Billboarding

Point Symmetry



• Two degrees of freedom rather than one
  • Rotate about a point rather than a line
  • Use axis parameter to determine second rotation
• Useful for objects such as smoke
  • Maintain alignment in object coordinates
• Use for objects needing to be aligned in eye coordinates
  • e.g., 3D text aligned with screen
