viz.lookat() with 3d text problem

[farshizzo]

Hi,

This is because the text is always facing towards its local -Z axis. You need to apply a 180 degree rotation after the lookat command:

self.tpressure.lookat(self.view.getPosition())
self.tpressure.setEuler(180,0,0,viz.REL_LOCAL)

Also, instead of manually performing this code, you can use the billboard() command to have Vizard automatically do it for you.

text = viz.addText('hello')
text.billboard(viz.BILLBOARD_VIEW) #Have text always face the user
