Make an object look at (aim/target) another.

Hi All,

I need to make an object point at or look at another object that has animation and I have no idea how to do this in Blender.

Please help

Cheers,

Look into constrains.

Scroll down to eye tracking

Is it possible what you’re after is just ctrl + T and then “Track To Constraint”? You can make objects or the camera point towards anything that is moving by doing that.

Just select the object you want the main object to look at. Then shift-select the main object. Then press control plus t. It will automatically add a track-to constraint on the main object. :wink:
