I just now tried altering the Z Quaternion by 11.25, which combined with the 45 degree angle cheat will give you rotations of 56.25, 101.25 and 146.25. Doing 33.75 also would give you the missing mid-range angles of those: 33.75, 78.75, 123.75 and 168.75. Those would give you a fairly wide variety of rotation, but I could also go smaller than that with 5.625 and 16.875, which would give you eight more options, with very slight differences in rotation. That would be four more shelves total.


Yeah right........(like I know wtf a Z Quater-majigit is)......just do it already!

What a fantastic set! Wow! Thank you!!
Do you plan to provide a collection file?

I was looking for the perfect set of OMSPs for my story, and this one came along at the right time! I just love it and I think I'll use it often!

I find that 10 degree increments are generally small enough for most purposes, even 15 would probably be fine.

As for the etiquette in duplicating someone else's work, well I really think that AnoeskaB (and TSR more pointedly) should release hack-like things like these to the wider public. To keep it locked up stifles innovation.

Duplication is a waste of everyone's time but in this case, doing it would open the way for more people to examine your work and possibly build on it in the future.

M0rgaine, yes, I can do a collection file. Give me time, I've suddenly got other things on my plate. Should be up by tomorrow though, I should think.

You think 10 would be good? I was kind of leaning towards 5.625, which is half of 11.25, of the extra angle set, but if people think 10 degrees is small enough I can stick with that. Anyone else want to chime in with an opinion?

Well, 5 degrees would be twice as good as 10! I was thinking of the minimum increment that would still cover most uses. I'm sure if you made the extra increments, those who don't need finer adjustments could leave off some of them, provided you implement it as multiple OMSPs.

Have you decided whether you want to do it that way, or as multiple slots instead?

This will revolutionise the pictures in sims stories. Bravo! I can't wait to try it out.

Marvellous! I'm happy to see you are going to do a free version of Anoeska's set, it's silly to bottle up such a hack on subscription. I think 10-degree increments would be enough, but whatever you like really.

One suggestion (maybe for next time): you culd halve the number of files in the set by slaving most of the mehses to one of the basic ones. The invisible recolour would only have to be made (and stored) once, that way.

Thanks so much for these, it's a very innovative creation! Now I just have to decide if I'm keeping any of the old ones.

aelflaed, I am working on rotating ones, but it might be a bit, since I've run into a bit of a snag.

That's a good idea about the mesh-slave. I don't actually know how to do that yet, but I will certainly keep that in mind if I ever do something like this again. It would have been nice to only do the invisible recolor once...

Thanks, Calalily!

snowmoon2001, I've started working on doing that many-slot version, but like I said above, I've run into the very problem I foresaw while rambling on about possibly doing them that way. I am seeking help from more awesome people.

For base game use, or any expansions before OFB, it seems, the simplified CRES rotation will have to do, with many shelves of different starting degrees to accomplish the same thing. It will be cumbersome, but it's the only way I can see of doing it.

This set is absolutely fantastic. You've given me a reason to actually open up my game and try some proper story telling/picture shooting again.

Thank you so much!

Well, I really hate to disappoint those that were looking forward to the rotating OMSPs (free ones), but I've done some more investigating and it is going to be above my head right now, as it requires adding/altering BHAVs and that is just not my forte.
