I can only imagine that Dan has very strange dreams

those of us who cannot seem to quite grasp expressions as you do are thankful.

OK, sorry for the confusion. Works great Dan.

Thanks much,

James

Oops, hold on, just realized that the creative director created this in an odd way such that the path rotates on the z axis but the layers rotating are rotating on the y axis. Gotta fix this then try out the expression…

thanks much,

James

Subject: [AE] orient rotating parented layer to viewer?

I have 4 layers rotating about a null on a circular path in 3D space. The 4 layers are parented to the null. How do I keep the layers y rotation facing the viewer (locked to y=0) even while following the circular path in every other way? Expression?

Thanks,

James
