So I used to have a pose shop but have been out of SL for a long time due to rl.
Coming back everything is new, and I was interested in getting back into making poses, but now they need to be bento and work with mesh bodies/heads.
My trusty old qavimator is not up to the task. I see a lot of talk about Avastar and Blender and I'm frankly nervous about the learning curve!
Also the cost. I do realise that it's not much in software terms and that the creator deserves to be paid for their work.
But to me just returning to SL it's a lot to pay on spec ($54 CDN will feed my family for a few days) so I am wondering if there are any other alternatives like qavimator that also work with bento?
Costs are racking up as I guess I need to get a mesh body, head, new mesh clothes etc even just to ensure that poses I make would work with those things.
I've tried some of my old poses with demo mesh bodies and they seem to work fine, aside from not being able to change the fingers. Is that the only real difference with bento poses?
Do people still use non bento poses? I still sell a few on the marketplace but not many these days, but I haven't made anything new in a long time obviously.
