Eyes follow camera – how?
Hey guys,
I have eyeballs in the head of a character. I need them to follow a camera that is moving around it. The eyes are weighted to a joint in the head. I have tried the “Target” and “Look at Camera” tags on both eye objects, using the camera as th object to target, neither of which have worked and I think it is due to the fact that the eyeballs are being deformed by the joints. I know I can do this by keyframing morphs but that is time consuming and I may move the camera later. How would you have the eyes look at the camera otherwise?
Thanks!

Don’t weight the eyes — just make them children of the head bone/joint, or use a position constraint.

Sweet, worked great–don’t know why I didn’t think of that! ; )
I must have to do something with the “Vector Up” field because the eyes rotate around on their X axis.
Your advice?
Peace,

If the eyes are editable objects you can just rotate the axes with the object axis tool. Alternatively, if you use a constraint tag (aim constraint) instead of the “look at camera” tag, you can choose which axis to use.
