Camera view/walking question.

Is there a way to view one's avatar walking forward? I know one can slew the camera around to view ones "self" face on, but then if I push the up/walk forward arrow, my avatar turns around and I see his back. Is there a way to hold the camera steady so I can view myself walking forward?

I am not entirely sure why, but my Huddles AO does this for me. Or perhaps it is the walking animation I am using. I am sorry I cannot tell you how to do this, but at least I can confirm that it is in fact possible. Perhaps somebody more knowledeable than I will follow up.

I can't answer you Alastair, but as Persephone says, should be feasible but it's nearly home time at work and I really don't want to start a new job so I'll ask a question;

Why would you want to do this? You'll effectively be walking backwards not seeing where you're going? or do you mean just a short sequence of camera being stationary and you walking to it?

So I don't know when it will work, but maybe half the time holding the down arrow will turn your AV to walk toward the camera! The other half the time she starts to turn around but then turns to walk backward.

Anybody know why?

I find that if you press the down arrow (or s key) alone you walk backwards, but if you click on your avatar and don't let go and then press the down arrow (or s key) then you will turn arround and walk towards the camera. I do this all the time to test walk animations.
