Is it possible to use a billboard/impostor plane as an LOD for a skeletal mesh?

Goal: Use a flipbook material to animate a sprite sheet on a billboard/impostor as LOD3 for a skeletal mesh.

Problem: UE4 “Failed to Import” error when attempting to import the LOD to the skeletal mesh.

I’ve searched on AnswerHub/Google, can’t find anything.

I’d be interested in finding this out as well… Did you find any solution yet?

Perhaps creating a pseudo “skeletal mesh” with eg only 1 bone, and the image? :thinking:
