e Toolbox and the Joystick
e original LUMIPro tool is the Eye Gazer.
By rezzing a controllable prim, controllable
by the HUD, photographers were able to
position a model’s eyes anywhere. With the
advent of the High Resolution Gazer in ver-
sion 3.4, it was no longer necessary to rez
a prim—especially useful on no-rez sims!
Now, the joystick area poses the model’s
eyes directly. With 121 possible positions in
the Joystick zone—far more than any other
eye gazer—you can nd the perfect look for
your model, whether gazing directly at the
camera, at another model, or anywhere else.
Note: you can still rez an Eye Gazer from
the REZ button, but it only works in areas
where you can rez objects.
New for LUMIPro 2017! Now you can con-
trol yours or your model’s lights right from
the HUD. Using the light selector buttons at
the bottom of the Colors panel (see below),
you can chose to move the red ball, the
green ball, the blue ball, or all the balls (the
white button).
Quick tip: to quickly select which light
you want to move for the selected model,
simply touch whichever light ball you want
to control, and the HUD will automatically
select that light for movement!
e Sit Ball is one of those tools that you
wonder how you ever lived without. Put
your model anywhere on your stage, and
they’ll be pinned right there as you nd
the perfect light and pose. You can use SL’s
Edit mode to put the into rough position,
then use a combination of the Direction
buttons and the Joystick to ne-tune the
position. When you click inside the Joystick
area for the Sit Ball, it will rotate around the
photographer—much like a projector will
rotate around a model. If you are both pho-
tographer and model, it will rotate around
a point about 2 meters from your center.
Note: the sit ball only works in areas where
you can rez objects.
e Projector is a powerful tool, a strong,
focused light that will cast shadows and
images onto the model. Clicking inside
the Joystick area will move the Projector
around an imaginary sphere centered on
the model. Note: you can only rez projec-
tors in areas that allow you rez perms. For
those cases, you can choose the Wearable
Projectors.
