  • merry-go-round with four objects

    Posted by Derya Oeztuerk on February 28, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    i have four objects distributed circular in 3d. i would like to rotate this objects at once but the four objects should always look at the viewer.
    i’ve tried it with auto-orientation to camera and parented the four objects to a null, but it didnt worked.
    if someone could help me. i can email the ae project if wanted.
    sorry for the bad english.

    Apply a simple expression to the orientation property of each layer (Alt+click the stopwatch):

    lookAt(position,thisComp.layer(“Camera”).position)

    You might have to do it this way if your objects are parented to the merry-go-round:

    lookAt(thisComp.activeCamera.position,toWorld(anchorPoint));
