also set Billboard to Y-Billboard.

Thanks for the answer! For some reason it wasn't noted that the answer was given… or I missed it.

In texture it does, indeed, work. But how to do it in a shader I couldn't find 🙁

Up: In general with shaders you also need to specify the orientation… but it all works in a strange way.
