what is it saved as? Jpg is what I use and it works well. When in Alice just click on file and then create billboard.

If that doesn't work, you can always just make it the texture of a square

png is best to use with Alice. Alice converts all textures to png format anyway, no matter what it originally was in (that's how they are stored in the a2w files).

You can change the square's texture, under properties, to the billboard picture

Lightbulb I done it - 12-16-2011, 03:41 PM

Because this was leading nowhere, I done it myself. It shows up fine for me, if this object doesn't show up fine for you then something is wrong with your Alice.

Enjoy .
