Desperately Seeking: Child AO

Just about everyone in SL has an Animation override. Women, Men, Furries, Robots, Wind-up dolls... even Pregnant women! if you have an avatar, someone has an Animation Override to help make the presentation perfect.

Child Avatars (shorter avatars, not avatars operated BY children) have access to innumerable clothes, and shapes, and furnishings.. props a-plenty. Skins are harder to find.. but if you're dedicated enough, you can find some good ones. But what I'm not finding, is any AO's.

Those of you who are "Big Kids" in terms of playing kid avvies for a significant amount of time... is there anything LIKE a Child AO out there? ANd if so, where?

The Lollipop shop has a nice Child OA - and another place to check is SLC for information to other shops that have stuff dedicated for kids. I know there are a few out there, but this should get ya pointed in the right direction to ask questions and find what your looking for.

There are two of them out there. Ribblet named the one. The other is , well, I'm not on at the moment, but in a shop next to Natural Choice, a prim baby place. Neither is very complete, unfortunately, and I found them both to be more bother than anyting.

I did talk with one person about developing a more complete one: more on that post-holiday, I bet.

I made a kid's typing ao... and a "keyboard" for it.

A Gameboy. so when you are tallking, it kinda looks like you are ignoring people. I'm still working out the sounds for it.. but it's 90% done at this point. I just get a lil tired of the "same old" walk... with stubby legs it looks like a silent movie.

(wots "SLC?"

I will check out both those places. Thanks Mari an' Ribblet!

Ya, I'm with you on the walk. No one, but no one has done a good kids' walk animation.

An sorry for the acronym. SLC = Second Life Children. The big in-world group for us kids. You can find out more about SLC at their Youth Activity Center in Maryport.

I sell a range of child optimised poses at Elgyfu's Emporium in Kitzbuhel and the Inner Child mall.

I am working on an A/O too.

If anyone has any particular child poses they require, please send me clear details on a notecard. If it is a pose I can later sell in my shop too i will make it for you for free.

Dance moves for baby avatar I have really stinks. Today it did this weird upside down movement when I tried to dance someone pointed it out as they kindly asked I give the dance pad to some better looking kid
I noticed there isn't much out there for dancing camping babies either or perhaps I am just too new to have found it.
I have been trying to find tiny and baby shapes and kits that I can play with that are modifiable or just information on creating my own. How would animation overiide fit in this?
I am just learning, Any suggestions on modifiable tiny shapes too?

Do ya need me to send you some of the ones I'm looking for again? I think I sentcha a wish list before.

One that always says "kid" to me, is the "nose wipe on sleeve"

=)

Yes please Marianne, I have lost the original, I have done a couple of them but I know there was lots more

My goal would be animations, not poses. Much more complex, I know.. but AOs full of static poses, even with decent blends between them.. tend to look a bit artificial.

I got a really cute one at Tot Stop I think it was. She has very cute stances and skips instead of walks which is adorable

I will definitely look into that!

I went shopping for some tonight before the Hardware server dealy... I got a couple of cute skips.. a nice animated stand I like, and a sit that works well with my gameboy dealy.. Assuming that the grid is in one piece when it comes online.. I'm going to put those into an AO and see what it feels like. If it turns out good, I will VERY LIKELY go back and contact all the authors and see if we can work out a resale deal to sell the loaded aos. Might be kinda hard, given that there's at least 3 animators involved.. but we'll see.

I'd like to build the whole thing into the gameboy, frankly. And friends who have seen it in mid-build, have kind of begged me to sell it.

Hope ya'll like Kirby.
