This HUD allows you to perform simple two person interactions such as hugs and kisses without the need to rez poseballs. It also allows you to play and set up your own two person interactions with suitable animations. The HUD includes 77 built in animation/pose sequences including Hugs, Kisses, Fighting, Fun, Silly and Dancing animations.
The main controls are accessed via the hud interface. To use, simply select the animation you wish to play and click the play button. You will then be asked who you wish to animate with. Upon your selected target granting you permission to animate them, the sequence will commence. As of v3.45 Many of the sequences have multiple animation combinations built in suitable for different avatar heights. The animator will check your avatar height against the target avatars height and play the best fit animations. This helps improve alignment for users with different avatar heights.
** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT AVATAR POSITIONING **
Please be aware that due to SL scripting limitations, it is not possible for any gadgets like this to rotate and position avatars accurately. As a result some animations may be a little off depending on your avatar shape and size. The avatars should also be lined up so they are facing one another for best results as the scripts cannot do this themselves. Due to these secondlife limitations I would recommend poseball based products where exact positioning and alignment of animations is important. This gadget is intended for quick interactions without the need to rez poseballs.
There are many features on the hud, a loop play, A reverse feature to switch animations with your animation partner, a quick action selection menu, ask once mode and much more. The Animator, contains a limited set of commands you can use in chat, Advanced functionality is not available through chat, but you can trigger animations in a currently selected animation set, and control a few of the options such as reverse. This version of the animator is copy/no trans. An autoupdate feature is built in for future updates.
* NOTE ABOUT ILLEGAL V2 COUPLES ANIMATORS *
You may find from time to time people selling (or distributing for free) animation huds based on my old version 2 couples animator on the marketplace or in world (They can be recognised by their blue texture). These are NOT legitimiate copies sold by myself and I have not authorised anyone to sell these on my behalf. These are illegal pirate copies that have had there permissions exploited. I've not sold any version 2 couples animators myself since early 2008, and have never released them full perms. Although this v3 product has many more features and animations it is not intended to be an update or full version to these hacked copies.
The Advanced Couples Animator comes with these couples interactions build in. (77 animation pairs)

I purchased this, mainly for couple's dancing. The picture shows it set for a dance. I tried every animation on it. I, personally, could not line up a single animation to work right. We were always off. Even when we were lined up touching each other, straight, then stepping straight back, the animations were off when we ran them, often significantly. Adding other animations was also is an issue, as there is no way to sync them to work correctly. If you are more adept than my S/O and I are, and if you want it for just the animations in it (we tried them, and could not line them up, either), then, by all means, purchase this. If you want to add your own animations, or do not excel at lining up your avatars, then think about it first. And play with it before spending the money for additional animations.
The creator DID respond promptly to me, when I sent a notecard asking about it. It just was no help for me, because telling me to 'practice' does no good.
Abranimation quality =)
Has a WADLOAD more anims then V2, five thumbs up!
Also nicely categorised. Helps me find the right anim much better.
I have had the couples animator v2 for quite some time, and this is a complete overhaul. I am very pleased with the quality of this product and could not be happier with it. The animations are great, the scripting of it seems to be done very well, and the features are all great. 5 Stars, and keep putting out great animations products.
