bentraje Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Hi, I have a bunch of cards scattered on a geo. They are oriented to always face the camera. But is it possible for them to also use the mesh's normal to have a more natural rotation AND still face the camera. You can check the image below for illustration. modified_aim_constraint.hipnc Edited May 7, 2022 by bentraje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) have a look at the attached file. It uses a bit of different technique, it brings the geometry into the camera space and flattens the normals and then creates an up vector along the z axis (camera axis). I swap the N and the up and then then it moves the geo back to world space. This is not exactly what you asked for(don't have much time). the grids are now parallel to the camera plane, not necessarily facing the center of the camera, but it should be close enough. modified_aim_constraint_doc_v1.hipnc Edited May 4, 2022 by doc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentraje Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Hi @doc Thanks for the file! it works as expected. Didn't know there was a handy use case for Object Merge's Transform Into Specified Object option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
