i was just asking because i made a particle system, and it looks great, but when i walk around it, it disappears...that is, it isn't visible from 360 degrees.

i meant is there a way to make it use billboards if it didn't already. :)

Hm, sounds like a bug..
Try disabling the automatic culling: yourNode->setAutomaticCulling(false), maybe it helps?
