Hi, when i sit at the ground my avatar is a little more up than the ground, how can i solve this problem?. and i wanted to know if i can make the avatar sit on the ground without select the ground and put "sit" if there is a way to sit at the with a command or something like that.

thanks

Animations, both the SL defaults and purchased ones, are designed for a typical avatar height. If you have a shorter avatar like I do, they leave you sitting above the ground. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to modify animations. You can create your own using one of the free programs that are available (Qavimator or DAZ studio), and replace the SL default sit animation using an animation override program.

What really messes up the animation isn't so much the height of the avatar, but the ratio between leg length and height.

The newest Zhao-II (that can be picked up at Material Squirrel if I recall correctly) has a button for "sit on ground" that allows you to sit on any surface with your chosen ground-sit pose. There is also a separate hud for sitting on ground available for free at Tail of Two Kitties.

Not that it matters much, but isn't it the other way around? When my child avatar tried sitting using regualr poses he ended up below the suface, while child poses could leave him hovering slightly. *scratches head*

thats the exact problem I have. I use qav, when I work on an animtion for kids and adjust the height of the kid and the postion of the model I can make it sit in, on, or above the ground depending on height, is there some kind of way to tell where the ground in qav would actully be?

and what would be the right height for an av thats typicaly 3 feet 9 inches, or 4 feet?

I am 5'6" (prim height) in SL and have no issue with hovering above the ground when i sit. I am always firmly planted on the terra if not sinking a little into it.

Maybe it is a proportion thing with your avatar.
