A HUD which allows you to move and pose your avatar in just about any way you can imagine. More powerful than owning over 1.7 octillion* regular poses.
Do you have a massive pose collection and somehow still never have the perfect one for right now?
Do you long for a way to move your arm, bend a little or tilt your head?
Do you find yourself in locations where you wish there was a way to move just a fraction left or step onto an object without jumping over it?
The Avimote PoseMaker was developed to solve these problems.
At last you can walk up to a tree, lean back against it, run your fingers through your hair, turn your face to the breeze... and smile for the camera. All in real time.
Align perfectly, bend your avatar only the amount that looks good, position your arms to accommodate the skirt you happen to be wearing and just about anything else you can think of.
Imagine the possibilities if, instead of a tree, it happens to be another avatar, who also has a PoseMaker...
Video Demonstration
The Avimote PoseMaker is a Heads Up Display (HUD) which allows you to pose your avatar in-world with power and flexibility which was previously possible only with external tools.
Simply click the joint you wish to adjust (such as right thigh or left shoulder) and then bend or turn it using the HUD buttons or your arrow keys.

WASTE OF MONEY !
This does the exact thing as Animare Pose & Animation System except you cant save your pose. and Animare Pose & Animation System costs 300L !!!!! i am totally unhappy with this item. i expected more and what i got was the exact same thing minus the safe functionality. you really should be ashamed !
Warning to all others please save your hard earned money and just buy the Animare Pose & Animation System here on the mp. you can save what you make and it cost 2150L less than this joke !
Amazing tool!
Great tool for adjusting poses or creating your own no matter where you are!! Love this hud and definitely suggest it for anyone who does photography or models. Really wish the other editions were released. It'd be nice to use it on other avatars as well. ♥♥ Thank you!!
PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!!
If you are looking to buy this to make poses DO NOT BUY THIS! YOU CANNOT SAVE THE POSES! THERE IS NO OPTION TO SAVE POSES! It is good to use if you want to adjust a pose you bought and you need something twitched here or there. That's it. It's useful for nothing else. I'm disappointed, but my own fault..I didn't read the reviews before I bought it...
This is to the Creator(s) of this fine product.
Two specific items for improvement:
1) The limits you've set for how far you can bend or twist a limb to low, The lower are rotation is unrealistic. I an rotate my lower arm way more then in your model. There are additional limitations that are set too low for other parts of the body.
2) Your bend and rotate steps are too big. They need to be more precise. You have them set at 16 at a time, it would be better if it was 4 instead for more precise control. Perhaps instead adding an option for the increase or decrease buttons that allow setting the step size. Perhaps 1,4,8,16. This could be a single global settings option.
One final note:
Reading about your future versions (PoseMaker SE (Standard Edition), PoseMaker SE (Prefessional Edition), You plan on offering the ability to save your poses. BUT, you have to pay an Additional Monthly Charge to get the animations you saved to the proprietary Avimote Database Service? Why do that?
I can think of at least two pose makers (One in-world HUD and one PC/MAC program) that are easy to use and allow pose saving (bvh) to users HD at no cost. At least one of these is FREE all the way round. It is my humble opinion that you are trying to hard to monetize your system to the fullest (which is understandable). You should ditch the additional cost of the database.
And as its been since 2009 when you first introduced this product and you've not gone on to create the other two versions then perhaps it would be a good idea to upgrade this one so users can save their poses. Avimare does, and its cheaper.
most useless thing I ever spend money on
It works fine. But you cant save your work. i would give it zero stars but the system wont let me.
Needs an update
No updates have happened in ages and it really could use an update to make the movement increments smaller. The control over poses is just not good enough when the joint movement increments are as big as they are at the moment.
