Hello! I have a question, i have to setup a test for an important camera track project. I have used the standard male model from in a scene, where it sits and has to keep looking at the camera rotating around it. Is there a simple way of making sure his head keeps facing the camera as it rotates around it?

tnx in advance!

You can simply use a target expression, right click on the object in your object manager (right) and select: New expression> target expression. Then just put in the name of the object you want it to follow...

Just make sure the Z axis of the head is facing front as I think it points the Z axis to the target.

use the look at camera expression tag. Memory is failing me lately, but I think it only uses the Z axis, so the heads z axis would need to be on the face.
