Any couples pose animation vendor scripts anywhere ever?

I'm an animator who is trying to set up a little shop to sell innovative couples (and solo) animations. I'm not a scripter - although I can make minor adjustments with well noted scripts. I've wasted 600 dollars on three different well reputed vendors that seemed to be able to do the minimum of what I needed, but they can't. (I think these are good products, but not able to do the job I need). I'm reluctant to spend the thousands (as a new businessperson dipping his toes into the commercial waters) on the bigger flashier models as it doesn't really seem that they do exactly what I need. I don't wan't to keep making the same mistake. What I need is (ideally) this:

A vendor that can rotate couples animations (I imagine poseballs is the only realistic way of accomplishing this) with the customer still 'sitting' (I know this seems impossible, but I've SEEN it, honest!) and the camera angle not swinging behind the av (as one of the vendors I have bought does *wtf!*). I've seen it done, so I know it is possible, but I've searched EVERYWHERE: in-world searches, slexchange, slboutique. And I can't find one that does this. Surely I'm wrong! Does anyone know of such a thing?

Second best is to have a mod/cop vendor that displays one animation and scrolls through without customer having to stand and has a 'face the AV' camera angle. Then I could put two side by side and have the customer choose and match the 'couples'. But how tragic is that? Please help, I was so excited about this project and was willing to spend most of my waking hours animating to build up a good stock, but if I can't sell them for want of a practical script, it's just not gonna happen. So I'm a bit desperate. If anyone has any ideas or tips, please help.

Thanks,
Desperate sad bloke.

Instead of buying things, try to open a dialog with the creator. Tell them what you want, and see what they say. maybe they can modify what they have to work the way you want, or maybe they will explain to you why what you wnat is really difficult.

The most likely source of what you want is from someone who already is half way there.

good luck,

In theory what you need is simple holo-vendor -- it can rezz the poseball pairs you put inside it, then people can sit on these rezzed poseballs to see what the animations are like. Generic holo-vendors tend to use temp-on-rezz prims to display their items though, which can be annoying when previewing animations (as is getting unseated from the poseball set when you pick another one for that matter but can't think of way to avoid it with this approach)

Another option would be to take multi-animation script like MLP and add vendor component to it, so it's possible to preview animations without getting unseated, and buy matching poseball set for animations one like... that'd be quite pain to configure for the seller, though.

Just a small sidenote, personally i'd try to avoid rotation the animations while they're previewed -- it can make it unnecessarily more difficult to get a good look what the actual animation is like. If someone wants to see what it's like from different angles, they have their own camera controls for that ^^;;

Lee, I've tried to enter into dialogue with them (extremely nicely, I might add) but they either ignore me or are too busy to look at modifications.

Joannah, yeah one of the vendors I have unseats the customers on scrolling to next object (poseballs), in fact it sometimes crashes the sim and kicks you offline! I love the sound of this MLP thing - what you suggest there seems like the way to go. Can you tell me what an MLP is and where I might obtain one? Is it a fairly simple thing to splice these two functions together in a script?

I agree with you about the rotation.

Thanks both for your input.

MLP stands for 'multi love pose' and it's open source animation system written by Miffy Fluffy... i think you can either find the source posted in thread in this forum, or in world in location listed in his picks.

Merging the vendor code and MLP would be probably a bit of work, depends on vendor code in question... if you can't find anything suitable drop me a note in couple days, i may have something useful by then ^^;

thanks for looking at it Joannah. I will.
