Animation Ideas?! Think big, like complete AO sets :D

I could think of a whole standset for men with longer animations that doesnt supress either your head movement or the typing animation or both. Nearly all standing poses for men force the avatar in a not influencable animation. You can count the single standing animations on one hand that doesnt and you have to pick them from different creators.

How's about a male lothario's set? For when you're trying to chat up a girl, say. Standing poses could include looking her up and down, reaching out to touch hair, swaggering about, making that Italian-style "look at those curves" gesture. The walk could be a bit of a strut. You know - a guy really trying trying to get her attention and showing off. Or just being smooth.

Some of those already exist; look around.

How about specific super hero ones? say one based of spiderman, where flying would be the web slinging anim, one of the sits could be a sit on ceiling. various heroic poses of course.

something to think about maybe.

We "animate" any"thing" "on SL" property,
And we damn good too!
But you can't be any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the "keyframes"
If you know what I mean, earn your keep
Animators! Mount up!

I just discovered the joy of building animations last weekend. I spent 5 hours on a 10 second karate animation. For my first attempt it was fair. I will heed the call and start working on some of the suggestions. They all sound interesting.

Also I fence. So I may work on that one a bit.

You know I have had my days where I just wanted to slap him granted since it is intrusive maybe it need ot be like the hugs and they need to know the fight is on.. and accept it.. *grin*

Slapping him
Him pushing her away..
her hitting him in the arm
Him slapping her back...
I know its sounds abusive
But many a time I have thrown a tantrum
couldnt even stomp my foot..
Or throw a book a this head...
You could always round it off withe the male throwing the fem over the shoulder and smacking her butt.. lol
Come on Its can be nice to have a good fight with your Honey..
The making up is good too!
And secretly I think there woudl be a huge market for something like this

I would like to see a good cuddle set, you know Massage, caress, spoon, hug variations, fondle and play with hair. Sitting on a couch together, sitting on a lap, head on lap on a couch or bed, couple sleep positions. something very romantic and close

I am with you here, I have found a few, but most everything are static poses. I love nothing better than to relax with my love, playing with her hair. What I have found have all been individual pose balls, I really want a menu driven system like the better beds have. I have a lovely cuddle rug, but it breaks the whole mood to have to say.. "use the orange ball by the pillow on the right" *sighs*

Stop by PK's Museum of Film and Television.


Y'know, I've been thinking for a while about making an argument set, but I wasn't sure people would want it. Now I'm committed, I will definitely be making this sometime.


Lizz, I already did that with standing couples animations, and coincidentally laying on the ground is planned for my next product (probably take a couple weeks though, what with the Thanksgiving holiday.) Stop by my store, it's in my sig.

Johnny, this thread is really great and certainly makes up for the negative impression of you I got from your hand pose complaining.

Please please please create a decent AO set for kids. There are two available in-world, and they are very, very limited (only sits and stands). There are no kid walks/runs/flys/crouches/etc. in-world at all. With more and more Second Life kids running around, you would definitely have a market, as vendors who recently broke into the kids' skins and gestures market could likely tell you. Make a quality kids' AO, and they'll sell like chocolate and banana hotcakes.

For a while I was considering doing stuff like skipping that would look good in a kids AO. However, I'm not sure I want to put any AOs in my store (what with the whole "specializing in two person" thing.) I would however be interested in doing a kid AO to sell to you with full permissions so that you can sell it in your store. This would be a large initial expense for you, but if you are interested in this idea then IM me.

btw, I saw the announcement of your new store in the Shopping section and was planning to IM you congratulations next time I was in-world. Bit odd to have a kid running a store though, don't you think?

Oh, I totally agree. I was kinda unsure about doin a stoe for the same reason. I'm much more suited to a lemondae stand!

Color me interested. I'll pester ya!

I guess I would like a GOOD digigrade animation override, for satyrs and the like. (reverse knee, heel in the air, with toes pointing down, like a ballerina.

You then attach the hoof/foot onto the toe.

You know, run, turn, dance. Etc.

I guess a good basic quadraped AO too would be nice, but it's far from an absolute thing.

Ooh, yeah, that'd be pretty cool! And if there was an option for a more slender set of hooves for females, with this anim, plus the usual sexy walk, etc. like other AO sets (or if it'd work with my regular AO) I'd definitely be interested.

I've seen a ballet one... It's really cute but what about an acrobat? cartwheels, roundoffs, standing on your hands, even a cute little sporty yet feminine walk and run... for the guys maybe a more active walk or run... not sure you get the picture but it would be a hoot to see and have. And about the casual ao... some natural animated poses would be good.
