  LEVEL 1 MODULE: GETTING AROUND: TAKING A CLOSER LOOK - OVERVIEW
  
  Although you can walk up to an object to see it, there are much more
  efficient ways to see things in Second Life. Being able to stay in one spot and
  quickly view something from different angles is very important when building and
  creating, for example. In this module, you will learn easy ways to see something
  from multiple viewpoints - without moving your avatar.

  • • Using the computer keyboard to focus, zoom and pan 
    • Using the camera control feature to focus, zoom and pan 
  • when the object or person moves
  • This is a great way to go around your subject
  • did you know you can look at the object from above and below as well
  • With the Alt key pressed down, click on your avatar. While continuing to hold the Alt key down use the arrow keys to spin around your avatar. This is a great way to see what your avatar looks like from the front.
