ArcRotateCamera rotation: Apply alpha-changes to mesh

[Tarrew]

Hey,

i am working on a project which includes some letter-meshes. Now when i rotate the camera, i would like to rotate my meshes by the same amount, so the letters always face me.

I guess one way to do that would be to work with “mesh.setParent(camera)”, but this applies all operation to the mesh. I would only like to only apply the alpha-rotation of my ArcRotateCamera to my meshes.

Is there a simple way to do that?
A playground can be found here.

Thanks alot

You can use the billboard mode to always have a mesh face the camera:

[SOLVED] How to use "BABYLON.Mesh.BILLBOARDMODE_ALL" properly

Hi, I have the following example and try to use “BABYLON.Mesh.BILLBOARDMODE_ALL” to orient the x,y, and z characters to the camera. If I commented lines 88-90 out, the x,y and z letters were located properly. However, when lines 88-90 are activated, the x,y and z letters are not rotated properly. Can someone help look at this and see what went wrong here? https://playground.babylonjs.com/#3D2GX1#1 Thanks!

Oh wow, this was easier than i expected. Didn’t know there was a built-in way. Thanks alot!
