I'm looking for a jewellery box....you know the types that are able to have a ballerina on when you open it... I liked the freebie one from here by cruzan but for the life of me i cant get it to turn around 180deg...it stays permanently with its back to me. Anyone know of anything similar that is a lot easier to pose so I dont land up bald after pulling my hair out lol ? Ty in advance. :O)

Mystified... What stays with its back to you? The box or the ballerina? Anyhow, if all else fails, you could make your own from a couple of Poser cubes and Posette.

ive made my ballerina myself...using the metalika doll from vali..but the jewellery box when i put it into poser...it will go up/down, left/right, and round in a big circle....but wont actually turn 180 ..... i wouldnt know how to start to make a box out of cubes...lmao id probably land up with something totally different than what its meant to be... i cant even find a jewellery box to buy..never mind a free one...guess i will perservere for now....grrr lmao

Just a thought, have you tried rotating the camera instead of the prop? I seem to remember (but my memory is faulty) someone making the type of music box you are looking for when the Koshini "Music Box Dancer" package was released. The Koshini package includes a music box base with a winding key but not a jewelry box. SAMS3D comes to mind but I didn't see it in their archives.

i had a look on sams 3d...i even searched on the net lol... I tried the camera angle and when id done it....i wasnt happy with it at all so Ive sorta decided to scrap that idea and am sitting here thinking of something else lol...now...thats even harder today lol..but ty to u both for your help :O)

Have you tried manually setting the yRotate to 180?

If the box is a figure, make sure the body is selected, if it's a prop, just have it selected for this, it should work unless the x,y,z coordinates for the box aren't the same as Poser's when it's loaded.

i tried that...lol ive gone from the jewellery box to something completely different.....but ty so much all the same :O)

For the ballerina... load a ball prop, scale it down as needed then parent the ballerina to it. ( turn the ball invisable after parenting).Use the ball to rotate. I had a 3D chair doing what you said, up/down, all around except where I wanted. Used this trick and could turn and fit under a table.

With the rustiness of the figure, it would have been interesting to see a Dumpster, metal barrel, or other industrial container as her box.

good idea...i may do that next time....thanks :O)
