Looking for stores with animations for thicker avatars

[Ember Starchild]

Any stores that have animations for thicker avis? Like standing/walking/running etc. The ones I know of are for the thinner avis and I'm not sure how to search for more

[Rowan Amore]

Vista has curvy animations for most of their newer AOs.  Voir also has one.

[Lillith Hapmouche]

Tuty, too...

[ashleypayton0]

Even the curvy options from Vista and Tuty often don't work for my avi since they're not made for very curvy avi's. I love Gold Square AO's and many of them work fine for me. 😊

[Maitimo]

I could use an AO like that. I'm more "chunky" than curvy but with my body thickness and muscle sliders cranked up to 100 I do often tire of having my arms disappear into my body with certain animations.

Thanks, these tips can be helpful for me too.

I once bought a fat mesh avi, piggu Jonathan, that I pretty much can tweak so it looks almost like me (for 80+%) in RL.
But I never wear it, because of the lack of a good AO.

I think Voir makes a AO specifically for Jonathan and June.

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ImpEle-Chubby-Girl-AO/1924303 <- A handful of decent, fairly basic poses

My big recommendation, though, is https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Shoulder-Overrider/13415486. Makes a much wider range of poses and animations practical for curvier avi's without hands constantly waving through the hips.

[Kytteh Wytchwood]

If you want to buy an ao hud and drop animations into it, that would work well also. I don't know of any animated animations for walking and running. I do know of a store that makes stand poses specifically for full figured avatars. The brand is Mewsery. https://flickr.com/photos/kittycutiepie

Not sure about animations and AO, but if you're looking for static poses for taking good snaps, Mewsery and Stun have more than good poses!

Arent AO's created using standard default avatars? And thats really all that can be used? That could be why.

I can't remember where on the SL site/Wiki where the avatar models are available for download, but when i was using Daz to do poses i had to import them to create poses/animations on. Anything done using the default Daz body was not compatible with SL. The SL male and female bodies i was using were the default system avatars. Once you saved them as .bvh you could preview them in SL go back adjust in Daz if needed as often as you like before committing to the upload fee

But thats all you can use, right? You cant download a legacy/belleza/kupra body to make animations with. You can only download the default sl bodies. 

[Rowan Amore]

As already mentioned, several places make AOs for curvy women.  So, it can and is being done.

[Sid Nagy]

If you produce for the average size market, you sell a lot more than when you cater for the awesome sized people.
That goes in RL as well. Look at cars, furniture hight like with standard kitchen counters, furniture stability, clothing, shoes, etc. etc.
You're best of being standard size even in dreamworlds like SL,

My only experience is with the freely available SL bodies. I never got in to Bento when it came out so I don't know what was needed/available to make bento poses/animations. Someone with more current experience will know more than me. Most if not all body creators don't make their body kits available to everyone but I would not rule out it being possible to animate with them.

A lot of the animations are the same animations..But say like vista will make one animation but may have three versions.. the original for say regular avatars, then tweak the arms out a bit more for curvy and bigger boobs and regular sized avatar with bigger boobs..

Most of the animations are the same, but they get tweaked so the arms and hands aren't going through the body..

So like I said at the start, you could have three versions or even more of the same animation made for different body types.

Thanks to @Maitimo for linking to a marketplace store that creates for bigger avatars. I saw more ao's for big girls on the 3rd page as well. They are priced very low with a lot of reviews to read through.
