Particle Horizontal Billboard how to align particle to movement direction?

[strongbox3d]

Hello guys,

Please see attached image for illustration. I need to use particles with the “Horizontal Billboard” mode, but I need the particles to face the direction shown by the arrows pointing toward the center. The problem is that the particles are moving toward the center from a “Circle Emitter” but the are facing the wrong direction as illustrated by the small arrows in the screen grab. Could someone tell me if this is possible to achieve?

Regards,
Carlos

Hi there,

I archived this with a work around. It makes use of the Mesh Render Mode, but the result is flat, like Horizontal Billboard. I would just replace the build-in plane with an own, mind the orientation in your 3d aplication. I find this very confusing everytime, an “initial mesh rotation” module would be nice.
If you are restricted to Horzontal Billboard for any reason, sorry no idea.

Cheers,
Henning
