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.
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.
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
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.

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.

I appreciate the demo
as it taught me that posing an avatar is FAR harder then it "looks". I'll buy other peoples poses for a while longer - but THANK YOU for the learning experience.
It is really nice to be able to create poses using your avatar. It allows you to easily adjust the poses to objects inworld. If you use it in conjuction with U-Poser, you can create moving animations that fit nicely with your furniture, vehicles, etc. I highly recommend trying this and if you like it buy the BVH version. And no, I am not a friend of the creator of this product, though he did IM me and was very nice and helpful. So, I would assume that if you have any problems with the product - and I have had none - he would provide good customer support.
