Making Custom Animations In Avimator


Avimator is a program in which you can produce your own animations, using the default male or female model. You have the option to rotate any of the limbs on the x, y and z axis. This allows you to create individual poses or animation. The frame limit is 30 seconds so for a smooth piece of footage, it would only last a second. I had a go at getting to grips with it, and found it extremely tedious. Due to a few errors such as crashing and not saving the .bvh file which is needed to export to animation.
After getting a basic animation clip of a 'wave' i can export the file to Second Life and apply the new animation (at a cost) to my character.
