NOTE: THIS VERSION DOES NOT SAVE .BVH FILES (Only a demo .bvh). If you want to save .bvh files that can be uploaded into SL, or loaded into programs like Poser, please take a look at AnyPose BVH. This limited version of AnyPose is geared toward photographers and machinimists that may not need to save and upload the .bvh files.
If later you decide you would like all the features of AnyPose BVH, you can purchase an upgrade.
The AnyPose pose stand is unique in SL as the first pose stand that lets you pose your avatar in nearly unlimited positions. Using HUD or keyboard control, you can adjust each joint of your avatar.
Photographers/machinimists: Build your own library of poses that can be easily played back, and adjusted on the fly to fix "Hand stuck in leg" and all the other problems associated with fixed poses and various avatar sizes. Control up to 9 stands at once from the HUD. Use the Live! feature to correct poses made by others.
Features:
- Position each joint via HUD or keyboard control.
- Force the eyes into specific positions.
- Rez a pose stand from the HUD for even more control of your avatar.
- Move and rotate avatars seated on the AnyPose stand using HUD control.
- Live! posing without a pose stand. The Live! feature can also puppet another avatar.
- Make poses as a team. The AnyPose HUD can control pose stands owned by others.
- Tiny avatar mode to make poses for the most common tiny avatar body crusher.
- Use any of SL's 13 hand animations and 20 facial animations while on the stand.
- Combine facial expressions to uniquely express yourself.
- A simple "pose string" can be spoken by the pose stand that can be traded with others, or added to the included AnyPose Player for easy recall.
- Control up to 9 stands from the HUD.
- Mirror Right Arm<->Left Arm / Right Leg<->Left Leg / Whole Body.
- Send poses to U-Poser for additional adjustments, or inclusion into U-Posers animation builder.
- Each joint has roughly 256 positions (Some more, some less) in the normal range of human motion. This give surprising flexibility in pose creation.
- Free updates. AnyPose has a built-in update checker.
Check out the Flickr AnyPose group for examples of what is possible.
Join the AnyPose Announcements group, and search the SL forums for additional info.
Disclosure:
- You can NOT copy poses made by other creators with AnyPose. However, you can use Live! to adjust poses made by others.
- There are sure to be some joint positions that are humanly possible that you can not recreate in AnyPose. That is an unfortunate trade-off of being able to adjust your own joints in-world.
- The AnyPose "WWW BVH" feature does not use any outside servers. The "Save BVH" feature does use an outside server to simplify the process of saving .BVH files so they can be uploaded into SL.
- Linden Labs had considered adding a feature similar to this to SL, but its status is on hold, and it may or may not show up anytime soon. This features was known as Avatar Puppeteering.

great!
I love being able to make my own poses. Thanks so much!
Wish I could control others.
I wish I could control others like the Lelutka AXIS Hud. When taking photos it'd be really helpful to move other's body parts. But other than that it's good.
Quite good but has some flaws
I've been using this for a fair while now. It does well and is good enough for its intended purpose. However, rotating feet or minute details isn't all that stellar. You can't set just how far you move joint positions so precision is also lacking. Most of the poses you can make with it will be relatively stiff.
Other than that it's definitely quite excellent for its price!
Excellent
This is a really excellent piece of kit - completely indispensable for the aspiring SL photographer.
