LE 2.51 - Updating Vegetation billboards realtime

[Flexman]

Is there a way to get access to a vegetation layers billboard?

 

In this screen-shot you can see I've applied heavy handed snow texture to these pine trees (in white - erm), you can see the billboards are still in the default green. Are there any undocumented properties or functions to get at this texture?

If you're doing this in BlitzMax, you can use reflection to view the entire structure of the classes.

I take it billboardtexture[2] is the diffuse and normal map. Thanks, that *was* all I needed

 

Got access to the textures now. Cheers again.
