Why not build those ideas into the tools? Linden Lab? Let's remember that SL was built on community and creative collaboration from its early days. So, surely there must be some way to accomplish both without it becoming bloaty. A way to pose other people via permissions systemД«oth of these features can already be accomplished in SL with the HUDs. The abilitiy for your pose to be seen by others But, where it falls short is group related stuff. If you wanna do animations, it has that, too. If all you care about is seeing yourself, you're game then. I love the detailed control of the Poser in Black Dragon. Many more of Cassie's BlackDragon-made pics here. But the proof of the pose is in the screenshot pudding, and so here's what Cassie made through Black Dragon: That alone is three times more accurate.'ДЄbove is an old but still relevant demo of the posing feature. Meaning there are 1000 rotation steps possible before you do a whole rotation. It can simply rotate any of the over 300 available bones in any direction at a precision of 0.001 steps. 'The poser because it's a UI feature doesn't need this. or you internally count how much degrees you want and play animation with X amount degrees so you are basically limited by how many animations you have. You stack them 1 degree, another degree, another degree. Let's say 300 animations that move the upper arm 1 degree up. They are limited by how many animations you can squeeze into the HUD, or how much money you are willing to pay for uploading tiny-change animations.

'Get rid of people selling shitty, overpriced HUDs to people to pose themselves.' His motivation for creating such a complex viewer-only poser? As he puts it to me in his usual blunt way: (It can also be used for couple poses if you launch it in a couple animation - though again, only viewable/photographable by the individual user.)Д«lack Dragon creator NiranV tells me his poser enables adjustments over 300 avatar points with 1000 adjustment options each. The end result is only viewable (and photographable) by the end user, but seeing as most SL fashion shoots are already a solo avatar affair, that's a minor consideration. Among those features is what Cassie is showing here - an ability to pose and photograph your avatar with an extremely high degree of complexity. This is a fun livestream of beloved SL YouTuber Cassie posing her avatar through Black Dragon, the third party Second Life viewer with a cult following for its high end graphics features.
