    I found a plugin once that would make objects automatically orient towards the camera as the camera moves, but I can not find it again. Can anyone send me in the right direction. Thanks.

    Not a plug-in. Just a built in function:

    Layer > Transform > Auto-orient. Set to ‘Orient towards camera’.

    Doh! Thought I was in the AE cow again.

    However, use a ‘target’ tag on your objects and drag the camera to the target box for them to always face the cam.

    Target tag will work, but there’s actually a dedicated “Look at camera” tag.
