DUDE!! I know you posted this back in 2016, but this helped me SO much!!! My cat ran across my computer and messed up my viewing. I tried everything. I even uninstalled SL and reinstalled it and it was still having me me look more upwards then directly forward. The very first one you showed fixed it. Thank you!!!
Yeah He is awesome right? same happened to me when pressing buttons accidently lolz glad you like this like I do..
2023 and this is still helping Thanks

Yay I am so glad its helpful!
I've been on sl for close to 10 years and I love these settings Thank you so much it's amazing indeed.... A Big Thank You
You never fail to teach me something new right when I need it most. It's crazy how a few little tweaks or, learning a new shortcut can improve the quality of SLife dramatically! As always, Thank you kindly Butta!
I recently looked for this again because I lost my previous sl settinigs when I had to reinstall. this is so useful and helpful.
Thank you, sooooooo much for this video! I've been on SL for 2.5 years and have HATED the default view the entire time. I've searched and asked for how to change it. I'm super happy now!
YAY! Glad it was useful.
Love your video tutorials! I just set FocusOffsetRearView etc. to those in your video & WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! I love my new view. Just tweeking these camera view numbers has made my SL more enjoyable. Can't wait to see more of your video lessons for SL!
I am so glad that it was helpful!
So grateful for this video,can't thank You enough *_* Funny I just get to know these things after nearly 5 years :D Cause I just started making movies & realized I have to find a better way around with camera etc... First time today I got to see things around me much more clearly & was able to compare sizes :D Thnx sooooooo much for sharing this info I treasure it now...
I am glad it was helpful.
@@ButtacwupPwincess *_* huuugs sooooo much
I didn't even realise how much I needed that, thank you!
It makes such a huge difference! Glad you found it useful.
Thank you so much!!! Ive been looking for this for so long!! You explained it perfectly.
Literally the most USEFUL thing I've learned! Thank you for this! xoxo
Thank you so much. Finally an answer that no one else could help me with because I like playing a Toddleedoo and the default camera view was so far above my head that I could not even see myself. :)
Yep. there are some HUDs meant for the real small avatars, but really all they are doing is changing these settings. Glad it was helpful.
Very useful tips, makes a huge difference! Thank you.
OMG! Thank you so much! This fixed my camera after my settings got reset!
wow, tyvm. I was so tired of looking down. Glad I found this. Again tyvm.
I see this video is a couple of years old.....but it saved me!!! I was in camera nightmare mode! TY TY TY!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad it was helpful!
English isn't my first language and I have always to deal with accents. But I have to say that yours is understandable to me even tho you talk a bit fast sometime. Anyhow, I get the sense mainly and thank you for sharing your tips. Was very useful :)
Thanks. I do try to limit my pace but yes sometimes I just get rolling.
thank you so much, after 12 years in sl I did not knew this ;)
Very welcome
I thought I was late Tina it took me 5 years to realize :D eehhehe
Makes alot of sense , yes this is helpful , thank you
this is really awesome, great for making videos too!! thank you very much!!
I am glad its helpful!
Thanks this was a awesome help and tutorial.
Love this. I spend so much time trying to get my camera angles right and this explains it perfect. Also what AO are you using? I love how your avi twirls when it turns around instead of the awkward half steps mine does now
its a custom AO. A lot of animations from Body Language though. Glad the video was helpful. ; )
I noticed that you mention that your cute AO is a custom mix of different animations. Would it be possible for you to make a video of how we can make our own mix of animations?
thank you , found this very helpful x
Awesome. Gald it was!
Thank you for doing this video very helpful. I hate the default too
First think i change when i redo settings or swap viewers.
Great video
Great tip!! Thank you!
Most welcome!
I was super happy I found this video. I changed the settings, and when i use the camera controls it defaults back to standard settings. I did as suggested in comments and changed the debug settings, and logged out. When i logged back in the view was correct until i used the camera controls again. I wonder why it's not wanting to stick. (using Firestorm viewer)
I've been playing SL since 2004 and always have used the default views. I think I might change that tonight lol. That option looks much nicer.
It really makes a huge difference seeing things from this perspective. you will have to let me know what you think after you try it.
Hey, it really did make a huge difference. It took awhile getting used to having the cam offset instead of straight on my back, but I like it much better and it makes the world feel much more immersible. Thanks for the info, now if I could just bare to go through years of inventory to organize like you do haha.
Well. Maybe dont worry so much about being as insane as me. But I always suggest people spend at least a bit of time sorting.
Thank you!
Very helpful
Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!
Really useful!
I am glad. Thanks for commenting.
this really helped thank you
I am glad it was useful!
Did you make a video about your graphic settings. It look amazing and smooth.
i dont think i ever have no.
Oh my God, what's that AO?! I love it!
a custom mix of animations.
Thanks - awesome ;)
You Rock! Thank YOU!!!
I am glad it was helpful : )
Thanks!!!
Do you recall what AO you were wearing in this video?
i make my own with animations from a lot of places.
I'd love to know how you make your game look this good tbh, is it a windlight or just high graphics perhaps?
I tend to run on high most of the time but tend to run region windlight so I suppose it's more the graphics setting.
@@ButtacwupPwincess Ahh thank you kindly! I need to get a better PC >
Ty for this
Very welcome
What is the AO your avatar is using here ? Please.
Its a mix of animations from a few places. Mostly from Sweet Lovely Cute
Watching in 2018 again lol. Settings got reset somehow. I feel like everyone else is a tall freak of nature, and then I'm soo short. They make these settings for giant avatars lol. And my avi isn't really that short compared to most avatars. I've been tall before. I really just wish the camera would stay behind me and not go up over my head. It's hard to look at things in SL. End Rant.
The camera position in SL by default is a large part of why avatar scale is a bit out of line with "reality". It is nice at least that those of us who want to can make adjustments.
The default camera is likely the main reason there are so many giant avatar shapes in SL. I use multiple viewers and always go in to the debug when setting one up for the first time to set the camera and focus to something similar to what you do. My shape is over 6 feet tall by actual in world measurement rulers, and yet I still look like a child next to common shapes that people buy. I also blame the default camera for the abundance of badly proportioned shapes that have been sold over the years. As an artist, it drives me crazy to see tiny heads, short arms, and long legs. But that is what looks "normal" to people using the default camera view.
yes its a terrible way to look at the world generally, and does lead to all sorts of building miscues.
My beef is that avi's of radically different heights don't line up on most multi-person animations, which are (ahem) quite popular. As I understand it, the hips are used for general alignment, so the shorter avi's feet and the body just kind of dangle.
thank you very much
Thank you so much
welcome
Just want you to know i love your videos they are a big help, i'm one of your subscribers, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much buttacwup💕
Welcome!!
what do you record with
I use OBS: Open Broadcaster Software
How do you fix the front camera when I go to front camera it goes offset
i dont use the front camera muc, but there are debug settings for it as well. just replacerear with front and mess with the settings
how u make everything dissapear at the bottom tho?
Not sure what you mean?
So where is the front veiw info at I need help with it
Just replace rear with front in the debug settings.
I have set my graphics to ultra but it still look like blur how to fix?
well I dont really know what you mean by "a blur". Best to check with the support group for your viewer in world. That way you cna provide specific details on what you are seeing.
will catzip give you virus and is it better then firestorm
Virus no. As for "better", I think it is but it is different from Firestorm. It doesn't have as many items in preferences or as many custom features.
Every time I log back in ot goes back to default settings 😔
you are likely quietly crashing on exit. Might try logging in fresh, changing the setting and then immediately relogging to get them to save.
Why isn't this default in SL? Weird.
These are perfect settings, no matter how tall you are. There is no "perfect" or "accurate" height. That's completely relative.
i wish he had step written down
Would you be willing to sell your custom AO on the marketplace by chance???
I would love to buy it 💗💗💗
It's super cute and sexy💜💜💜
the animations are not mine to sell. The set is simply a custom collection of animations from various sources
what hair is that? so cute
Goodness, it's been so long I am not sure. I usually wear hair from Limerence, Truth and Doe.
@@ButtacwupPwincess I wasn't able to find it, if you find the name of it let me know♥
For those who also were curious, I found it, its called Sienna by DeLa hair
@@gwenp9476 I would have never guessed its been ages since i wore anything from DeLa hair. Glad you found it!!
@@ButtacwupPwincess its ok! thank you!! ^^
1:40 to get to the point of the title
sadface....nothing is happening
i had to reset all my default settings in firestorm due to difficulties setting my preferences. Thank you for the video
