Orient instances to camera

Hi, as the title says, I'm trying to orient the instances so that they are always facing the camera.
I searched the forum for something similar but without success and my knowledge in bifrost is limited. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Here you go, connect the camera world matrix to the graph then you basically have to subtract the camera point position from the instances point position then use the normal and tangent to orientation to create a quaternion, and then you set it to the instances.

Thanks a lot, Sepu! It is working-nicely done.  Although I had to replace the compound "get_point_structure" with get point count and get point position.

Great! - get_point_structure is new to the latest version of BF 2.7.1 which I recommend if you can upgrade.
