@2playgames

Well I have the particles facing the camera by using the view matrix. with the matrix I can get the up vector and right vector used to determined the points on the particle so i can get the corners mad easy but rotating all the axis acording the rotations of the view is mad hard, and well couldnt find out how to anywhere, it seems only games do it theres nothing online at all

[Bart]

so you can get the direction to face, but have trouble with applying it, right?

maybe you can go here:
