I just did a quick test, and it appears to work OK for me. Can you give some more details and screenshots of what if not working for you? Have you got "Refresh Geometry Each Frame" ticked?

Yes - you must manually refresh each frame change - since Poser does not send a "geometry changed" event when a "Point At" prop/actor has changed.

When rendering an animation, tick the "Refresh Scene Each Frame" checkbox and it will render correctly.

Refresh Scene Each Frame fuction can slow down the render ..
is it possible add a feature for refresh only the mesh checked ?

The mesh vertices are changing - so ticking Refresh Scene Each Frame" is required.
