Displaying Images that allways faces the viewer

Post by Criamon »

Hi there,

another noob question. I need to display images that allways face the viewer (for chat bubbles). In ogre there is something that is called billboard. For what keyword I have to search in the api?

Thanks
Cria

Looking into API documentation is a nice habit. You should try it. Look for irr::scene::IBillboardSceneNode.

Also, for things like chat windows, you could use the GUI Environment.
