Matrix.CreateBillboard Method (Vector3, Vector3, Vector3, Nullable<Vector3>)

Creates a spherical billboard that rotates around a specified object position.

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function CreateBillboard ( _
         objectPosition As Vector3, _
         cameraPosition As Vector3, _
         cameraUpVector As Vector3, _
         cameraForwardVector As Nullable(Of Vector3) _
) As Matrix 
public static Matrix CreateBillboard (
         Vector3 objectPosition,
         Vector3 cameraPosition,
         Vector3 cameraUpVector,
         Nullable<Vector3> cameraForwardVector
)
public:
static Matrix CreateBillboard(
         Vector3 objectPosition,
         Vector3 cameraPosition,
         Vector3 cameraUpVector,
         Nullable<Vector3> cameraForwardVector
)

Parameters

  • objectPosition
    Type: Vector3
    Position of the object the billboard will rotate around.
  • cameraPosition
    Type: Vector3
    Position of the camera.
  • cameraUpVector
    Type: Vector3
    The up vector of the camera.
  • cameraForwardVector
    Type: Nullable<Vector3>
    Optional forward vector of the camera.

Return Value

Type: Matrix
The created billboard matrix.

Remarks

This method computes the facing direction of the billboard from the object position and camera position. When the object and camera positions are too close, the matrix will not be accurate. To avoid this problem, the method uses the optional camera forward vector if the positions are too close.
