  • Rotation of element based on angle from camera

    Seems like this may be something I could do with an expression, but don’t really know where to start. I have a ring of “cards” in 3D with a camera circling the ring. I need the cards to face the camera, but using look at transform is not the look I am after. Can I access the angle from camera to have the cards flip their rotation when they are edge on to camera? This is probably clear as mud, but I thought I’d throw it out there…

    Nevermind. I found Dan’s useful layer invisible when facing away from Cam expression on MotionScript and modified it for y rotation.

    Thanks Dan!
