How do I stop it?
I have a billboard that I've added to my scene that is supposed to be a type of picture. It's there, rendered properly, but when the camera passes it, it turns to always face the camera. Nice feature, but not what I want for this particular billboard.
Here's the code:
would it, in regard to ur design, be ok to use a simple 'wall' and texture it with ur image?
Dont think the behavior of a billboard node can be altered
Aye mike. I believe Irrlicht has the option to be able to draw some simple primitives like Rectangles. If you dont want to make a mesh you could just make a rectangle and apply your texture to it.
Inherently billboards rotate because this is very useful for effects. You can choose which axis they are allowed to rotate about, but cant say that they cant rotate about any axis.
Been out of town.
I have a wall made in DeleD and put a tga texture on it, but for some odd reason, Irrlicht makes it look very light. The billboard looked correct.
I'll try a 2d rectangle and see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks for the tips.
If it exists in the real world, it can be created in 3d
