I was happy to see this bit of news this morning (via Massively): The Lindens are still working on Avatar Puppeteering. This will be a way to control and animate your Av in-world using a nifty simulated physics system . Sort of like having Poser or Qavimator available inside of second life. We’ll be able to make up our own poses and create gestural movements on the fly. Shiny.
Check out AvatarPuppeteering.com for more info and a few short videos.
I was playing in poser the other day wishing that we could do live posing in SL – glad to see it may be in the works!

HI Fianna. yeah, it would be so awesome to be able to create poses and gestures on the fly in-world. It looks like the code that supports this Pupeteering has been released by SL – in a rough form. Maybe this will speed up the development of a final working version. Here’s a link to an article about this:
