Objects Orient using Hair Particle System

Hello,
I am trying to get many Polaroid photos to form a mesh of a tree I have. The obvious choice is the hair particle system, but it seems when I try the Polaroid object does not orient to the faces of the tree.

How can I get the objects to orient to the face of the tree?

With the particle system, you can rotate the Polaroid object manually until it lines up with the faces of the tree. There is probably another method, but don’t know of it yet.

You could try dupliverts as well, (or duplifaces). Just align the child object (the Polaroid), to were it needs to go, and on the parent object (the tree) choose dupliverts. Though that method will put a object on EVERY vertex.

Hope that helped in one form or another.

I got it to somewhat work by using the regular Particle Emitter
Then, setting it to no physics and the rotation to normal.
