Thanks a lot for getting back to me, so here is the link movie_010 ,
I want to make this shape turn at the same angle it’s like a road a follow path I hope you will get my point. right now it’s turning 360 but the angle is changing now following the same angle.

Oh I see. You need to align it to velocity. Will try to check today how it was done in VFX Graph

this should help

#8

not working I did try

#9

How do you move it? Using force/velocity or translating the system?

#10

I did use Set position Sequential Circle and then after adding the set position on the update particle and added rotated 3D with get attribute position in vfx graph

#11

ok so that’s why along Velocity is not working, as there is no Velocity. Hmm will try to think of some solution

#12

Actually not sure how to do it.
Maybe some way would be to getting the Position and some previous position and then calculating vector to get a facing direction, but I might be over thinking it

#13

Thanks but I tried multiple positions that did not work.

#14

T_T prob can’t help you then

#15

could you pre-animate something on the path for them to ‘look at’ ?
otherwise you might need a Advanced setup Orient: Face [Mode] | Visual Effect Graph | 10.2.2) some tangent crossProduct, arcTangent — unfortunately i’m grasping at maths straws (problem has surpassed my skillset)

Thanks a lot , I will look out that

#17

I did try ‘Look at the position’ worked but the issue is that if I look a little bit upper position face is facing towards you can see in this video face is tilted, not coming straight see Dropbox - movie_031.mp4 - Simplify your life

not sure if I understand 100%, I think you need two specified axes, part of the Block property definitions for advanced setup

with just the single aim/‘look at’ I think you can build this with x2 of em like a simple rig

  • Parent
    — Shape
  1. Shape – ‘look at something’ that is on the path ahead of shape
  2. Parent – ‘look at something’ to fix the orientation that aims the top to a fixed location high above.

Thanks for the reply, I don’t know how to do that can you send me an Image or tutorial link so I can follow that?
