Hi Sunni Thanks for the update! Maybe I missed it, but what is planned to eventually go in the billboard? The kid pic is nice for a proof of concept but have you made a concept render of the how the final thing will look? It would be nice for the billboard to use the tooltip text or the label text - it that the plan? I’m still not convinced it wouldn’t be better having the billboard facing a fixed (or used defined fixed) direction but maybe I am alone in this….when I watch the youtube clip the boards seem to go ‘flat on the ground’ and lose their 3d representation.
