Hands not touching

I am trying to get my AV's hand to touch... palm to palm. In poser I get my AV do that but when I upload to SL, there is a BIG gap between the hands. Any way I can get this to work in SL?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

If your AV is a normal human type, I don't think there is so much big gap, but you have to tweak it anyway. I cannot help supposing that you should make your animation based on SL.

huh?

K firstly it is a male model you are using in poser and a male AV in SL right?

So long as this is the case, the reason your hands are not touching is that the chest width of the poser models you are using is less than that of your avatar in SL.

Now this mostly happens with male AVs as there seems to be a trend with guys in SL that if they see an appearance slider they MUST slide it all the way up ( be it Height, muscles, shoulders etc etc), so much so that they can barely fit through doorways.

I would suggest looking at the pose you made on your AV in SL, then going to poser and changing the scale of the poser models chest(widthways) until your poser models hands are as far apart in poser as they look in the game, then bring the hands together again using limb movement and upload into SL.

Keep this resized model for all subsequent poses you make, the shoulders are not the only thing that needs rescaling in those SL manequins, there are other parts as well that dont match the games AVs very well

ROFL... my av resembles that comment.

ok i have learnt one thing about animating....... its cost 10L to upload an animation.
Multiply that by 15 and you're probably gonna be near the total cost by the time you get the darn thing right!! lol

Ben Stravinsnky, i animate ^^

I think this is one of my biggest problems when attempting to set Poses to align with other SL AVs.
I would like to hear more about scaleing the SL manaquin in Poser to be closer to my SL AV size.
May I take the size numbers from the SL Appearance and transfer them into Poser to get exact sizes or must I do this by eye? ..( which is so falable)
