BillBoard 广告牌的两种实现方式

BillBoard: 面片始终面对着摄像机。 广泛引用，eg：渲染烟雾、云朵、闪光效果。

有两种实现方式：

一般通过Shader实现；

另外是小范围简单使用，C#脚本里Update()中使用transform.LookAt(cameraTarget)，会让gameObject跟着Camera改变Rotation，保证normal始终朝向cameraTarget。

public class LookAtCamera : MonoBehaviour

{

    public Transform target ;

        void Update ()

    {

        transform . LookAt ( target );

       }

}

shader实现：

广告牌的本质是构建旋转矩阵，3个基向量: up, normal, right.

通常，我们有normal方向（视角方向）和up方向，但两者往往不是垂直的。但其中之一是固定的。 

我们假设法线方向是固定的。 

首先根据normal和up计算right： right = up x normal

将right归一化后，根据normal和right再次计算出正交的up： up' = normal x right

                    v2f vert (appdata v)

                     {

                           v2f o;

                            float3 center = float3 (0,0,0);

                            float3 viewer = mul(unity_WorldToObject, float4 (_WorldSpaceCameraPos, 1)).xyz;

                            float3 normalDir = normalize(viewer - center);                       

                            float3 upDir = float3 (0,1,0);

                            float3 rightDir = normalize(cross(upDir, normalDir));

                           upDir = normalize(cross(normalDir, rightDir));

       

                            float3 centerOffs = v.vertex.xyz - center;

                            float3 localPos = center + rightDir * centerOffs.x + upDir * centerOffs.y + normalDir * centerOffs.z;

                           o.vertex = UnityObjectToClipPos( float4 (localPos, 1));

                           o.uv = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.uv, _MainTex);                                

                            return o;

                     }

                     

                     fixed4 frag (v2f i) : SV_Target

                     {

                            // sample the texture

                           fixed4 col = tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv);                    

                           col.rgb *= _Color.rgb;

                            return col;

                     }

这里改变ObjectSpace里的vertex，有顶点动画，要求Tag里禁掉Batching， DisableBatching设置为True.

Tags { "Queue" = "Transparent" "IgnoreProjector" = "True" "RenderType" = "Transparent" "DisableBatching" = "True" }

但事实上在实际项目中，禁掉Batching的代价太大，在顶点的Color里记录下相对于模型Center的偏移值，就不妨碍Batching啦。
