            The default sort of billboard (BBT_POINT), always has both x and y axes parallel to 
            the camera's local axes. This is fine for 'point' style billboards (e.g. flares,
            smoke, anything which is symmetrical about a central point) but does not look good for
            billboards which have an orientation (e.g. an elongated raindrop). In this case, the
            oriented billboards are more suitable (BBT_ORIENTED_COMMON or BBT_ORIENTED_SELF) since they retain an independant Y axis
            and only the X axis is generated, perpendicular to both the local Y and the camera Z.

        it could mean the center of the bottom edge (e.g. a tree which is positioned on the ground),
        the top-left corner (e.g. a cursor).
