Could you add the ability to keep perspective on particle sprites? So they can shift perspective with the camera view, instead of always squarely facing the camera?

Correct. I think this could be handy for fire effects. An engineer on the team showed me lava drips in WOW that used this technique.

Interesting, I'll have to think about where to use that. I'm assuming you mean that the X and Y aren't locked to the same number?

 

Something I've been having a bit of a problem with is that I can't use sprites that aren't perfectly square, because Studio *WILL* make them square, whether I like it or not. So, if my sprite isn't square by nature, I have alot of black bars on the top and bottom.

We have also talked about having particles have the ability to scale non-uniformly! It's on the list!

When I use the Unreal Engine, I find it endlessly useful. It can really take a simple sprite to the next level.

Hey @MaxSMoke777​, I don't have the full answer to this, but I know we have discussed this being an option. I believe the always facing the camera is for optimization. I will make sure the team knows that it is something wanted though!

A checkbox option would be great, since most people won't need this, but when you need it, you really need it.
