Dig it kats n kittens: new tool for posing yourself and/or others.

While I was in Rome a scripter named Marcush Nemeth sent me a notecard about a posing hud he’d made. He sent me a demo so I could play around with it and loved it. See… I’d been planning on getting a scripter to make something sort of like it, but this is better than I had planned.

My problem with posing studios is that you have to click through them all to get the one that you want. What if you already knew the name of it? Or even sorted them all out into different catagories like I dunno.. sexy, sitting, innocent, fun, whatever.

After talking with Marcush for a while, his idea was more along the lines of having someone else model and moving them around for outdoor shots. Yeah the menus that I wanted were there but that wasn’t the point for him. So I guess we got the best of both?

What you get:
You have the choice of copy/no tran or no copy/tran when purchasing it. In the folder is a pose ball and 2 versions of the hud. In the picture I’m wearing the full sized, the smaller one is too tiny for my monitor.

How does it work?
Bloody hell if I know. I can’t script myself out of a box. Heh. Ok.. so you rez the pose ball then wear the hud. You or anyone else sits on the pose ball. Easy enough so far? Ok.. so when anyone sits on the pose ball, 4 menu boxes pop up asking if its ok if the owner animates you. Click OK 4 times.

As you see in the picture, you have a bunch of arrows. That’s to move you. Up, down, side to side, forward - back, and rotations. The numbers at the top - 5mm, 25mm, 10cm, 1m - determines the amount you move each time you click on an arrow. The numbers at the bottom determine the degrees you rotate. So if you want to move a lot up in the air: click on the 1m and then click on the up arrow. If you then are close but not enough, you can change the incriments. Fun stuff!

The numbers on the right side in the circles are where you add new poses and change the pose that’s being played. Basically they are 4 separate groups of poses. So you click on 1 and it’ll bring up a menu to choose from only the poses located in 1.

To add poses you need to right click on the hud -> edit -> edit linked parts -> click on the number you want to add to. Just like the picture.

Reset the scripts and you are ready to go.

I think Marcush’s origional plan was to have me sell in them in the pose packs, but since you can add many of them into it I figured he should get all the credit for making it. So if you haven’t seen it yet, there are boxes all over my store where you can buy it along with a demo near the front of the store. I highly suggest at least giving it a try :)

Happy New Year!

I’m back in London now and just getting over the jet lag. Just wanted to give a heads up of the stuff coming up this year. Tomorrow I should be in almost full swing working order.

Some of you may have realized that the sim had moved. Ceres and I both decided to change the sims to be N-S instead of E-W. There are many different reasons for this, which I’ll explain more later, but mostly we want the stores to face eachother. I had been getting a lot of IMs about when I was going to rent out the shops on her sim - which I’m not that’s her store. Hopefully her computer will be fixed in enough time to open the stores at the same time. Personally I think that I shouldn’t have opened the new store when I did because I’ve wanted to change it around for quite a long time. It’s the reason why the rest of the sim hasn’t been built and looks like ass :P

The start of the Machinima Tutorials: I’ve been writing this for some time. I had been debating whether to publish this part first or wait until I have more finished. But ‘eh maybe it’ll help someone now instead of just sitting there :P

The start of the Poser Tutorials: I had first started this in a post but changing to this formating messed it all up. So I redid it, barely started tutorial 2 and wrote out a list of common issues.

Both of those I’ll be continuing to work on.

You may or may not have also noticed that I haven’t been around much. I have a tendancy to disappear on occassion because SL just starts to annoy me. If I get annoyed it’s difficult to log in, let alone be creative. I’m a bit renewed now so hopefully I can start making better stuff.

In the long term, I’ve got a couple of scripts that I’m working on for Machinima projects and I’m planning on hand animating a new swing dance in Maya.

More short term? I’ve got some new AOs, Men’s stuff, couples’ poses, furniture and of course… modeling poses.
