LookAt
LookAt is a special Vertex Options feature that manipulates the Vertices to face towards the Camera in a billboard-like fashion. It can be used to allow your model's Eyes to always focus towards the third-person's point of view.
LookAt is considered an Advanced Feature. Therefore, it is not made for beginners.
LookAt may not behave correctly with Avatar Scaling! Therefore, you may need to do some math to account for scaling changes if opting for scaling-related Animator Parameters.
