# simdLook(at:)

Changes the node’s orientation so that its local forward vector points toward the specified location.

## Declaration

```swift
func simdLook(at worldTarget: simd_float3)
```

## Parameters

- `worldTarget`: The point, in world space, to face the node toward.

## Discussion

Discussion Using this method is equivalent to calling the simdLook(at:up:localFront:) method and passing the node’s simdWorldUp and simdLocalFront vectors for the corresponding parameters. The effects of this method are animatable; that is, calling this method during an implicit-animation transaction animates the rotation effect. (See Animating SceneKit Content.)
