A sprite is a polygon with a texture using transparency, that rotates on all axes to stay flat to the screen.
Some sprites are set to rotate only on the up axis, trees or grass for example.
Used for particles, far away trees, grass, clouds, UI elements, etc.
Also called Billboard, Imposter, Flag, Kite, Stamp.
