A facing mode that aims each particle at an aim point built per axis, with world +Y as up. Forward runs from the particle to the aim point.

Aim point axis	Source
X	the camera's X if AlignYaw is set, else the particle's
Y	the camera's Y if AlignPitch is set, else the particle's
Z	always the camera's

• Both set gives the same result as VfxFacingModeCameraFacing.
• AlignYaw alone turns the particle about the vertical to face the camera and keeps it upright.
• AlignPitch alone aims the particle within the vertical plane that runs along world Z through the particle.
• Neither points forward along world +Z or -Z, toward the camera's side. The particle collapses when the camera's Z equals the particle's.

The aim point works like the one of the legacy camera alignment flags, but the up axis here is world +Y, not the camera's up vector.

The particle's own rotation is applied inside that frame.

When set, the aim point takes the camera's Y; otherwise the particle's Y.

AlignYaw

Bool = true

Documentation Edit documentation

When set, the aim point takes the camera's X; otherwise the particle's X.
