A HUD which allows you to move and pose your avatar in just about any way you can imagine. More powerful than owning over 1.7 octillion* regular poses.
Do you have a massive pose collection and somehow still never have the perfect one for right now?
Do you long for a way to move your arm, bend a little or tilt your head?
Do you find yourself in locations where you wish there was a way to move just a fraction left or step onto an object without jumping over it?
The Avimote PoseMaker was developed to solve these problems.
At last you can walk up to a tree, lean back against it, run your fingers through your hair, turn your face to the breeze... and smile for the camera. All in real time.
Align perfectly, bend your avatar only the amount that looks good, position your arms to accommodate the skirt you happen to be wearing and just about anything else you can think of.
Imagine the possibilities if, instead of a tree, it happens to be another avatar, who also has a PoseMaker...
Video Demonstration
The Avimote PoseMaker is a Heads Up Display (HUD) which allows you to pose your avatar in-world with power and flexibility which was previously possible only with external tools.
Simply click the joint you wish to adjust (such as right thigh or left shoulder) and then bend or turn it using the HUD buttons or your arrow keys.

This is amazing !
I am just getting into photography and was a little concerned about having to search the marketplace for poses I wanted that may not have been posted yet, since I am not skilled with Blender or other animation software I needed to find an easy way to animate and pose avatars and this is it.
Thank you so much for this amazing product!
What does soon means ???
I bought PE editions several month ago and the SE edition was already announced as soon comming, does the SE version will comes a day or is it only announced for selling the PE version ?
Yes I also miss the option to save the pose and use it in a poseball or in a Sit Target Positioner (or I overlooked something?)
I make erotic art and with this HUD I make these amazing sexy poses...
Big investment but always useful!
If you have ever made a pose on your own, you don't need this product. The increments you can move the limbs in are not small enough and you can't save what you spent all that time working on. It *is* a very well designed and executed product, but i find i have never used it since buying it.
a friend of me recommended this to me, and its an awesome tool, very helpfull for modding poses or making your own, but i dont like a few things about it which id like to see added/changed
1 more precise posing:
you can only bend and rotate with 16 at a time, id love to see that changed to 4 instead, this way you cant make very precise poses, like, make 2 buttons instead of 1, one for 4 degrees at a time and one for 16
2 saving of the poses you make:
id love to see this feature added since its kinda lame that when you make your own pose you cant save it, it should be fairly easy, if you would make the hud connect to a simple program on internet which converts the info from the pose into a bvh file so you can save it and upload it to sl again
3 higher limits:
its great that there are limits to how far you can bend or twist a limb but the limits are waaay to low, i cant even make my lower arm turn 90 degrees which you can in rl, if those limits could please be removed or at least set way higher, like, the lower arm can tunr 32 degrees at max, which is not by far as much as you can in rl
