Hiya guys....hopefully one of you intelligent folk can give me a bit of a helping hand. I have been making a set of poses today but I am having issues with them when I upload them. The general poses are perfect but on some of the poses my avatar's hands just start randomly moving. I have set the poses to priority 4 and that still didnt change anything. For whatever reason the default animations still come through in the hands. What can I do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Moving how?

Hands randomly going into fists:
no you can not fix this. Its been a problem for over two years now.

Other hand movements: Make sure you moved the wrists by at least 1 degree in frame two.

To elaborate on his suggestion, note that your pose only controls limbs that have moved in some way from the intial frame. Anything that you don't move keeps playing the default SL animations.

Other than that, Johan is correct. First frame is the reference frame that SL uses as zero rotation. Frame two is the frame that tells SL to take over the body parts moved. The difference between the two is the 'how much' moved.

Best way if you are making poses is to make an animation file that leaves frame 1 as default and frame 2 has every single body part moved. Save that and start each new pose from that file.
