[osg-users] Get current Billboard ModelView matrix?

If you only need the movement towards/away from you, you can use the 
previous frames depth and perform difference computation based on the 
difference of the linear depth.

I'd simply pass the view matrix inverse (pre frame) and calculate the 
modelmatrix via inverse_view * model_view_matrix.

Cheers
