Question

Element 3d model auto orientation to motion path.

Hello!!

     A simple question.....

How can we auto orient an Element 3d model (e.g. an aircraft) along to its group null, so we don't have to manually rotate the model?

Thank you!

    Wait, are you saying it's already set to follow a null, but isn't following that null's rotation?

    Yes.. It follows the null but the 3d model always faces the camera.

    E3D doesn't have any built-in auto-orient. You have to use the good old lookAt() expression or at least hardwire the rotations from the Null using pick-whip expressions.
