Thanks, that's working perfectly!

so your entity will be a plane using the billboard's material ?
Not quite. My entities represent stars and I want to have a model and decent shader/lens flare loaded when the camera is close, but don't want 199,999 × 14 extra faces in the scene.


You have to code it yourself...
I don't know if ...

Is there a way to make an entity use different meshes or switch to a billboard as its distance from the camera decreases (or the other way around, switch a billboard to an entity)? I have a program with about 200,000 billboards that I would like to be able to switch into entities as the camera ...

That only works in Windows, and I think cURL would be a better choice anyway for an external networking library.

I take it that this means that there's zero chance that OpenNetworkConnection() works with https?

I'm trying to POST to a secure (https) server but can't connect to it with OpenNetworkConnection(). It works fine for non-SSL http connections, is this a limitation of PB or am I doing something dumb?
