SmartDancer Controller always rezzes (or should) SOUTH. (0,0,0).
To determine what your adjustment should be for Animesh, determine how you would have to turn to face South after the Animesh rezzes normally. EX: FinalTurnAdj,Left if your Animesh was rezzed facing WEST.

STEP 15: PLACE ArtistePalette_01_J into the SmartDancer Replicator. (Replace if necessary) . This is Animesh that has all the animations in it.
Be sure the channel in the *replicator nc matches the ChannelForSmartDancerFollower,-897431670 in the *smartdancer nc of the animesh/poseballs, whatever it happens to be then reset the replicator scripts.
STEP 16: TOUCH the SmartDancer Replicator. Get the menu.
STEP 17: 11-07-21: MOVE REPLICATOR so you have room for as many replications as you expect. In this case, 9.

For UPDATES to the SmartDancer Controller, the heart of the system, you will simply and easily just receive a NEW SmartDancer Controller.
But it will be possible to get an updater that just updates one or two scripts when it is a minor change.
For updates to Animesh scripts and notecards, it is a work-in-progress but we have an automated update procedure.
