There are two methods that come to mind. You could use 'billboards' or you could make a 3D mesh that has the image on it. In case you don't already know I will explain it in more detail.

Billboards are flat planes that you design to always face the camera. This method is cheap to use (performance wise), but in most 3D games, they don't look very convincing.

The 3D mesh I use in my 3D games (not that I have many) is cris-crossing planes that have the same image on each of the planes. I don't rotate the mesh to face the camera but the actual depth of the mesh gives it a more realistic result when compared to billboards.

The fastest code is the code never written.

Just adding a bigger visual to the cricrossing... imagine one of those revolving doors often found at shopping centres and banks...

I like that concept... may adapt it...

1. Venom, we don't act with hostility towards other members here. If you are clearer with your requests, then you may get the information you require. The answers you got are perfectly acceptable for the question you asked.

2. You will get more help if you show what you have already done to solve your problem, then others can elaborate on it

3. This is a forum, not a mobile phone. There is plenty of space and time to use full words, sentences and punctuation. You will get better responses by using the right etiquette.

This is what got you banned the last 2 times, if you won't be nicer we won't help you.

Hawkblood gave you exactly what you need to know. If you don't know what commands are used to make, texture, and position 3D geometry in DarkGDK than you should watch some of these tutorial videos to help you get started:

He just keeps making alt accounts, isn't that a bannable offense if you were banned and then made an alt account. He was originally banned by Josh Mooney sometime last week or so (in this thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=192807&b=22) as the user "||||venom||||" and then made an alt account "bad ass little venom".

Yes, we're fully aware of his many accounts.
If you ever see the name barbie.com, you can read that as banned in a very unique and special way
