Mesh Violin with static bento poses and playing anim Version 1.0

Thank you for your interest in Ashlee Cadell products

The mesh violin is a detailed precision model based upon designs by Stradivari.

The instrument includes 10 static bento poses for still photography and a thirty second looping "playing" animation. When attached your avatar will assume an animated "standing" ao, holding the instrument. When other animations are selected the avatar will transition from the standing animation to the selected animation, and will transition back to standing when the animation is stopped. I recommend turning off your usual AO while you are wearing the violin to prevent any high-priority animations you may have in it from overriding the violin animations (for those interested in such things, the standing anim is a priority 3, and the static and playing anims are priority 4)

All animations/poses (and their associated HUDs) are provided in two versions (with or without facial animation)

The violin itself is also provided in two versions, one for use with the HUDs, and one with its own menu system.

There is a separate modifyable package included which should be used only when it is not possible to fit the instrument to your particular avatar shape (see the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section of the included directions notecard for more details on this, and other options for getting a better alignment).

Copyable versions of all animations/poses found in the violin/HUD are also included in a pack of standalone animations.

See the pictures included with the listing for examples of the static poses, and watch the video https://youtu.be/HS6GySZC1oo to see the playing animation.

PLEASE NOTE
- this item is sold as copy/no transfer so I will not be able to refund any purchases, unless you have evidence that you have (presumably accidentally) bought the product twice.

- The default alignment of the instrument was designed for one particular avatar shape (my own!). It may need slight adjustments using the viewer build tools to work with your shape. Arm lengths and shoulder width etc will vary and cause the default alignment to need modifying. Options are given in the enclosed directions for workarounds when you simply cannot get a good fit to your shape (Using Modifyable instrument, or getting a custom fitting from me at a small extra charge)

- THIS ITEM IS INTENDED AS A POSE PROP OR AN ANIMATED PROP FOR PERFORMERS TO USE WITH THEIR OWN MUSIC- IT DOES NOT PLAY ANY MUSIC ITSELF.

** A NOTE ABOUT BENTO EYELID MOVEMENT **
If you use the versions of the poses/animations included which close the avatar's eyes, you may find that the eyes are left closed after stopping the animation. This can be recitified by playing an animation which opens the eyes - "Static Pose 1 with Facial Animation" will open the eyes again, or you can use your bento head animation hud to select an open-eyed animation.
