getAxialRotate()

C++ Interface: get_axial_rotate(BillboardEffect self)

/**

  • Returns true if this billboard rotates only around the axis of the up

  • vector, or false if it rotates freely in three dimensions.

getClassType()

C++ Interface: get_class_type()

getEyeRelative()

C++ Interface: get_eye_relative(BillboardEffect self)

/**

  • Returns true if this billboard interprets the up vector relative to the
