Help with Decals for Bulletholes or markers

Post by OverlordYertle »

In my current project i'm trying to get it so that the user can put down stamps on walls. But i also hope to expand on it and use it for bullet holes or be able to place a sign on the wall.

billboards seemed like an idea but then i remembered that they always face the camera. but i dont know if its possible to prevent them from spinning?

I found an old class for Irrlicht that supposedly made billboards quite well but it was outdated and after i updated it to be able to run it didnt seem to display the decals.

I looked into a few concepts for decals and some suggested 2 layer textures and on the 2nd layer you put all of your decals. But i have no idea how i would go about doing this.


A tutorial would be most appreciated, but any help is more than welcome.


Thanks!
