Dummy as a Looked Target (New for 5)
When you need a prop to be looked at from head to toe by other characters or props; as it only have one pivot, the other objects can only looks at its pivot.
By using dummies, the other objects can thus look at the prop's different parts.
-
Apply a main prop. The other objects such as the characters can only look at its pivot.
-
Apply several primitive props spreading around on the target prop. You may optionally remove all the textures from these dummy-to-be props to downsize the project.
-
Select the primitive props and individually enable the Set as Dummy box in the Prop section of the Modify
panel.
-
Attach all the dummies to the main prop.
|
The highlight of the dummy prop turns to red.

-
Use the Look At feature of the other objects to look at these
different dummies.
Please note that you may show/hide the dummies by using the shortcut, Ctrl + D.
