I have been labouring to develop a script, either in Keyscript or The Script Extension PXP, align any given object to the view plane of the camera. The basic approach has been to align a dummy object within the 3DS scene, and then query the position and rotation of this object within the script. Of course, I tied myself up in a monumental knot, applying the tranformation matrices – the documentation is a little thin on how the axis of rotation is modified with repeated applications of a transform. Do any of you knowledgable people out there have a script that might guide me in this problem? Thanks Neil McEvoy Eolas inc. Kingston, Canada
