  • custom particle orient toward center of the comp

    Hello there,

    I am looking for a way to orient the custom particle generated with particular towards the center of the 3D comp. (I wanna try a kind of ring where all elements face the center point).

    I’m using an expression for “rotate y”.
    I tried to use the expression “lookAt” (lookAt(position,thisComp.layer(“Null Camera 6”))-> Null Camera 6 is the center position), but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

    It must be possible somehow! Any help appreciated.

    lookAt(position,thisComp.layer(“Null Camera 6”).position)[1]

    works better. but just on “two sides” of the circle.
