In this tutorial, PIXXO 3D introduces you to using Blender’s Geometry Nodes to make any object point towards another object. This beginner-friendly guide by PIXXO helps you understand a fundamental technique in motion graphics.

Setting Up the Scene

• Start with a new scene in Blender.
• Create a simple arrow object and a target object (Suzanne).

Creating the Arrow

• Add a cone and modify it to create an arrow shape.
• Apply a bevel modifier and enable auto-smooth shading for a polished look.

Adding the Target Object

• Insert Suzanne (the monkey head) and apply a subdivision modifier for smoother geometry.

Geometry Nodes Setup

• Add a Geometry Nodes modifier to the arrow.
• Create a new node tree and name it “Look At.”
• Use Object Info nodes to reference Suzanne and the arrow.
• Calculate the vector between the arrow and Suzanne using Vector Math.
• Align the arrow’s rotation to this vector with the Align Rotation to Vector node.
• Instance the arrow and apply the rotation.

Testing the Setup

• Move Suzanne around to see the arrow dynamically point towards her.
