Question Adding POV mode to existing scenes: Are there suitable tools?

[Jojo085]

There are scenes that have not been given a POV mode. Is there a tool or extension that can be used to add a POV mode later?

yes. Theres is embody and passenger you can add anytime to a scene.

Usually POV mode is designed by the creator and not by VaM system automatically. It‘s up to the creator. If you want to use POV mode, you can manually add addons such as embody to the character that you want to embodied. In my case (as a creator), using POV mode in desktop mode makes the eye contact weird frequently, so have a tendency to not include POV ability in my scene. (another reason is that I don’t have HMD. =) Adding embody plugin to the character is quite easy and I suggest to try it. There is good how-to-description in the publishers page.

Also I recommend UIAssist if you are in VR, it allows to create custom buttons easily, and it has an option to add a button with "embody" action (will do everything for you)

I was just about to post this same question so happy to see someone else has asked it. But all I want to do is add a POV button to an existing scene that did not include one, then save this modified scene with the button and Embody plugin so I'll always have the POV button every time I load the scene. Do I need the UI Assist plugin to do this or is there a simpler way?

If you use UIAssist, you can skip entirely changing the scene and instead can set buttons in UIA to add and control the Embody plugin. I have those in UIA and use them all the time, in my scenes and others'.

How does UIAssist know which model I want to use Embody on? I was also asking this in regards to if I want to build a scene to upload here, how do I add a POV button?

There's multiple ways to pick, like any person, any fe/male person, by name, etc. Check the UIA instructions.

A POV button is just a button with triggers you set to, for example, set Embody on X person to Active, or any other trigger you'd like.
