hi all, i have a somewhat irritating 'problem'.
I am making some 'props' for a sim and the posing are to be made without poseballs. -eg the -actual- prop must contain the animation and the pose-script.
This makes it rather difficult to place the av -precisely-
A lot of trial&error is needed to finetune the vector for the placing.
Is there a somewhat smarter way to do that without all that t&e fiddling?
tyia.
Ab

Here's a simple method: 1. Rez a prim, and give it a sit target of <0,0,0>, so that the avatar will be seated at its center. 2. Sit your avatar on it, optionally turn it transparent, and move it so that the avatar appears to be sitting on the furniture, in the right location. 3. Note the the prim's location, subtract the furniture's location from that, and now you've got your offset. Happy seating.

also note there is a difference between a male and a female sitting on a object. I have a male avatar and always have to have his bum positioned deeper in the object so that a female avatar doesn't look like they are floating above it, in the end it's finding a compromise between the two.
