Hey everyone,

I hope you guys can help, I've been searching all day for information and figured I'd turn to the forum. It's a pretty noob question but can someone explain to me step by step how to get my camera to look at a null or any SOP object and track it through the sky as it moves? In the older versions of Houdini it was sitting under the transform panel on the camera. Any help would be amazing.

You can click the add constraint menu on the camera to add the constraint, or use the tool from the scene viewer, or click the shelf button.
