light star-like model

[eugenem79]

I need to do in Unity following thing:

• star-like shape

• option to put photo inside

• should scalable (thousand of such things at one screen)

Questions:

• is it possible at all?

• What’s the idea?

I believe that it’s not possible to import such model from 3d tool with all the effects, so this looks like pure Unity problem

Alpha blended billboards, or just particles, facing the camera are the answer if they’re spawning from a point and/or moving.

If they’re stationary, you need to find a way to create a mesh, set it to look at the camera, and apply a material from a set of star materials and face portraits.
