Slat and qavimator coders, and a new animation tool

[Friday Siamendes]

Although Daz and other apps have many strong features, slat remains a unique tool with several features hard to find anywhere else, such as independent 3-axis curves for all body parts, blending, smoothing, frame adding etc.

For that reason I'm interested in commissioning or collaborating with someone who can modify and update slat and qavimator source code, and combine some key slat and qavimator features into a new hybrid app. It's largely for my use and the community's, but the right combination might have commercial potential as well. Once bvh creators understand how these added features work they will appreciate the value.

The slat creator's user name back in 2006 was "rod Martin," no longer discoverable in-or-outworld.

Here's a link to the old forum posts on slat's genesis, with posts by the equally vanished "Vince Invincible" (nee "Vince Plunkett") who created Qavimator:

The author is "housepainter" at the SourceForge download site.

If anyone knows these creators, or if you're an experienced coder with an interest in this collaboration, let me know.

Commercial use will be a problem, as this is GPL V2, so the source must be made available. You can charge a fee, but then so can anyone else, or give your work away.

I don't mind that - I'm in this to get an updated animation tool. If coders can figure out how to earn something, great. But since I'm getting zero response anyway, it looks like a moot point.
