Actor - Look At

Instead of manually adjusting the head of an actor to look at a moving target, you may use this time saving feature.

Look At

  1. Select the desired actor.
  2. Switch to the Attribute tab in the Modify panel. In the Look At section, click the Pick Target button.
  3. In the 3D viewer, click on a target.
ClosedNote:
  • You can have the actor Look At the target object over a certain period of time and then have it stop looking outside that time range.
  • You may optionally select the sub node of the target by clicking on the button and select a desired node in the tree view.

Look At the Camera

If you want the actor to Look At a camera all the time, simply click the Look at Camera button.

The actor rotates her head and looks at the camera all the time even if the camera moves away.
