ANNOUNCEMENT - August 2023: Are you interested in controlling an Animesh NPC with AnyPose? Contact me for details. I am working on a separate item for Mod/Copy humanoid Animesh NPCs.
The AnyPose pose stand is unique in SL as the first pose stand that lets you pose your avatar in nearly unlimited positions. Using HUD or keyboard control, you can adjust each joint of your avatar. The AnyPose BVH version can export the final pose to a .BVH file that can be uploaded to SL as a single frame animation and used without the stand. Since version 1.5, AnyPose animator is included at no additional charge! Try your hand at making animations!
NEW IN VERSION 1.91
══════════════════
You can switch between Low and High priority on the stand. High priority allows for overriding more mesh body animations and AOs.
NEW IN VERSION 1.8
══════════════════
• Cloud Memory feature for saving and loading poses without having to deal with notecards.
• Many more Bento Hand poses.
• Integration with Fate Hand Poser Pro 3.2 by Damien Fate for including custome hand poses in your creations (AnyPose BVH ONLY)

══════════════════
If you do not need to save .BVH files, and just want the ability to pose your avatar in-world, try the feature limited AnyPose Basic available on the Marketplace.
Photographers/machinimists: Build your own library of poses that can be easily played back, and adjusted on the fly to fix "Hand stuck in leg" and all the other problems associated with fixed poses and various avatar sizes. Control up to 99 stands at once from the HUD. Use the Live! feature to correct poses made by others.
Furniture & Vehicle Builders: Create poses in minutes that fit YOUR designs.
Animation creators: Create animations! AnyPose BVH includes AnyPose Animator! Although it was designed for simple animations, your creativity is the limit!
Features:
• Position each joint via HUD or keyboard control.
• Cloud memory feature allows you to save your poses and recall them from any of your other pose stands.
• Live! posing without a pose stand. The Live! feature can also puppet another avatar.
• Rez a pose stand from the HUD for even more control of your avatar.
• Move and rotate avatars seated on the AnyPose stand using HUD control.
• Make poses as a team. The AnyPose HUD can control pose stands owned by others.
• Use any of SL's 13 hand animations and 40 Bento hand animations while on the stand.
• Force the eyes into specific positions.
• Classic (Non-Bento) facial expression support.
• Control up to 99 stands from the HUD.
• Mirror Right Arm<->Left Arm / Right Leg<->Left Leg / Whole Body.
• Send poses to U-Poser for additional adjustments, or inclusion into U-Poser's animation builder.
• Each joint has roughly 256 positions (Some more, some less) in the normal range of human motion. This give surprising flexibility in pose creation.
• Free updates. AnyPose has a built-in update checker.
AnyPose BVH Features:
• Integration with Fate Hand Poser Pro v3.2 and later for saving custom hand poses along with your body pose.
• Include Bento hand poses in your creations.
• Save a .BVH using an external server to simplify the saving of .BVH files. (Not compatible with SL's internal browser)
• Disable joints so they are not animated in uploaded .BVH files. (For example: Disable the Head/Neck for seating poses)
• Sit position helper built in. Includes script to drop into your seating prims.
Online help files available from the Help button in the pose stand menu.

Disclosure:
• You can NOT copy poses made by other creators with AnyPose. However, you can use Live! to adjust poses made by others.
• There are sure to be some joint positions that are humanly possible that you can not recreate in AnyPose. That is an unfortunate trade-off of being able to adjust your own joints in-world.
• The AnyPose "WWW BVH" feature does not use any outside servers. The "Save BVH" feature does use an outside server to simplify the process of saving .BVH files so they can be uploaded into SL.
• Linden Labs had considered adding a feature similar to this to SL, but its status is on hold, and it may or may not show up anytime soon. This features was known as Avatar Puppeteering.
• No refunds will be made, if you are unsure of this purchase, try the demo for free.
• Replacements can be provided with proof of purchase.

It is really nice to be able to use your avatar to create animations. Some poses simply don't look good on SL avatars, even when they look fine in Poser and its useful for adjusting poses to fit items inworld in SL. Unfortunately, you can only make static poses, which simply are not satisfactory for my purposes (nor should they be for anyones in my opinion), and in using this I encountered the same problem that I did with U-Poser - the animations it creates do not easily import into Poser.
However, I found that, since this works nicely with U-Poser and U-Poser allows me to stitch the animations created with this into moving animations, working with AnyPose and U-Poser I can create some pretty nice animations to fit my furniture etc. While the cost of the two of them may seem like a sizeable outlay, it's nothing compared to the cost of Poser and you don't even need Poser to do it. I highly recommend this product used in conjuction with U-Poser to furniture makers, vehicle makers - anyone who crafts objects and wants to make animations that fit them.
The designer/seller of this Poser has been extreeemelly helpfull when my account was on hold right after I purchased this Poser ... I owe him a lot... It's so much fun being busy with these poses, I can recommand anyone who's starting with poses or animations to purchase this ...

fantastic! TAMA products uses this tool for our products, especially for those geared for the Tinies. Thanks Phate! Nice job!
I've used Poser and Daz Studio for years -- badly I might add, which is why I've never bothered doing my own poses. I've had this bookmarked for quite sometime, having followed Phate Shepherd's discussions in the forums as this tool evolved.
Finally got fit up with trying to make other people's poses fit my products, and decided to try the AnyPose demo to see if this tool would be plausible for helping me create my own. Offering the demo is an incredibly smart move, because it allowed me to try on the basics of how this tool works, enough so that I didn't hesitate to invest the L$4,500 into the advanced version. It is worth every single penny of the price and then some. For the amount I've invested in highend software, this was a small price with an even smaller learning curve, and a big payoff. I was dancing on my build platform when I realized how easy this was to use, and how powerful it is.
I love the functions that let me capture the parameters in chat, and how easy it is to create a bhv file with the proper Priority 4 settings and upload it to SL to use on the things I create. What makes this such a gem is the ability that it gives you to work inworld on the actual props the poses are meant to be integrated with in real time. Mindblowing how easy it was to do this compared to messing around with Poser and reuploading a single pose many, many times only to find out it was still misaligned even when using the SL avatar meshes.
I'm now working on integrating the poses I make with AnyPose with Poser 7 so I can add subtle animations to them. If Poser was as intuitive as AnyPose I'd be tearing out a lot less hair.
I regularly spend $4,500 to purchase just one or two full-perm poses/animations for my work. It's a constant outlay of cash to ensure good functionality on what I create, and worth it to have the benefit of incorporating the work of a good artist, but for what it costs me for just one or two of those poses I now have a tool that empowers me to make things that fit -my- vision exactly, and on the fly.
Really, really pleased with this purchase! This is one of the best investments I've made in a work tool, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to even novice designers.
I bought this without trying the demo. I can honestly say, you will NOT be disappointed. It can't do animations, but as said, it can be combined with UPoser, or personally - I will be exporting BVH to use with QAvimator. 5 stars, as that's the highest rating - else I'd give it more. Being able to work with your AV is a stroke of genius.
