lookAtControl Settings
Author: Asaf Ben-Zur
Best used for: Eyes, Generic Orientation based components
This module was written to function as an eye IK (look at setup), but can be used for many other generic components.
This module will create a slave control (at root position) which is aim-constraint to custom look-at guide.
The slave control will be the control authority for the joint, as the look-at control will control its orientation.
