ANNOUNCEMENT - August 2023: Are you interested in controlling an Animesh NPC with AnyPose? Contact me for details. I am working on a separate item for Mod/Copy humanoid Animesh NPCs.

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. Since version 1.5, AnyPose animator is included at no additional charge! Try your hand at making animations!

NEW IN VERSION 1.91
══════════════════
You can switch between Low and High priority on the stand. High priority allows for overriding more mesh body animations and AOs.

NEW IN VERSION 1.8
══════════════════
• Cloud Memory feature for saving and loading poses without having to deal with notecards.
• Many more Bento Hand poses.
• Integration with Fate Hand Poser Pro 3.2 by Damien Fate for including custome hand poses in your creations (AnyPose BVH ONLY)

══════════════════

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 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 99 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 includes AnyPose Animator! Although it was designed for simple animations, your creativity is the limit!

Features:
• Position each joint via HUD or keyboard control.
• Cloud memory feature allows you to save your poses and recall them from any of your other pose stands.
• Live! posing without a pose stand. The Live! feature can also puppet another avatar.
• 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.
• Make poses as a team. The AnyPose HUD can control pose stands owned by others.
• Use any of SL's 13 hand animations and 40 Bento hand animations while on the stand.
• Force the eyes into specific positions.
• Classic (Non-Bento) facial expression support.
• Control up to 99 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-Poser's 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:
• Integration with Fate Hand Poser Pro v3.2 and later for saving custom hand poses along with your body pose.
• Include Bento hand poses in your creations.
• Save a .BVH using an external server to simplify the saving of .BVH files. (Not compatible with SL's internal browser)
• Disable joints so they are not animated in uploaded .BVH files. (For example: Disable the Head/Neck for seating poses)
• Sit position helper built in. Includes script to drop into your seating prims.

Online help files available from the Help button in the pose stand menu.

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.
• No refunds will be made, if you are unsure of this purchase, try the demo for free.
• Replacements can be provided with proof of purchase.

I have been in SL for 16 years and have been making poses and animations using about every tool available. I enjoyed and older Prim Avatar based system for a while, but it was never quite right, the animations and poses always required several rounds of tweaks to get them just right. THIS system allows me to make a nice pose, then add Frames of Animations Right in SL!! I use retail full perms animations for many of my Guided Tour Systems but for custom fit poses with some small animations - this system is absolutely perfect! It is a truly "what you make (inSL!) is what you get" when you upload the animation back to SL! I am so impressed, I wish it had a detailed image with explanations of every single HUD button though. I find myself poking buttons wondering what they all do - most are obvious but some are not. Please add a page to your help web page with detailed explanations of every single button on the HUD for those of us who like to know all the details? ...and Thank you again for making such a fantastic product! I would give this 10 Stars if I could!

Horrible - do not buy it!

I bought the full edition,. (L$4,500)
There is almost NO documentation or instructions. The video demonstrations do not address the features of the program.
The avatar joint movement is rediculously limited.
The head movement is borked.
I was excited about the feature that creates a modifiable animation frame between two frames, but it only works intermittently.

There's a lot missing from this and it could do with a bit of an update. The price does not reflect the usage of this item. There is no hip control, the movements a joint can make are too big sometimes and too small other times. There's no collarbone control either meaning you can't make a realistic bend in the shoulder above a certain angle.
Kinda wish I had picked a cheaper alternative at this point because the cheaper alternatives can pretty much do the same thing. Update update update to keep this price relevant!
