setting Transform.forward results in strange artifact
I want to do this in my update method:
//Look at camera
gameObject.transform.forward = transform.position - Camera.main.transform.position;
content.forward = Camera.main.transform.forward;
Content is the transform of a game object containing UI elements which I want always facing the camera. But when I do that, the UI elements are completely distorted. If I don't set forward, they look ok, just not exactly the orientation I want.
See attachments for actual and expected result.
I worked around this issue by setting the canvas' game object scale to (.002,.002,.002)
Camera.main.transform.forward is the direction that camera faces at, simply the direction you are looking at. If something needs to be seen, for instance a billboard, it needs to face towards you not towards what you are looking at. Simply change to content.forward = -Camera.main.transform.forward should do the job.
Thanks @revolute. $$anonymous$$y problem is not the orientation; my problem is that setting the content rotation changes its size too (doing like you said results in the same artifact). I will file a bug unless someone actually tells me this is normal behaviour. Content is a child of a gameobject that has a world space canvas on it; the canvas's scale is (0.002,0.002,1). I might try to make it (0.002,0.002,0.002).
