**Note:** If a :ref:`GeometryInstance.material_override<class_GeometryInstance_property_material_override>` is defined on the ``SpriteBase3D``, the material override must be configured to take vertex colors into account for albedo. Otherwise, the color defined in :ref:`modulate<class_SpriteBase3D_property_modulate>` will be ignored.

**Note:** If a :ref:`GeometryInstance.material_override<class_GeometryInstance_property_material_override>` is defined on the ``SpriteBase3D``, the material override must be configured to take vertex colors into account for albedo. Otherwise, the opacity defined in :ref:`opacity<class_SpriteBase3D_property_opacity>` will be ignored. For a :ref:`SpatialMaterial<class_SpatialMaterial>`, :ref:`SpatialMaterial.vertex_color_use_as_albedo<class_SpatialMaterial_property_vertex_color_use_as_albedo>` must be ``true``.
