Stop the "Dance of the Heads" with the Gesture Randomizer HUD!
The HUD is designed to add personality to your horse avatar and to stop the 'dance of the heads' that occurs when two or more horses are together for any length of time, as their AOS synchronize and play the same base animations. The HUD plays its own set of randomly selected animations from pre-built sets, or from sets that the HUD owner can create for themselves following the simple instructions included with this set.
The frequency of the randomization can be easily changed, and different sets (available separately) can be easily installed with our custom autouploader and easily changed with a simple click of the button. The HUD itself is small and can be further minimized.
The Randomizer adds realism to the horse avatar by enabling random animations and sounds to be played on top of your regular AO, without interfering with your Gesture HUD.
*** What's included:
The basic *E* Gesture Randomizer HUD
with the "Basics" gesture pack pr-installed as the default set.
The Basics - 10 sounds, 10 animations for the Standing and Walking avatar states. Animations include alert, bobbin, fly stomp back leg, look right, looking back, pawing left, snakeee, sniffing ground, neigh long and neigh short.

*** How to use the Gesture Randomizer HUD
1. Wear it.
2. If it is not turned on, turn it on so the on/off button is green.
That's it.
*** Troubleshooting
While the HUD itself is largely trouble free, here are some things you may find happening, particularly if you decide to make your own Gesture Sets.
1. You find that animations play when you're laying down using the animations from your gesture HUD.
The SL server thinks you are standing still, and your Gesture Randomizer will play all the gestures loaded for your Standing state. If you have leg animations in the standing spot, then you may find your legs doing odd things. Just turn your Randomizer off if you're laying down using the gesture HUD.
2. You find that your animations conflict or fight, especially if you use 3rd party animations or try to create your own Gesture Sets.
We have carefully layered our animations to work together as a suite of products. Generally speaking, if we use an animation in a standing state, it's safe to use that animation in a standing state in any Gesture Set you make for yourself. We can make no assessment or guarantee about other animations made by other makers, nor can we guarantee that this HUD will work for other avatars.
*** Permissions and Usage
Scripting, animations and sounds: Copy/no mod/no transfer.
Notecards & HUD itself: Copy/Mod.
Created specifically for the *Elite Equestrian* RealHorse horse breed avatar. We have not tested it with any other make or model of horse nor with other 3rd party animation/sounds.
As ever, try before you buy at our in-world store in Cherry Island. We also have demo horses wearing these randomizer HUDs so you can see them in action.
Moves so naturally
Now when I stand there next to you my movements are natural and I love the way I no longer just stay in one stand or pose. Wonderful.
Amazing realism! ! A must-have!
This is hands down amazing! I love how easy it is to add additional animation and sound packs into it. It's so creative and will make your realhorse feel and look so realistic. No more having to push gestures on the hud, you can put it on, adjust the time intervals and not have to worry about which gesture to push. I adore this. I couldn't imagine Not wearing it.
Total schöner sounds zu dem Pferd es macht das Pferd lebendiger !
