   So D3DXSPRITE  can be used for billboarding?
  Hi, from what I can see in the help file, i can use D3DXSPRITE aka (i guess) ID3DXSprite for billboarding effects?Thanks, 
For quick questions like this, (yes, no) and other easy questions, use the GDNet Chat Networkbut just once, yes.

The coordinates are in 2D screen space and if you just use spr->Draw() it draws it on top of what was already drawn.You''d better check the billboarding sample in the SDK. ;  oh what Im referring to is that in the dxsprite interface, the begin function has a flag called D3DXSPRITE_BILLBOARD.So from this i assume it is possible to use the sprite to do it easily. ;  Aditionally, the Transform() method allows you to deal with 3d coordinates
