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.

Unparalleled hand posing
Very good hand posing tool for aesthetic effect, especially for photographers. Lots of features added to the HUD to make it more versatile since the first version. Very useful if you're looking to quickly define your own hand positions.
Small caveat that I've bumped into, this system uses a lot of animations (SL allows 30 running per av) so you should be aware of everything that may be eating into that count aside from this if you want to use this system for constant use.
New in version 2.0
thanks very pleased with the upgrade. with the ability to change the position of the hands Drugova avotara. Super)
Awesome with the new update!
Now finely this hud is great and will be very useful for my pictures. Thanks for listening to the critics Damien :)
Great version up to 2.0
I got FATE Hand Poser version up(v2.0). Its great!!. moving finger little by little and added HUD folding button. Dissatisfaction to ver.1 was broken all off in ver.2. It's perfect! Thanks for giving ver.2 =)
Normally love Fateplay's stuff...
But I can't bring myself to like this at all. The HUD doesn't remember ANY poses you give it upon detatch and always resets your hands after relog. Got your hand perfect with the sliders? To bad! That's not saved on the HUD custom poses! Oh, and the script time on this? 2Megs of script time. Alone. That sets off 80% of script time monitors. Just... aweful, honestly. Not to mention the HUD is horribly clunky and in your face all the time, AND even when minimized, you just have the menu buttons floating randomly in place, since the buttons that remain shown always are near the center of the HUD....
Overall, horrible design, flawed scripts and overly laggy. The ONLY thing about this that's good is the customization and the built in poses.
Not as useful as I'd like.
I've used this for a while, now, trying to get it to work for hand poses for photographs.The HUD size is huge, covering about half your screen at 1920x1080.
The biggest problem, though, for me, is the sliders aren't precise. The joints don't move slowly and smoothly' it's more that they jump from one position to the next. You don't have enough control over the finger position. The HUD image made me think it was more precise, but it's not.
I'd also like it to export to an animation file, but I'm not sure how practical that is.
This product isn't worth the price in my opinion.
