Description

Currently only scaleByDistance is present for billboards. For geometry it is currently missing (in both variants: entities & primitives). Nevertheless there exists some use cases where you want to have geometry with a fixed pixel size.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing billboard scaleByDistance implementation, then trace how geometry is handled in both entities and primitives. The work is done when geometry in both variants supports a fixed pixel size through scaleByDistance, with the relevant rendering behavior verified.
