An unfortunate reality of hands in Second Life is that for too long they have been limited to just a couple of built in poses which can cause issues for great photography or interacting with objects in a realistic manner.
With this in mind I created this Hand Poser HUD to provide a simple and intuitive interface for posing your Bento enabled hands in a position that works best for your needs.
This HUD requires Bento enabled hands to work.
Step 1. Wear the FATE Hand Poser HUD
Step 2. Simply click and drag sliders on the HUD to pose them
FEATURES
1. Save Your Pose
To save your current finger poses simply click the 'save' button on any of the presets. Click the preset button to apply it in the future.
2. Puppeteer
You can now animate other avatar's hands, this is great for photographers with multiple avatars to pose. Simply click the Puppeteer button and select a nearby avatar. That avatar will need to accept animation permissions and also be wearing bento enabled hands.
3. AO
You can now use your FATE Hand Poser HUD as a custom bento hand animation override. Click the 'AO Settings' button and click 'LIST' on the popup menu to configure which preset poses are used in the AO. Your avatar will switch to a random pose in this list during random intervals (as long as the HUD is attached).
4. Minimise/Maximise
The FATE Hand Poser HUD now has more UI control, allowing a full minimise and maximise of the HUD, Hand Controllers or Presets Panels individually to allow for greater visibility, you can also scale the HUD to your own preferences using the build tools.
For best results, disable any built in AO for your bento hands through their HUD or by manually stopping your animations.

Great when used alone
This is very useful, but when I try to use it along side my Anypose it doesn't work.
Does not play well with others
I got this in order to help me with making poses for scenes. By itself, it works pretty good! It's a bit tricky to get all the fingers in the correct positions, but I have no problem with that.
But this HUD doesn't interact very well with the other posing HUDs I need to use at the same time. This one disrupts their interface somehow and causes all the other posing tweaks I've done on other parts of the body to glitch up and become undone. It might be a Bento thing, I am not sure. But I do hope there might be an update to this HUD that would address this issue. Because I don't wanna give up on this one. It'd be absolutely splendiferous if it wasn't for that one thing!
Awesome tool for photographers!
Great tool to use with Bento hands. Easy to use and very well made! You may run into a few issues using with older non-Bento poses,(older poses that have a hand pose as a part of the animation, like gun poses or holding things). This is easily overcome if you ignore the locations on the hands hud and focus on the hands themselves.Highly recommended for anyone wanting full control over the new Bento hands! :)
Perfect.
Easy to use Bento hand poser. Works great with my Vista, Maitreya and Slink Bento hands. Perfect for SL photography/Flickr. Thank you so much Damien :)

Me encanta la opción de inviar a alguien a la pose - I love the puppeteer option ...
Una excelente compra .An excellent purchase
Me encantó!!!!
Real progress in SL
This is great.. I only need 1 set of hands to do everything, the HUD never lags or gets in the way and I dont have to see the SL default polygon hell hands anymore... this is great progress in SL for sure ^^
