[SOLVED] Facing image plane to camera

Hi,

How can I set up an 3D image plane to always face the camera (in particular when the camera is rotating)?

I've read about targeting the image plane to the camera, but the camera has no values except for 0,0,0 and I do not know how to pusblish them. I also tried to use an hidden object behind the camera, but it did not work.

Any tips?
Thank you in advance.

The easiest way is by just piping a loader into the camera which will create an image plane that always faces the camera.

Thank you, but not quite the effect I am looking for.

My 3D image plane contains greenscreen footage. The image plane is setup in my virtual environment.
To avoid a flat looking character when rotating the camera too much and getting too much parallax effect,
I need the image plane to rotate as well. All other transform values shall adapt to the camera movement.

Any ideas?

Ok, I figured it out.

1. Select your Camera3D and open the transform page on the right.
2. Right-click on the Y-rotation and select Publish.
3. Rotate the camera as you wish.
4. Select your ImagePlane3D and open the transform page on the right.
5. Right-click on the Y-rotation and select Connect to, select Camera3D Y Rotation.

Now the plane rotates with the camera and so facing it, but all other transform values still belong to the plane itself (so parallax effect is still working).

In the transform tab of the image plane you have an option to Use Target. Just connect that target to your camera (publish or animate the camera XYZ first).
