If you’re making your own simple props by exporting OBJs, you might have a hard time positioning them. Maybe you want your figure to have matching bracelets on each wrist, and you have the left one in the perfect position, but you just can’t get the right one into position. Or you’ve made a custom cat ear prop for a half-human, half-beast character and gotten one ear into position, but the other ear isn’t cooperating.
