Has anyone here everplayed Might and Magic 6,7, or 8. If so could you please tell me the basic idea of how to make sprites and things walk around like that. Or be a tree. If you've played you'll know what I mean. If noone has played then ask and I'll explain more of what it is like so you can help me .

Thanks in Advance,
Ragnarok

Well, those sprites that are used in a 3D engine are called billboards. You simply create a plain and texture it with an image of your sprite. You then have to calculate the angle between the plain and the camera/player so that it is always facing the user and, therefore, always "in front of him".

Gah... Maybe i overly complicated on this ... Do you get the idea?

Why should i care?
