Pose/Animation Tools for Furniture Builders

I currently use EasySit, which I really like a lot - it's easy to set up, and... well... its easy to set up. hehe

There are a few things about my existing furniture-animating process though that I'd like to improve on, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what sort of tools I might look into?

My version of EasySit only supports one pose per prim... I'd love to be able to offer EASY to configure and easy to use choices - either an optional menu or even just arrow keys to scroll through a few pose choices.

I'd love to have the poses be adjustable by the sitter, even if the sitter doesn't own the object. If that's not possible, I'd be happy with a script that lets the owner of the furniture adjust the pose. Most of the scripts I have seen only let the CREATOR adjust the poses, which is kind of pointless. The creator has to remove the script that lets you adjust the pose, so the new buyer is left with no way to change the position.

Keep in mind... easy set up for ME, the builder, is essential. I have seen one or two that do what I am looking for (including the MLP2), but I hate animating my creations as it is - if it takes too long or is too complicated, I wind up with a yard full of unanimated furniture! Please, save me from my shop looking like Redneck-ville! hehe

Any suggestions appreciated!

Well I personally use MLPV2 and love it. I know it can feel daunting at first but let me assure you that after a few times of doing it, it becomes a lot easier. There is also a very helpful MLPV2 Group that is really gracious in helping each other out when people have questions.

A couple more freebies:

"Easy Sit Target Positioner", available for L$1 on SLX. Allows multiple animations on the same sit target. Not sure if that's what you mean by "EasySit".

For a poseball script that has a few nifty features but not suited to all tastes, "jPose Sit", also available on SLX for L$1. Supports multiple animations per poseball, sharing the same sit target. Also allows the sitter to adjust their position along the poseball's Z axis (but you can rotate the sit target so that moves the sitter in any single direction). And you can link them together to make coordinated couples poseball sets (shift-arrow to move both), if you're clever.

Ive been using XPOSE for a few items and its pretty good, easy to understand.

I use 'perfect sitter' which allows multiple animations on one object, and allows the sitter to adjust their position using chat commands.
