The tip in this post relies on one of the oldest expressions in the Cinema 4D tool box; the Target Tag.

In the video below, we take a look at how the tag works, and what happens if you make two objects look at each other. Once we’ve covered that, we take a quick look at how we can use this in a real-world example.

Here are some stills from the production
