spinning a camera in 3d space – planes keep facing camera
hi guys,
creating a series of planes in 3d space is easy enough but how could I get them to face the camera.the nearest thing I can think of is maya – constraining a polyplanes face to point at the camera but I dont know how it would be done in afx and something similar must be possible?
cheers

Not 100% positive on this as i have a render going currently, but try this…
To activate or deactivate Auto-Orient for a layer:
1. Display the Timeline and Composition windows for a composition.
2. In the Timeline window, select the layer you want to modify.
3. Choose Layer > Transform > Auto-Orient.
4. Do one of the following, and click OK:
* To activate Auto-Orient, choose Orient Toward Camera.
* To deactivate Auto-Orient, choose Off.This is under “Understanding 3D auto-orientation” in the help file.

hiya
this didn’t work as my camera is imported from a maya scene and there are a couple of cameras so it hasn’t pointed to the one I’m using – gutted. -
Id be interested in learning how to do this in Maya, can someone shoot me an email with detials? thanks,
Anthony
