World with Background image
I'm trying to have an image as background on my world;
I know there's the skybox, but that doesn't work too well for me (skipping details)

What I'd like is to place a 2D image on the xOz plane (horizontal) and stretch it for either 10/20 meters in-game, or the width of my display.

How could I achieve that? (The background tutorial seemed to be doing something a little different. I still want my WORLD in there.)

You can make a plane/quad as a 3d object (4 vertexes), and assign a texture/material to it

The purpose of the background tutorial, was to present loading of the world in the background thread, where you could draw 2d graphics for "loading.." smile

Off-topic, I meant some other tutorial, where you had the blad esenthel char in front of a big Esenthel banner. But whatever;

So I have to create a material with my picture? I thought of that, with a cube though, didn't know I can map on 2D stuff; but I was hoping for something easyer. I'll do this I guess. Just thought there might be a better way.

Thanks!
