HI! I was just wondering if there is an AO or if someone can make me an AO to keep my av's head from wobbling when I type. It looks really dumb and I can't stand it! I already have a walk/stand AO attached, and it does this wether the AO is on or not.

I don't know why my av's head does this, maybe it is because it is made up of a large round prim for the eyes and several prims for the muzzle (see the elemental foxes for sale at Dwellget, I am using the air fox)

If anyone would like to actually see what the wobbling looks like, IM me in world. I am on in the evenings, from 4-8 SLT.

Many thanks!

No, not just you. Sometimes when my avi is typing, her head moves back and forth like she's reading what I'm typing so she can approve what I'm saying before I hit "enter". The head wobble also happens when you wear an ao and have a dance ani on at the same time, sort of like the two animations are battling each other to possess the body of your avi. Sometimes she dances, sometimes she stands in a pose and wobbles her head around.


So...pose makers/scripters, I'm also in the market for a solution to avi head possession by evil overriding default animations and/or whatever it is that will fix the ridiculous head wobble :D

Because the built-in typing animation was made to wobble its head while typing. :D Yes, bigger prims you have on your head, much more it will exaggerate.
The solution is that you make a fixed head and typing animation and let it override by AO.

OK, I've created the fixed head typing version by useing SL animation.
avatar_FHType.bvh is no keyframes of head and neck version, so that you can face someone who is speaking.
avatar_FHCType.bvh is a fixed head complete version, so that you can't move head at all while typing.
Those files are archived as zip files. Extract and upload them to SL. Add check mark in the Loop box on the uploading window.
