HOW TO: Bar XPOSE

An XPOSE is a system that is used in many items in SL such as furniture including sofas, sex beds and lots of things that have one or more avatars being animated. The XPOSE system not only allows for the animation of avatars, it also allows precise rezzing of objects. At NotTooHot we use an XPOSE to manage the rezzing and de-rezzing of items associated with the bar.

The NotTooHot Bar XPOSE is located under the bar at the Club just below the DJ equipment.



Here is a photo from behind the bar. See the black square under the bar. That's the Bar XPOSE. When you move your cursor over the square, a small hand appears. Left click and you get a blue menu in the upper right (with Firestorm). Here is an example of the menu as of this writing.



The menu leads to different items that are stored in the rezzer. Clicking on a button rezzes that item on or near the bar. Usually clicking on a different item de-rezzes the currently rezzed item and replaces it with the clicked item. To remove everything that has been rezzed, just click on the 'STOP' button. Here is the empty bar, with Marv just hanging out.


Any member can rezz items to have fun. Please de-rezz the item when you are finished. If you want something specific added to the XPOSE, let me know.

I will identify items that are added to the Bar XPOSE and give more information about their use in separate notes.
