Does anyone have the original poser file for the meatball animation (the one that scrunches your AV up really small)? I'm trying to animate my custom avatar, and since my base AV is kinda in a little ball inside my custom avatar's big top hat, it would be rather difficult to animate it the conventional way. I figured that if I could rotate the entire meatballed base AV, then the custom AV attachment would rotate as well.

I sentcha one spicy MEATBALL anim, as made by Ferran Brodsky. I don't have the original BVH but hope you can get in touch with her and "inquire within", as they say.

If anyone else wants it, IM me inworld...

I have it, but can't add an attachment here.
Suggestions?

*EDIT* whoops - just re-read your post - I don't have the Poser files - I have the BVHs.
They may still be of use, though.

Ben--if you can use a site like http://www.putfile.com or http://www.yousendit.com and put the link for download here. Or email to me... [email]torley@lindenlab.com[/email] and I will host it. That should work! :)

Why don't you animating first and adjusting your attachment next? You don't have to return to the normal avatar, do you?

Thanx Ben for sending!

to download the "meatball" BVHs.

You can edit them in such a program as Avimator, for example... (available from http://www.avimator.com).

Torley, unfortunately, Avimator doesn't still allow us to edit any made (motion) files. I think that would be the point that I could recommend it to all ppl. It is available if it is the fixed pose though.

Once you save it as BVH, all keyframes should be lost. Try to load walking or running animation and tweak. But this metaball was a pose, not complecate motion. So it may allow to tweak. Sorry for talking too much, but I'm afraid ppl expect too much. :p

:D Torley, was the file sent by Ben? I couldn't import them correctly in my Poser but in the Avimator. :D It is interesting. Didn't anyone get trouble with those files in his Poser?

Hi Torley,

Get a four-oh-four error trying to access http://www.torley.com/Meat_Wad.zip
Do you know if it's available anywhere else or can you repost it please?

Thanks in advance, James
