Billboards

[[HP]]

Hey guys.

Does any of you know how to make billboards in XSI?

Also known as sprites, Planes that always face the camera.
I need to have this feature enabled, since I'm trying to make trees for a game.

Thanks

Hi, some time ago i do a script for that, in fact was my first atempt to do some scripting ever so don't expect too much :P

Any way, in the attached rar you can find the addon and here (http://www.vimeo.com/980215) a little video demo ;)



PS: sorry for my english

Thank you so very much, I will give this one a try and let you know the result!

Edit, ok I tried your plugin and it work.
One question tho, it apears to only work in one axis, how can I make for instance, a plane always face a selected object (eg a camera) on all the axis?

Hi, the addon only works in one axis to still the tree (or whatever) always vertical but if you don't need this restriction with a standard direction constraint you are done! :)
