AimModifier3D
=============

**Inherits:** :ref:`BoneConstraint3D<class_BoneConstraint3D>` **<** :ref:`SkeletonModifier3D<class_SkeletonModifier3D>` **<** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

The **AimModifier3D** rotates a bone to look at a reference bone.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This is a simple version of :ref:`LookAtModifier3D<class_LookAtModifier3D>` that only allows bone to the reference without advanced options such as angle limitation or time-based interpolation.

The feature is simplified, but instead it is implemented with smooth tracking without euler, see :ref:`set_use_euler()<class_AimModifier3D_method_set_use_euler>`.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AimModifier3D_method_get_forward_axis:
