How do people make animations that animate two avatars? I just started messing around with Qavimator, and I've got a few animations done, and some poses (That are super easy to me) and I'd love to make some couple ones.. but I've searched everywhere I could think of for answers, and haven't gotten anywhere with it. Are couple animations as simple as importing two avatars into a program (Like Qavimator) and animating them together? Or does it require two separate animations and a script?

If it is.. can any of you point me in the direction to getting the script? (Hopefully for a decent price)
and whatever else I might need to do this. Pleeaase and thankyou.

You can make couples animations in QAvimator by adding a figure to the scene and animating both figures. But when you export them, you will have two separate BVH files that need to be uploaded into SL.

The simplest thing then is to use a freebie poseball script and two pose balls. Finding a script that syncs the animations is best. Try this one:

https://uncensored.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=556207

Once they are linked together, they will sync.

If you are going to be a professional animator, you will want to move up to Poser at some point. It has much more robust animation controls than QAvimator.

How do I add a figure to Qavimator? And where would I get such figure?

And is there any free or cheap decent HUD scripts for animations that do that?
I know there's at least a way, because of all the animations that you can select
a person in the area to do the animation on and it'll ask them if they will allow it.
And one of the animations actually pulled you into the person. (It was a hug animation btw >>;)

The HUG attachment is a free script provided by the legendary Francis Chung - you can pick it up at most Freebie areas.

I'm sorry. I misled you slightly. Once you have an animation created and saved, start a new animation. Then go to File and Add. Then select the animation you had saved already. That will set the viewer up with two animations. You can then switch back and forth between the two and save them individually.
