Hey guys,
My computer is way too slow to model realistic trees for animation so I'm trying to figure out how I could go about creating a plane that rotates to always face the camera but only on the z-axis. I know that billboarding is a way of doing this but I have no idea how to script or use vrml97. Is there either an easier way of doing this or does anyone know of a good tutorial on the billboarding topic. I've also tries itoos tree plug-in but its only a demo and I can't save my scene.
