FREE CAM (DRONE)
*only works with keyboard and mouse controls
------------------------------------------------------
Free Cam is a favorite of most users, but if you don't understand how it works, it most likely freak you out the first time. Don't panic.
What is the FREECAM (Drone)?
Just like a real world drone - it is detached from your avatar body. That means while your camera roams, your avatar remains still.
How Do I Activate the FREECAM DRONE?
- Bottom toolbar: FREECAM button
- Top toolbar: Cameras / Free Cam
The Drone Launch - CALL DRONE HOME:
Your drone launches from the region landing point... and sometimes your initial camera view will be obscured from normalcy. EASY FIX. Keep reading.
Bottom Info Bar has a "Call Drone Home" button. Click it and it will return to your side.
Drone Travel:
Once you launch your FreeCam Drone on a region, it follows instructions and will remain where you left it. This gives you the freedom to switch between cameras.
Example:
-
- Drone is in a different room than your avatar.
- You switch to 3rd Person for some reason.
- When you switch back to FREECAM DRONE, it will remain where you left it.
HOT TIP: Use FREECAM DRONE for Persistant Animations
We recommend switching to FREECAM DRONE when you activate a persistant animation. That will give you full freedom of using keyboard and mouse, not interrupting your chosen animation.
Example 01:
- You activate a sit animation.
- If you DON'T activate FREE CAM, touching the wrong key or moving your mouse will result in your avatar standing.
Example 02:
- You activate a dance animation.
- If you DON'T activate FREE CAM, touching the wrong key or moving your mouse will result in your avatar returning to and idle stance.
