Precipitations don't follow cam rotation...

It works fine.. uncheck useTrueBillboards. The only bug here is that it should be unchecked by default, because it causes confusion compared to how precipitation worked previously.

@JoZ - this has been happening to a lot of people and honestly, I'd bet for everyone. It could be an issue with the camera pitch/rotation to the left or right similar to how if you set the object clipping wrong with your player character, the weapon they are holding could disappear based on the camera position and angle.

Not checked as solved as I hope GG will decide to ship T3D with the useTrueBillboards field unchecked... As konrad mentioned I think it can cause confusion...

Just checked this change in, useTrueBillboards will be false by default.
