Animation Help Needed

First, let me say that I'm a fairly "young" builder (in other words, I haven't been doing it that long). But already, I have a very nice store (thanks to a little help from friends I've made along the way) and my houses and accessories to this point have allowed me to enjoy some encouraging success. But with to the recent lull in the SL retail market, I thought now might be a good time to try some new things - maybe try my hand in making hot tubs (they tend to be popular features with new home buyers) as well as some furniture so that I might offer some of my low-prim homes fully furnished. Low prim, of course, means that I try to stay away from Poseballs as much as possible as they are usually excess primage I try to avoid.

I've tried a variety of solutions with limited success, but I've kind of hit a wall when it comes to the beds and hottubs; I realized that I probably need to try a MLP/MLP2 system, but upon getting a package on SLX, I was pretty overwelmed by its apparent complexity when it comes to setup. Not to mention, I'm really concerned about all of the pirated animations out there - I want my animations to be used with the blessing of their creator(s) so that I can have full confidence in the integrity of my products and my buyers can feel good about their purchases. Ideally, I'd love to develop a mutally beneficial symbiotic relationship with a good animator who hates building or doesn't have time for it.

But in the meantime, is there someone out there who might be able to take an hour or two in the next few days to help me learn to set up this MLP2 system? I already have the package, as I stated, just not sure how to most efficiently set it up (these directions look like I could have a lot of re-do's if I go by trial and error method). And if you are an animator, I would DEFINITELY be interested in purchasing some copy/trans animations to use with this MLP2 if you'd like to help me set the booger up and maybe offer some general animation advice.

If interested, please contact me, Moonshy Littlething, in world with your availability and maybe a link to your store if you have one so I can see your animations. Thanks in advance for any responses!

You may want to try using the MLP 1.2 first. It's very basic, without a lot of the optional featuers in MLP V2.1 that might be confusing you.

When you get comfortable using 1.2, then get 2.1.

MLP 1.2 is still available this way: Do a Search -> People on Miffy Fluffy; click on the "Picks" tab in Miffy's profile; select the "MLP" tab there; and use the Teleport button.

I will contact you in-world later this evening. I might be interested in a partnership. I don't have a big library of animations, but I can make them. And I am familiar with both versions of MLP. (Sending you a response here so I don't lose it.)
