Description

Renders a billboard from a BillboardAsset.

BillboardRenderers that share the same BillboardAsset can be rendered in a batch if they are next to each other in the order of rendering. The batching is always enabled regardless of whether dynamic batching is enabled or not.

Due to the always-upright nature of a tree billboard, BillboardRenderer can only rotate around Y-axis.

See Also: BillboardAsset.

Properties

billboardThe BillboardAsset to render.

boundsThe bounding volume of the renderer (Read Only).
enabledMakes the rendered 3D object visible if enabled.
forceRenderingOffAllows turning off rendering for a specific component.
isPartOfStaticBatchHas this renderer been statically batched with any other renderers?
isVisibleIs this renderer visible in any camera? (Read Only)
lightmapIndexThe index of the baked lightmap applied to this renderer.
lightmapScaleOffsetThe UV scale & offset used for a lightmap.
lightProbeProxyVolumeOverrideIf set, the Renderer will use the Light Probe Proxy Volume component attached to the source GameObject.

materialReturns the first instantiated Material assigned to the renderer.
materialsReturns all the instantiated materials of this object.
motionVectorGenerationModeSpecifies the mode for motion vector rendering.
probeAnchorIf set, Renderer will use this Transform's position to find the light or reflection probe.

Public Methods

BroadcastMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
CompareTagIs this game object tagged with tag ?
GetComponentReturns the component of Type type if the GameObject has one attached, null if it doesn't. Will also return disabled components.
GetComponentInChildrenReturns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentInParentReturns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
GetComponentsReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
GetComponentsInChildrenReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children. Works recursively.
GetComponentsInParentReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
SendMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
SendMessageUpwardsCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour.
TryGetComponentGets the component of the specified type, if it exists.
GetInstanceIDGets the instance ID of the object.
ToStringReturns the name of the object.
GetClosestReflectionProbesReturns an array of closest reflection probes with weights, weight shows how much influence the probe has on the renderer, this value is also used when blending between reflection probes occur.
GetMaterialsReturns all the instantiated materials of this object.
GetPropertyBlockGet per-Renderer or per-Material property block.
GetSharedMaterialsReturns all the shared materials of this object.
HasPropertyBlockReturns true if the Renderer has a material property block attached via SetPropertyBlock.
SetPropertyBlockLets you set or clear per-renderer or per-material parameter overrides.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a GameObject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediateDestroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoadDo not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene.
FindObjectOfTypeReturns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfTypeGets a list of all loaded objects of Type type.
InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.

Messages

OnBecameInvisible OnBecameInvisible is called when the object is no longer visible by any camera.
OnBecameVisible OnBecameVisible is called when the object became visible by any camera.
