A more natural, immersive camera position!

Penny Patton has written a great deal about the benefits of scaling everything in SL down -- a long-term project for sure.  The main reason that structures have had to be larger than necessary is that the camera position is set so far back away from the avi that walls, doorways, and ceilings are often in the way --- so the answer has been to just making everything large enough that it doesn't happen. And this leads to warehouse-sized rooms and huge doorways (and then we make huge avatars to fit those).

So the first step is fixing the camera so everything is easily seen but your avi can easily navigate smaller spaces -- more like in other video games, and more immersive.

Penny gives two different settings to change in order to fix that, but in my opinion, just doing the one below is not only sufficient but preferable:

To make your camera position more like other video games:

1. Go into the Advanced menu at the top of your window (if it does not show, do Control > Alt (or Option) D ).

2. Open Debug Settings at the bottom. Type in whatever is given below for your viewer version:



CameraOffsetDefault (In Viewer 1 based viewers, including TPVs like Ascent/Phoenix/Imprudence)

CameraOffsetRearView (In Viewer 2 including TPVs such as Firestorm, Kokula, Kirstens, Starlight and Catznip)

3. Then enter these numbers:

X: -2.000
Y: -0.400 (Make positive for a left shoulder view or keep 0.000 for a centred view.)
Z: -0.200
