[Closed] Align Object to View on every frame

Hi All

I have some labels that I want to render in 3D with an animated camera, however I want them to always be aligned to the view (so they are straight up and down, no rotation).

I can use the Align to View function, however that is a one off application per frame.

Is there any way to script something so that all my labels automatically align to view for every frame of an animation?

Thanks

Best would be to use the LookAt constraint for each label’s rotation. Look it up in the help files, it’s pretty easy to set up.

Thanks Pokoy, but a look at constraint doesn’t keep the labels upright and aligned to view (which is a calculation based off the viewport) – they tilt on axis at the edges of the screen even when constrained to only one axis of rotation.

I think I might have a solution though, which I’ll put up here soon for reference.
