I'm trying to get Instanced Geometry Particles to all face the camera, but for some reason its not working. I know facing partcles will do it but I cannot use those in this instance.

Any suggestions would be great.

That's because facings are hardcoded to face the camera. Instanced geometry actually uses the rotation controls included, but unfortunately "face camera" isn't one of them. I know it sucks, but the default particles haven't changed since 1997 :(
