  • What is AE’s “Orient towards Camera” Expression?

    Hey Yall.

    I want to make a custom way for me to switch on n off an “Orient Towards Camera” expression.

    I guess I will use a check-box for the switch, but what the expression that should be applied and where?

    thanks! and goodday.

    Ido.

    Play around with this expression for Orientation:


    cb = effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox").value;
    if (cb){
    p = thisComp.layer("Camera 1").toWorld([0,0,0]);
    lookAt(p,toWorld(anchorPoint));
    }else
    value
