Camera Lock
I've been meaning to post this for weeks now, but better late than never: Here is a very simple little script that proved to be invaluable for taking posed snapshots in Second Life. Slap the script in a HUD object, move your camera to the desired position, and say "/2 lock." The current camera position will be stored for later use. Just touch the HUD or say "/2 camera," and the camera will leap back to the position in memory and stay there until released (by touching or saying "/2 camera" again). Nothing particularly high tech, and I'm far from the first to have come up with this. But it makes things much easier for SL photographers, especially if you yourself want to be in the shot. Setup the camera, lock it in place, and then walk your avatar into the frame.
Shrug. And I guess that's it.
