You wear this HUD on you viewer screen.
You can save camera positions where your at or where ever you camera is pointed.
You can save up to 12 positions and give them unique names.
Pick a camera position from the "Set Position" menu list and your camera moves to that position and leaves your AVI behind. (You may have to press your ESC key after your select your position to get the camera to respond to the new position.)
To get your camera back click the "Default Position"
button.
The camera repositioning works within the draw range you have set in your viewer's preferences. I have my draw range set at 512 meters. So that's how far I can send my camera from me.
The farther you send your camera from your AVI the harder it is to control it's movements. If you want to move your camera around after you sent it a few hundred meters away, I find that if I click the magnifying glass on the Viewer's camera control, It's easier to control my remote camera.
Remember to click "Default Position" on the HUD to get your camera back. Or you can just detach the HUD.
The Main Menu of the HUD reads:
Save Position.
Set Position: positions your camera to your defined locations
DeletePosition: Deletes one of your saved positions.
DefaultPostion: Returns your camera to your AVI.
ClearAll: Deletes all saved positions and resets the HUD.
Exit: Just closes the Dialog box.
Again, if the camera seems not to move after you set a position press the ESC key a couple of times. This is a viewer thing.
Does the job for a lot less L$
This may not be as pretty as some of the other multi-hundred linden$ HUD's for controlling your camera, but for the price, this does the job perfectly. The maximum of 12 saved camera positions is actually plenty in most situations, and being dialog driven, the HUD itself doesn't take up very much space at all. Could be prettier, but at this price, it's not a problem at all.
