made in world or are they made with something like poser? I have searched for a tutorial or really anything on creating them and I cant find anything. I made a cute little prim baby in SL. I dont know if that can be animated or anything though.

Poser is an animation program. It can't be used to create anything except animations.

I've never seen a "prim baby", so I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, but 99.99% of all content in SL is made in-world. If these babies were made from sculpties, then it would be a different story, but if they're made entirely from regular prims, then you can be certain they were made in-world.

Prim babies are all made in-world. Generally, the nightmarishly ghoulish ones are created with regular prims, and the just-unsettlingly-freakish ones are made with sculpts, which require the use of external software or services to create.

Prim animation is very hard to do, and is susceptible to unsatisfying results in sims that aren't running at top performance. Some people have done some nifty simulated animation with sculpts, however it can be a very expensive process that can contribute to sim lag.

The few prim babies I have seen were all static prim "dolls" that did nothing themselves, but were usually accompanied by pose scripts that would allow you to hold one, have it nurse from mommy, etc...

I would imagine the better quality ones today might use sculpted prim parts and might do prim animation to make them move a bit. But I haven't looked for such things at all recently.

Don't. You will find unspeakable horrors.

LOL! As I said earlier, I've never seen any of these babies, but your description sums up perfectly what I pictured when I first read the question.

Well, as far as I know, no one makes prim babies that are furries. When a lady friend of mine, and later myself, went through doing an RP pregnancy, we ended up having another friend make our prim baby foxes. Just a cute little fox head poking out of a swaddling blanket.

I made one about 2 months ago as a custom for a hospital in SL, never made one before b ut i fianlly used sculpties and normal prims. Used around 30 prims, and some custom scripting so it cries and needs nursing and other strange things.

Not really the most invigerating build i have done, nor the hardest. do as i always do. use a photo and upload it and use that for referance.

nee, there are several packades that alow for quite decent prim-animations. "Puppeteer" is the clasic one -it comes in free for personal use only and a commersial that allow you to sell or give away the products.
Most of the shouder-pets you see are made with this or similar packadges
If anyone knows of better solutions that Puppeteer post them here :)
