Particles depend on camera angle about engine HOT 3 OPEN

I think we should add https://api.playcanvas.com/classes/Engine.ParticleSystemComponent.html#particleNormal
to that as well. you you set orientation to world there are something wrong with it. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is not correct behavior. to reproduce it just rotate parent 180 degrees, and try play with world orientation particle normal parameters:

1. setting parent to 180, then particle normal x = -1 and z = -1. You will notice that increasing particles normal x to lower value than -1 (for example -16) will actually effect the orientation.
2. particle normal (1; 0; 0) and (1 ; 0 ; 0,0001) behavior is completely different when parent is rotated 180 degreess.
3. rotate object -90 degrees and on particles try find values that would make particles go correct direction you will find that is impossible regardless of values. this assuming that particles looks like fish or arrows, so you could see particles easily.

It might be connected with orientation problems. or might be new ones.

Velocity is just a single vector. A quad needs to be aligned two two vectors, otherwise it could randomly rotate around the velocity. I think the other vector is related to the camera, so that the quad is visible by the camera. What else are you suggesting here @LeXXik ?

Hmm, to be honest I haven't studied the particle system implementation yet. There isn't anything else in addition to it. Just that the particles should maintain their orientation while in flight regardless of camera's angle. Can the particles not use camera vectors and use world up/forward instead when they are in the world space?
