    First time posting here. Hopefully someone can help me out!

    I’m looking for an expression, or series of them, that will lock the rotation of an ellipse (circle) to a point in my composition.

    The desired end effect is that an off centre highlight on that ellipse (circle) will alway face a gradient acting as a point of light.

    Hopefully a screenshot of the project is below. The star is the ‘light source’

    I appreciate there’s probably a much better way of achieving the above but the end result needs to remain 2D, while looking like there is depth to the ellipse.

    Thanks in advance!
