help... is there ao couple standing pose?

[Sandra8675]

Is there such a thing as a couple animated standing pose?  I would like one.  I've been seeing static couple standing poses.  But, I'd like an animated one if possible.

Basically, it's either animated or a pose. They're both animation assets, the difference sits in the fact that a pose is only 1 frame, while an animation is composed of several frames.

As per the AO part, i personally never heard of one and it's unlikely to work, as the AO plays animations on freely moving avatars based on their animation state (idle stand, walk, etc) and, therefore, there would be issues in regard of the two involved avatars positions inworld. What you're looking for is more likely to happen as standalone animations to be put in an object, allow the sitting of two avatars, and make them play the couple animation, with no guarantee of matching the intended behavior due to the sheer shape diversity among users. Animations are made starting from an avatar shape, the more different this shape is from your own the more accumulated errors you will get (animation design wants an hand to touch the avatar shape, but your shape has different settings so the hand will never touch the face as intended, either going through the head or never touching it)

However there are a few animation engines, like AVSitter or nPose that allow you to build something that works and can be (approximately) adjusted to work with the widest range of users.
