Hey Gamestarf - why not rent the dvd and then you can pause the film and take photos? Just a thought...

Should be an interesting model - good luck!

Maybe i can make timon and pumba to when i finish simba...
Maybe i was thinking about the opening scene of the movie.
But thats gonna take a lot of time.
if i have time i will try to do these extras.
But currently im only working on simba first.

Update:
I can take screens cause teh dvd is protected...
And my camera is broken :headbang:

Just group the leg to itself so that the pivot point sits at the origin point on the grid. Then go to edit>duplicate>options. Reset the settings and then change the x scale setting (the first box) to a minus 1 and hit apply.

If your model is set up with the front of your model facing front, it should work. user added image
