What's in the package?
The Backdrop
Your backdrop comes as a copyable item and uses 12 prims.
The backdrop controller
Besides your backdrop, you’ll find three different versions of the controller in your package. All these controllers offer the exact same functionality.
HUD: The HUD-controller can be attached to a HUD-Spot on your viewer. Right-click, wear to attach it to its default location.
There is also an in-world controller included.
Setting up
The Backdrop
To set up your backdrop, simply “rez” it by selecting the object in your inventory and dragging it to the ground. This is all there needs to be done to set up your backdrop.
However, please keep in mind that:
- The parcel you’re rezzing on needs to have at least 41 prims free.
- If you’re on group owned land, make sure you are wearing the right tag and you’re allowed to use scripts.
- Be sure to rezz the backdrop in such a way there is room enough for you to move your camera around while taking
pictures. Rezzing your backdrop with its back against a wall is perfectly fine, however it's not a good idea to rez the backdrop with one of the other sides against a wall.
The Backdrop Controller
Setting up your backdrop controller is as simple as setting up your backdrop.
To start using the HUD controller, simply right-click it and select wear. It will then attach to the default HUD-location. (bottom center) To use an in-world controller, simply rezz one in-world.
