<TA>Menu-driven Modeling Poser Version 1.0

<TA>Menu-driven Model Poser
===================================================

Photographers wishing to pose two or more models in SL run into numerous problems due to the limits of in-world avatar movement. However, a model posed on a poser can be positioned precisely as desired.

While there are many posers available that have script based movement and rotation options, we have found that these move and rotate in some set increment and cannot always be adjusted to the exact position and rotation desired.

Our system relies on the Edit option that items in-world have. Simply right-click the poser, select "Edit" and you can move it in any direction any fraction of a meter and, likewise, rotate it in fractions of degrees. Thus, you can position a model or group of models exactly where you want them to be.

Once on the poser, the model can select from numerous poses. It comes preloaded, and you can easily add more poses by simply dropping them in. (See below.)

When everything is they way you want it, a simple command typed in chat hides all the posers you are using, and you are ready to take the picture.

(Detailed instructions are provided, further down.)

##Considerations##

-- You can only use this in places were you have Rez ability.
-- You will need to be able to use the Edit capacity of SL. See below for more on that.

!!!! WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW HOW TO DO BEFORE BUYING THIS !!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or be willing to learn to do afterwards) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Rez objects in world.

2. Use the Edit interface to move and rotate objects.

-- MOVING: Select the object in-world. Red, Green, and Blue arrows will appear on the object. Click on one of the arrows to move the object in that direction.

-- ROTATING: Select the object in-world. Hold down the CTL key on your keyboard. Red, Green, and Blue circles will take the place of the arrows. Click on one of the circles to rotate the object in that plane.

3. Duplicate objects in-world.

-- Select the object in-world. Red, Green, and Blue arrows will appear on the object. Click on one of the arrows and hold down the SHIFT key. Drag the object while holding down SHIFT using the color arrow or your choice. The object will duplicate. (This is at least true using the Firestorm viewer.)

Instructions:

1 Rez a copy of the poser in world. Edit its position so that it is about knee-high above the ground.

2. Have the first model of the group sit on the poser. (Pick the "Model" option from the menu.) The poser is configured so that the model poses to the side of the poser, leaving it easily available for clicking upon to move or rotate.

3. Orient the model using the edit tool to move and rotate the poser until the model is facing essentially the direction you desire and is at close to the right height..

4. Have the model stand up. Duplicate the now-oriented poser for each model in the scene. (You MAY want to change the texture on the copies so your models will know which poser is theirs. You could just add a color over the texture, as well.)

5. Have models sit on posers. Give them a copy of the Pose ID Card. Have them pick poses and orient them in the scene exactly as desired. Generally, after moving the poser, the model will need to stand and re-sit in order for the menu to work.

6. Type "/99 hide" to hide the posers.
-- If you need to have the models change poses, and if they closed their menu, type "/99 show" to show the posers.

7. Shoot your pictures.

8. Type "99 show" to un-hide the posers. Pick them up from in-world. (Right-click on them, select "Take" and they should return to your inventory, where the original is located. If you select "Delete" they will go into your trash.)

MODIFICATIONS

###Load Your Own Dances###

5. Close the edit window and the poser should reload.
