HOW TO MAKE #2D SPRITE CHARACTERS IN A #3D WORLD
with a free-rotating camera & face-on sprite rendering

UPDATE: make sure to enable bUsePawnControlRotation on the SpringArmComponent in order to use lateral camera movement; I forgot this and "Inherit Pitch" was not working for the camera.

Hello! This video builds on a previous tutorial where I showed how to make a 2D characters/sprites in a 3D world in Unreal Engine, like Paper Mario or Octopath Traveler -- BUT it was locked in a single axis and had a limited camera. In response to many who wanted a free-rotating camera, I created this video that demonstrates how to render the sprites face-on towards the local camera at all times.

There are some current limitations for network, as you'll see in the video, but I believe this is a fairly performance friendly solution for your projects. Enjoy.
