An unfortunate reality of hands in Second Life is that for too long they have been limited to just a couple of built in poses which can cause issues for great photography or interacting with objects in a realistic manner.
With this in mind I created this Hand Poser HUD to provide a simple and intuitive interface for posing your Bento enabled hands in a position that works best for your needs.
This HUD requires Bento enabled hands to work.
Step 1. Wear the FATE Hand Poser HUD
Step 2. Simply click and drag sliders on the HUD to pose them
FEATURES
1. Save Your Pose
To save your current finger poses simply click the 'save' button on any of the presets. Click the preset button to apply it in the future.
2. Puppeteer
You can now animate other avatar's hands, this is great for photographers with multiple avatars to pose. Simply click the Puppeteer button and select a nearby avatar. That avatar will need to accept animation permissions and also be wearing bento enabled hands.
3. AO
You can now use your FATE Hand Poser HUD as a custom bento hand animation override. Click the 'AO Settings' button and click 'LIST' on the popup menu to configure which preset poses are used in the AO. Your avatar will switch to a random pose in this list during random intervals (as long as the HUD is attached).
4. Minimise/Maximise
The FATE Hand Poser HUD now has more UI control, allowing a full minimise and maximise of the HUD, Hand Controllers or Presets Panels individually to allow for greater visibility, you can also scale the HUD to your own preferences using the build tools.
For best results, disable any built in AO for your bento hands through their HUD or by manually stopping your animations.

Normally love Fateplay's stuff...
But I can't bring myself to like this at all. The HUD doesn't remember ANY poses you give it upon detatch and always resets your hands after relog. Got your hand perfect with the sliders? To bad! That's not saved on the HUD custom poses! Oh, and the script time on this? 2Megs of script time. Alone. That sets off 80% of script time monitors. Just... aweful, honestly. Not to mention the HUD is horribly clunky and in your face all the time, AND even when minimized, you just have the menu buttons floating randomly in place, since the buttons that remain shown always are near the center of the HUD....
Overall, horrible design, flawed scripts and overly laggy. The ONLY thing about this that's good is the customization and the built in poses.
Not as useful as I'd like.
I've used this for a while, now, trying to get it to work for hand poses for photographs.The HUD size is huge, covering about half your screen at 1920x1080.
The biggest problem, though, for me, is the sliders aren't precise. The joints don't move slowly and smoothly' it's more that they jump from one position to the next. You don't have enough control over the finger position. The HUD image made me think it was more precise, but it's not.
I'd also like it to export to an animation file, but I'm not sure how practical that is.
This product isn't worth the price in my opinion.
Really well made!
Works really really well. I ended up saving loads of money as I don't have to buy separate "bento hand poses" . Saves you from all those poses you have where your fingers are inside a chest or leg, now you can just move them out with this hud. Thanks!
Simple and Comprehensive
It is very simple but has everything you need to pose (and save those poses) your hands! Everything is right in front of you and does not require loads of menus and sub-menus. Tweak every detail to your obsessive limits. :)
Marvelous
You are wonderful for making this, I bow to you in respect for making this fantastic flexible bento hands pose HUD.
