Look. If you're a cheapskate like me you don't want to spend a lot of money on software. The best 3D posing and animation software out right now is Poser. Wouldn't it be a better idea for Second Life to come up with a built in posing or animation creator in the game so that we don't have to rely on software that isn't very compatable with Second Life? Also I think this would stop a lot of animations that I've seen that don't animate well in the game.

Hey Kwipper, I hear ya -- that'd be fun, to have an integrated, inworld pose+anims maker. Prob with that would be the development it entails I'd think, even in the foreseeable future. A more viable thing to look for would be free and affordable 3rd-party solutions, kinda like a motion-counterpart of what GIMP is to Photoshop. I've wanted more simple painting tools in SL for some time though. Even the ability to tweak anims further after you've uploaded them (like change fadeins and whatnot) would be great.  BTW, a number of animations that you're referring to were likely created with some other purpose in mind, and uploaded with incorrect proportions, or made before the improved Avatar models were available for use. |

I agree. It would save me so much time explaining to people what programs can be used with this script, that script, the other script....
That and I still despise Poser.

If it wasn't for the complexity in doing this I'd endorse it. Well, and the fact that we're lucky enough to be able to custom animate now period....it was asking alot.
Simply designing the interface that would allow this would be alot of work, not to mention other integration.
Personally I'd rather see other stuff that:
1) Lets us do something that we currently have NO way of doing at all
or
2) Physics upgrade plz! (which is sort of part of #1)

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!
