Extra Movements. Rumor or not?

Despite the rumors and talkings. I thought that 1.7 gave the avatars new joint movements like fingers, or for furs to sway their tails as they walk. Nothing is happening. Was it just a rumor?

I was looking forward to 1.7 so my fingers can do extra movements. Nothing new :/

New CON : is blurryness of the textures (which I have suggested something in another thread) I understand that everyone's is being fixed slowly. I'll be patient but my eyes might not be? Hmmm.

New CON : the long uploading of stuff at the start and as you play the game.. >.@

New PRO : things seem faster as I walk around

*waiting for this game to improve, wanting this to be worth my money to pay as i play * ;~;

Not a rumor, but the implementation is diff. than what you may be thinking of. See source threads like this:

HOLY COW -- Moving Attachments In 1.7 Preview!!
/108/8e/60165/1.html

I've seen that link.

Why I'm asking about this is because I'm deaf and would love to include sign language with finger movements!!! not fist hands as you try to sign

Anyone have tutorial which I am unable to find still yet on how to add avatars to animation/gestures. I would like to learn and try make myself something!!!

Plus where's the tutorial to make tail (for example) to sway?? I am still new at Secondlife building stuff!

Thanks! :3

To make animations you use the program, poser, you cant however, move individule fingers, sorry

Theres no tutorial for moving attachments yet, that I know of, because its such a new feature.. Its scripts I believe..

So to make animations you need to know your way around a compatible animation program really, and to make a tail sway you'd need scripting knowledge/help.

GL

direct me to the link about this "program" you are talking about? and what exact poser ? I don't have the poser I guess? :/

I know how to make flash with gif. that's how far I have gotten with my "movement of pixels" skills

Those finger improvements you mentioned are specific to avatars and meshes. And since you're deaf, I can understand... I am hearing-impaired of a different sort, but like subtitles in my movies nonetheless.

To make a tail sway—which would be, rotating an attachment, which is different from avatar fine movements—I haven't seen a formal tutorial yet but my recommendation is CONTACT BEATFOX XEVIOUS who started that thread. He's friendly!

Easiest way to do it is search your inv for the "Rotation Script", put that in a cube, and then wear it. You'll see it move. That's the basic idea. IT'S THAT EASY!!!

Okeydoke Kirsi I saw you online and sent you a spinny cube. Just wear that and you'll see how easy it is.

For Poser tutorials see this @ SLUniverse:

and use Search a lot on the SL Forums. There's tons of good knowledge, sometimes it can be hard to find but what you learn is yours to keep.

Thank you!

Welkies! Have phun!
