    Both are good.  The bottom one is intended more for people who want to add their own stuff to billboards, although it does have some nifty premades if I recall correctly.  the top one is more of a product that you just drop in and use.  Both are good, and both save a ton of memory when you need background stuff.

    I love billboard products but they are hugely memory intensive... some are gigs and gigs.

    Do you mean storage space intensive, or video memory during the render?  I've used a few billboard products and they have been pretty minimaly in Video Memory usage during the render, I was under the impression that was the whole idea behind them.  But for storage space, yeah, they can be a hog.

    Great choice.

    I use them all the time for when i need people in a back ground fill in a animation:)

    Light on resources for me, Easy to set up you can use a lot of them in a single scene

     Though there are some bill board props that have huge storage issues .

    I used them in this animation.

    I used them in this one

    I used bill boards in this animations as well  :)

    Excellent sound design, camera work, and editing on those animations, Ivy!
