Lindy Hop 1 Boxed C/NT
Slow Couples Dance
Motion Capture Couples Dance
This animation was capture in our Edinburgh based motion capture studio www.awesomedog.co.uk with real life dancers. Motion capture allows us to record the movements of real people and then transfer them for use on 3d models and Avatars in SL!
A demo video is to follow but in the meantime, this dance and others can be tried out in our in world store:

INSTRUCTIONS
To use this pose ball drop it on the ground. Each dancer should sit on one of the pose balls. The blue ball represents the male role, the pink represents the female role. The animations should synchronize and play automatically.
SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEMS
Sometimes in SL the animations may not appear synchronized. This is because animations have to download first before they can play. If there is a delay due to lag causing one to be slower to download than the other it can result in them not starting together. You can resynchronize them at any time with the command in chat /8Sync
SHOW / HIDE
The balls appear visible when an avatar is not sitting on them, they disappear when an avatar sits on them. They can be turned visible at any point overriding there normal state with the commands /8Show and /8Hide in chat.
ADDITIONAL ADVANCED SETTINGS
Inside each pose ball you will find a notecard that contains some additional settings for that pose ball. When you edit the note, and save it the poseball will automatically reconfigure.
