That's the conclusion i'm coming to.
I can't find a way to "counter rotate" the particles Projection look up.

Not tried Leonard's approach yet. Makes me a bit nervous to generate geometry... I liked the idea to stick to particles ^^

Thinking more deeply about it, my approach can become quite a bit more complicated when you throw rotations in the mix, plus there is the 3rd party renderer limitation I later warned about... so in the end, Leonards approach might be the most fail safe one...

    Hey Gustavo,
    I'm going to try your approach. Never manipulated uvs in ice before :)

    Hey Leonard,
    This is far beyond what I know :) Would use some already made
    compound in that case :)

    Thank you guys, this should keep me busy this afternoon, I'll let
    you know.

    Ps, not all renders support Projection and Image Lookup nodes :(

        Hi Olivier,
        Leonards approach sounds very good and not much
        complicated... Still I was intrigued to see if what you
        suggested was possible, and it is if you do some magic in the
        render tree.
        What you need to do is get closest location on the projection
        you want to evaluate and store this values as a ICE
        attribute, like UVoffset, for example. Then in the render
        tree get a image lookup node, so you can roll your own
        texture projection, bring in the ICE attribute you created,
        and the original UVs of your particles (with Projeciton
        Lookup Node). Basically what you need to do then is to
        rescale your projection so it matches the world size of your
        particles, and add the pre-calculated offset. Hope it makes
        sense, here are some images...
