Eye focus while "self-picturing"

Hi guys,

I do some photography in SL and in the past, I was able to take pics of myself with certain poses without too much of a problem. However, some poses are giving me problems with eye focus.

Do we know a product or device that allows someone to adjust eye focus taking a picture of themselves?

I currently use the Photosphere, which doesn't have any feature to address that.

My favorite way so far is to make a "camera" or "look at me" prim and make it toggle to transparent by chat command. I made one myself already and can give it to you when I go on this evening. I'll try to remember, but, please IM me as a reminder just in case. (^_^)y

The Cali-Cam system works for me. You will need pre-defined camera coordinates loaded into the camera system, a pose stand, a priority 4 pose, and a focus prim (off camera). The eye's will still blink, but should remain focused on the prim.

Why get a device? ;) If you alt-click on yourself, your eyes will point forward. :) Otherwise, simply look at a prim like others have said, although if you move it behind (past) the camera, you don't even need to drop an alpha texture on it! :cool:

It's a time saver, not to mention far more precise - sort of like the difference between using a computer with a printer, and a typewriter with whiteout.

Yeah it's a b*tch getting SL to run on my typewriter :)

Actually this has always annoyed me and resulted in hundreds of pic of ppl looking in the wrong direction - so I always stuck to landscape photography - so the suggestions above are extrermly helpful actually
