I think point sprites are a new feature of 0.3 -- we rewrote a lot of renderer stuff to get useful texture coordinates. It's still not quite as rad as I'd like, but the code's a nightmare that I don't have the motivation to deal with (which is why smokris deals with it as occasion permits :)

vimeo.com/2596946 shows off some simple point sprite stuff

That is awesome. Man, i love you guys! I need to stop my boring shit and make some awesome patches with your plugins!

vade, checkout the fire vbo as well, I think that's a pretty cool "image input" example with a vbo renderer...

This collision example is truly awesome.

You guys have basically turned QC into something entirely different at this point.
