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.

Very good indeed
I think that this is a really excellent HUD for posing hands for photos. It's fast, simple, and intuitive, and, best of all, works fine with Anypose. I have found that it conflicts with the LeLutka Axis Face HUD however. Having said that, this is by far and away the most flexible and best designed way of posing hands in SL which I've yet come across.
Im still having problems at the moment to save
I'm having a lot of trouble right now using anypose to save the pose along with my hands from the final position. The hands move by themselves without any control of the last position in which I leave them and I can spend hours doing them again and in the moment of saving again, the same thing happens again. Hopefully after about 5 times I manage to save a complete pose correctly and that takes a lot of time from my work. Im trying to contact again the creator but nothing. Im very dissapointed.
Could have been great...............................
The finger poses work great When exported but if you adjust your wrist along with you fingers and then export it the fingers with in the pose will still work but the wrist wont in the exported pose. Which completely messes up the pose that i was going for. Tried to contact the owner by NC and by IM and he refuses to respond on the matter. Would have gave it more stars but the costomer service is horrible. So for anyone thinking about getting it dont if you think you might need to adjust your wrist or contact the creator.
This is a fantastic hand pose tool!
Very easy to use, adjustments are intuitive and very straightforward. It works as advertised. Adjusted my first hand pose in less than 5 minutes. would definitely recommend.
