TUTORIALS - LEARN HOW


PLEASE READ THE BLOG POST ON HOW TO GET STARTED WHEN YOU'VE PURCHASED SEVERAL TOOLS:
"So you've bought several Tools, now what?"

Below are links to the pages that get you familiar with your new tools.  Please read them carefully and refer back to them often if you need answers.  These are some suggested steps to take to learn your new system.
NEW TO SPOT ON CHOREOGRAPHY TOOLS?
If you purchased the Performance Director at the same time as one of our mover systems (Choreography Design System or the Group Formation System), we recommend learning your new mover system first because you must configure one of those to use this HUD.  You can use any dance HUD while learning to use a mover system. 

FIRST - PUT ANIMATIONS INTO YOUR HUD 
You must of course put animations into your HUD.  Rez your HUD to the ground and using the SL Edit tools, drag animations from your inventory to your HUD Contents tab.  It is recommended you use only the animations you need for a given show.  You can rename your HUD only while it is rezzed.  When finished, take it back into your inventory and WEAR or ADD it.  You can change where the HUD appears on your screen using the SL Edit tools.  

LEARN AND CREATE

IMPORTANT - HOW TO UPDATE AND/OR INCREASE DANCER SLOTS
Your HUD comes with the default of 8 dancer slots.  If you plan to use more dancers, you'll need to use the included Updater.  Watch the Youtube video to do this quick procedure.
