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.
(NOTE: THIS VERSION DOES NOT SAVE POSES THAT YOU CAN SELL. If you want to save .bvh files that can be uploaded into SL and used in your own items for sale, please take a look at AnyPose BVH. This limited version of AnyPose is geared toward photographers and machinimists that may not need to save and upload the .bvh files.
If later you decide you would like all the features of AnyPose BVH, you can purchase an upgrade here on the marketplace.
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.
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.
══════════════════
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.
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.
Online help files available from the Help button in the pose stand menu.
Join the AnyPose Announcements group for additional info.
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.

top notch
just what I needed works great no issues. contacted the creator phate for information on a tutorial video I saw on you tube super great guy was very helpful could not of asked for more from this product or from phate highly recommend it.
Was bought on a Recommendation
So many of my blogger friends use this tool and get very nice poses. They also adjust existing ones really well. I had been using animare but found the angle of movement was too high. I was told to use this as it had more flexibility. Turns out they were wrong. I regret this purchase. Its been 2 years with it and I try every time with terrible results. I have had about 5 people try to help me with it and when the stuff doesnt work they get confused because it works fine for them.
First, half the poses I cannot adjust the limbs at all. Im guessing anypose is a low priority. So without the pose stand, I can adjust the limbs that arent moveable using anypose with animare! If I use the anypose stand and use a regular bento pose I lose all the bento finger poses as soon as i sit on it. I cannot readjust my fingers at all using my fateposer or my bodies HUD. If I sit on the stand before activating the pose the bento hands go back to noob. What is funny is I can adjust all the limbs with no issue using the pose stand. I refuse to use the stand because it breaks bento hands for me and I cannot use the HUD alone to animate my avatar since my most of the limbs will not budge to adjust. I end up using animare instead and just wing it for poses with photoshop editing. I also dislike that I cannot drag and drop poses I have inworld into the stand and adjust the pose from there. Making using the pose stand kind of worthless to me. It is too bad this item does not work for me. It seems to work for almost everyone else. Anyways, I regret this purchase and wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Its is way too expensive and seems there will never be a bento update.
Great product to adjust own poses
I use 1st day its slowly take some time to learn.. however patience must have.. At least its good repair existing pose
Incredible
Thank you for this great product. Finally I can get my models to stand without hands cutting through bodies, look at my while I paint them, and perfectly match the props I use. I bouht the basic version, and it offers far more than I expected. I am still discovering features I was not expecting. 6 stars!
Check out my flickr to see what I am doing with this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alurchaniekerk/
Great tool, greater customer service
The tool is very useful for photography, but Phate was an absolute champion in terms of customer service, including refunding an accidental double-purchase and sharing a very useful tip regarding use. Would highly recommend!
Great Product
This is an awesome tool for a photographer. Just know you will need a lot of patience. Especially with the basic when you cannot save poses. I do give props though for having an upgrade option where you only pay the difference from basic to pro, if you decide to do so later.
If I remember correctly. I believe there is a website with a manual. However my laptop is fussy about multitasking to websites when running SL. So I wish there was a note card manual which included images to highlight each tool on the HUD, that better instructed you on all the options and how to do some basic posing. I had some difficulty getting my avatars head to tilt back and look up for the dirty Dancing lift pose holding someone above me. This I am sure though will get easier with experience. So do not take this negatively.
Keep in mind you need to have permission to place objects to use this. I am not sure if there is a solution to this problem. But it is unfortunate that many sims that are great for taking photos do not allow you to place items even temporarily to rez the pose stand. Hopefully you can contact the sim owner and get permission.
I hope future updates may allow for more control over individual finger adjustment. Would also be nice if you could link joints so you can adjust both arms at the same time. For instance if you want them both to be raised up in the same position. These are just minor suggestions and in no way are meant to disparage this awesome tool.
This is truly an amazing product and a must have for any photographer.
