animations I'd like to see

a working curtsy (the one in the client now doesn't werk)

more sitting options: "cross your legs" my mama always told me; sitting Indian style; a "lean type" of sit, where knees are bent and both legs are curled to the same side of the body; sit with knees unbent, legs straight out in front of you

blowing kisses: like the smoking animation, but without the cig, etc.

hug: would need to indicate which av near you you wish to hug, then go up and actually hug that av

animations for playing twister

there are/were others too, but this cold I've got (or my allergies, dunno which) has clouded up my brain and I can't remember 'em right now

nod head "yes"
shake head "no"

Hmm.. on that one I have an observation. On another system, there is a routine where if you are typing in Public Chat to those around your Avatar, a few things would occur:

Those in your immediate area would turn to LOOK at you as if you were speaking to the group, which you would be doing. Then when another Av responded, the 'group' would politely turn their heads a couple of seconds later over to THAT Av, as if they are paying attention to what that individual has to say. Psychologically, this is very gratifying IRL for the Av Owner to see, as they can see they are being paid attention to for their verbal contribution to the conversation.

Another noted animation is:

When someone says something to the Affirmative... their head would /nod/ up and down in agreement with the words, such as "I like that! Yes!" We would also see that Av's head nod, Yes, a couple of times. Similarly, if they say something in the Negative, you would also see the head shake side to side a couple of times to reflect their negative response or statement.

Again, nothing exaggerated or silly, but a polite shaking of the head, Yes.. or No, depending on the response, as would be seen in polite conversation between two people or in a group.

That's all that immediately comes to mind.

I would like the ability to turn off typing animation.

Also would like it if we could keep arms/hands or legs/feet in fixed postitions.

I know this has been discussed before but those are my non-gesture requests. hehe kinda fits

i've spoken to a few that also want the typing anim turned off.

Nicole - you can currently look at the person who spoke lasy by hitting the tab key.

I would like to see a number of animations that are interactive with other avatars. Quite a few people I've spoken to are intersted in this as well. i.e dancing couples, combat attack and defense moves.. uhhm.. hug hold hands etc
