Hello @BrookeM, this is Sydney the moderator. Welcome to the forums! :smiley: Moved this to Directing Helps and Tips since this is about coding. Make sure to check out our Forum Tutorial for more info about where to correctly create topics, and feel to PM me if there are any questions. :wink:

i’m not very good at coding myself, but you could use spot directing, if you know how to. if not, i can link a tutorial that helped me. but you could spot direct them and have one facing forward and the other two in the rear positions, creating a sort of triangle? sorry if i haven’t been much help!

also don’t forget to add layers! i can help you with those as well if you want xoxo
