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.

This is an AWESOME tool! I've tried it once and it's great!!! I do agree that it would be nice to have the ability to move the parts by smaller increments! And WE SHOULD have the ability to "take" the poseball that we rez as a copy of that pose! But this thing...man :)
Due to sl issues there was a mix up in the delivery of this but having spoken to the creator it was sorted out. Great item, will be very useful for those poses you want but can never find.
This is brilliant.
Of course, the settings for limb adjustment could be smaller (e. g. smaller degrees in rotation). Of course, I absolutely miss the possibility to save poses - at least the last 10 poses should be saveable within the HUD, IMHO.
Other than that, which of course wasn't advertised so I didn't expect it, it's really brilliant; and I'll certainly buy later versions which would allow the saving of poses and maybe smaller limb adjustments.
It does what it's advertised to do, and it's simple to use. So I give it 5 stars.
I purchased Avimote PoseMaker PE and it was a great investment. Customer Service is quick to respond to customers and they're friendly. The product is amazing!
Nalrune out!
WOOOOW, great tool, never made animations easier! It's more as simple to use, a instruction isn't needed, but will be great so it's easier to find all options *gg*. I'm woundering about how easy a nice animation can be made :)
