DigitalRuneBillboardNormal Enumeration
Defines the normal vector of a billboard.

Namespace: DigitalRune.Graphics
Assembly: DigitalRune.Graphics (in DigitalRune.Graphics.dll) Version: 1.2.0.0 (1.2.1.14562)
Syntax
Copy
public enum BillboardNormal
Members
  Member nameValueDescription
ViewPlaneAligned0 The billboard normal is parallel to the view vector of the camera, but points in the opposite direction (= towards the camera). The billboard is always parallel to the view plane (screen) and rotates when the orientation of the camera changes.
ViewpointOriented1 The billboard normal vector points from the center of the billboard towards the camera (viewpoint). The billboard always faces the camera and rotates when the position of the camera changes.
Custom2

The billboard normal is specified explicitly.

The billboard normal is specified differently depending on the type of billboard:

  • Billboards - The normal vector of a regular billboard is given by the BillboardNode. The normal vector is the local z-axis (0, 0, 1) of the scene node.
  • Particles - The normal vector of particles is defined by a particle parameter. The ParticleSystem needs to have a uniform or varying particle parameter called "Normal".
Remarks
Billboards are oriented, textured polygons. The billboard orientation is usually defined by two vectors: the normal vector and the axis vector. The normal vector of a billboard is the vector that points away from the billboard plane, usually towards the viewpoint (camera). The BillboardNormal enumeration defines which normal vector is used for rendering.
