Particles not facing the camera? Possible?

Is it possible to have particles not face the camera? Guess that's pretty much all i wanna ask.

I got some uses for them but i need them to have their own rotations.

Hi Ramen,
IIRC, setting orientParticles = true and orientOnVelocity = true in the ParticleEmitterData DB causes particles to face the direction they are moving.

orientParticles = true and orientOnVelocity = false makes them face the direction of emission.

orientParticles = false makes them face the camera as billboards.
