For a light-oriented project, I would like a tube SOP inside a GEO COMP (and itteration using TOP) to point at a null COMP or any other tracked point.
The idea is to make different light beam visualised in a 3D space to track a similar point in the same space, and get the rotation parameters accordingly (to use it for automated light).
I’ve tried different techniques with “Look at” but I think I don’t get it…
Any help would be welcome, where to start and where to go ?
Hello Matthew,
Always thanks for your help
My actual issue is when it comes to instancing. The “look at” function doesn’t work when you have multiple instances.
You can see my problem in the following project : Instance_look-at-mechanics.1.toe (6.4 KB)
Hey @Ascidiacea - sadly, the look at style approach won’t work across instances automatically. You can, however, still accomplish this same need by using the object CHOP:
Object CHOP Web Write up
You can find a web-write up here:
Object CHOP on the Forum
There’s also a thread on the forum about the same technique here:

If you’d like to see a few different techniques for working with instances to accomplish this, there’s a tool for that here:
