Turn to walk backwards

[Teagan Tobias]

Turn to walk backwards, how do I make my avatar do this? Not that I think it is so important to walk like that but its the only way I can see the front of me to see how my Mesh is moving over my body. Any help would be appreciated.

Using LL latest Beta viewer.

A rather strange way of doing it, changing your viewer settings, walking, and then changing them back again, but it works, thanks. I guess I didn't really expect anything better from LL viewer, but I can't complain if I don't use it. :matte-motes-dont-cry:

In Firestorm it's really easy:

Just check the "Turn avatar around when walking backwards".

Unfortunately Linden Lab viewer does not have this option.

Don't use FS, but thanks.

That's an AO based function, I think. My AO turns my avatar automatically and I see her front view. Firestorm offers that option because it's got a built-in AO.

as does Singularity. It's a clickerbox somewhere in Prefs. Of course LL won't give you half of the functionality, that's why most residents are using TPVs.

If you simply need to see how your rigged mesh performs, why not play animations and use Crtl+Alt Left Click to orbit the camera around your avatar?

Or better yet, look around for some Posing stands. Many come with several animations built into them for this exact puspose. You could probably find stands to "borrow" in random clothing stores as well.
