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. Double click on the desired actor.

  2. Go to the Actor/Avatar/Modify page. In the Look At section, click the Pick Target button.

  3. In the 3D viewer, click on a target.

Note:

  • 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 Look At Camera button.

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