2D sprites on 3D environments, aka HD-2D

Hello, I’m having a lot of trouble finding out the best way to have a 2D sprite in a 3D background, kind of like in Octopath Traveler. I assumed that I would just apply a 2d texture to a 3D object, but I’m unable to animate the texture. Then I thought I could attach a sprite object, to a 3D object, but I can’t seem to rotate it in 3D. Seems like it would the easiest type of 3D to implement but I can’t seem to find a straightforward way of implementing it.

How can a look like that be achieved?

1 - add extension
2 - type in search bar 3D sprite and add it
3 - add new object
4 - now on list you see 3D sprite object
5 - add it

I’m trying to do this on my iPad Pro. When I add the extension it crashes the 3D editor and I wasn’t able to get it back until I deleted the extension. Is there another way of doing this?

I don’t see any other user reporting such issue
So if it happens to you you should bug report to get it fixed

And idk any other way

Well now when I tried it today it still crashed the 3D editor but after restarting it a few times it seems to be working now, but when I try to add the 3D sprite to the scene it isn’t visible. The handles for moving it in the editor are there but I can’t see the sprite.

Consider reporting it as a bug
