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.

Great Concept but with Flaws...
It doesn't work very well with Anypose. There is something in the scripts between the two posers that don't play well together. You do all this posing on the pose stand then all sorts of posing with the hand poser and suddenly you move a finger and the avi unsits from Anypose. When you ask the person to stand and resit, your hand pose work doesn't go back to where it was without touching each slider again. Then while doing that the poser goes wonky again and all starts over. This is a great product when it works flawlessly. But it rarely does for me. I would recommend buying something else if you can find it, Especially for business use.
A must have!
I am a nail applier creator, and this tool is a second life saver for me! I have used it countless times to get the fingers positioned just right for product photos. Thanks!
Necessary Photography Tool
Quite often, I use various idle animations on my hands even when photoing, and that can be great for a natural, semi-random effect. But sometimes you need a very specific hand pose, perhaps in relation to an object, and then this is an absolutely essential tool to get the most out of your bento hands.
After learning curve, you can do amazing things.
I got frustrated many times before when being limited taking a pic because could not realize my ideas. I do most erotic/adult related pictures, and most the time working with just a bunch of hand poses, even when using Bento hands, so they are very limited for my field of interest.
When first I hear about this system, I was skeptical, and didn't give it a try until really needed to do a pretty complex scene, then I got in TRUE LOVE with it.
Is a bit overwhelming the first time you load the HUD, my first thought was "this is huge" but after moving it on my screen I found it has the right size because if smaller, the sliders cannot be reachable.
The sliders work amazingly, really responsive, sometimes you have almost no delay when using the sliders and looking the result. You require some time to get used to them, but I'm talking about an hour to master it fully and it's worth.
Price is also great, because it can easily cost 3x times more, since bento poses are already high priced, this is the best investment if you do pics regularly.
The Best !
EDIT**
Just to make it clear when i make a pose and save the hand pose in the Fate hud the pose is complete !! Until animare and Fate get together and solve the gap this is the best combo that is out there. Please work with animare to make this dream a reality for us !!
