Ok, this is straight out of the WebFX beta documentation;
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sprite
This node basically creates a polygon that is always axis aligned
with the Camera, with the specified URL texture mapped onto the
polygon. ...
Usage:
Sprite {
fields [SFString texture]
texture "http://www.some.place/some.jpg"
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
I realise that this doesn't quite do the same thing as your proposal
as it doesn't realign any VRML objects only a texture map. However,
for the purpose of a billboard object this technique could work
reasonably well.
