Detailed Description

This helper implements a node that automatically rotates so that it is always pointed towards a specified node. The rotation only happens over X and Y axes.

For example, the following snippet keeps the cylinder pointed at the cube.

View3D { anchors.fill: parent camera: camera

PerspectiveCamera {
    id: camera
}

DirectionalLight {}

LookAtNode {
    target: cube

    Model {
        id: cylinder
        source: "#Cone"
        eulerRotation.x: -90
        materials: [
            PrincipledMaterial {}
        ]
    }
}

Model {
    id: cube
    position: Qt.vector3d(300, 300, 0);
    source: "#Cube"
    materials: [ PrincipledMaterial {} ]
}

}
