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. The AnyPose BVH version can export the final pose to a .BVH file that can be uploaded to SL as a single frame animation and used without the stand. Now with version 1.5, AnyPose animator is included at no additional charge! Try your hand at making animations!
If you do not need to save .BVH files, and just want the ability to pose your avatar in-world, try the feature limited AnyPose Basic available at the anypose store, authorized resellers or on the Marketplace.
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.
Furniture & Vehicle Builders: Create poses in minutes that fit YOUR designs.
Animation creators: Create animations! AnyPose BVH now includes AnyPose Animator! Although it was designed for simple animations, your creativity is the limit!
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.
AnyPose BVH Features:
- Disable joints so they are not animated in uploaded .BVH files. (For example: Disable the Head/Neck for seating poses)
- Download the .BVH via the stand's http services with your web browser (Not compatible with Internet Explorer)
- Save a .BVH using my external server to simplify the saving of .BVH files. (Not compatible with SL's internal browser)
- Sit position helper built in. Includes script to drop into your seating prims.
- Import individual .BVH frames. Works for .BVH files created by AnyPose, may work for frames from .BVH files created by other programs.

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 work
Very helpful tool.
anypose hand problem
i still love this but having problems with the hands i cant move around including my feets not sure why its acting up
As others stated. It's very limited to where you can push the limbs
I like that we can't be noodles outright, because no one in real life is a wet pasta noodle with no bone structure. This limitation I'm talking about however, acts like you got broken hip and you can't even bend a slight inch.
Gets the basic, starter posing done nicely but if you want do some actual movements. Get actual flexibility going, this is not that product.

Limb/body positioning is too coarse and too limited.
In my use case, the positioning is way too coarse and limited, I purchased this with the hope of making some custom stands but for me the positioning is always either too much or not enough, and you can't bend a lot of joints more than a certain amount.
I will say though the HUD is pretty well organized and useful if you can live with the limitations.
Great!
By far the best pose and animation tool available in SL at the moment.
