Most bloggers (obviously not all!) show off the latest trends, the newest clothes, newest hair, newest everything, so applying logic, they would want the newest poses, too. Poses are most often used (but obviously not only!) by bloggers. I never claimed old poses do not work, why shouldn't they? But when creating things no matter what it is, it's always smart to look at your target market. Good luck and have fun!!! And - Qavimator is (in theory) working on a Bento version, but they have been working on that For-e-ver so I wouldn't hold my breath for an unveiling *wink*.
Of course they cost almost nothing to make, just the upload if you use Qavimator (Blender has some repoorted issues with import but I haven't tried Blender animations in SL). I mostly make pose PROPS (with the poses in there of course) so while fun, I wouldn't expect to make a lot of money from poses. I am still using MANY poses from a decade ago and that is one reason why it is difficult to sell poses - most of us have a whole library of favorites from over the years and they don't go out of style like clothes :D. Some Bento poses are just fine, but some are NOT so good and if you have a mesh body you DO have hand options in with your body, so personally I don't get all that excited about Bento poses. Just to note, Gaia Clary ( owner of Machinmatrix and Avastar) said that they had a refund policy (30 days maybe?) so you could always write and find about about that since there isn't a demo. Thanks for your help, I will look into those things and see where I go, if I'm still wanting to be in SL a month from now then maybe I'll invest in Avastar. So if you want to sell, you either need to devalue your work and sell dirt cheap, or stand out among the crowd. There's plenty of pose makers out there, poses are incredibly easy to make, they take only the fraction of time an animation takes to make as a pose is nothing but a single frame of an animation. Your target audience is people who use poses.those people take screenshots for blogs, or their flickr.as such they are the most likely demographic to HAVE a bento body, so yes, bento poses matter a whole lot. SL market moves fast and unless you dominate a niche.if you want to make poses, you should really get with the time. I highly recommend it as I use it myself to make animations. With that taken care of you should be able to invest into Avastar. There's also the wide variety of daily sales such as 60 Linden Weekends, 25L ones, 30L ones and 50L ones depending on the weekday. There is a TON, a true TON of mesh clothing out there for 0L (alongside accessories and such), whether they're directly in the MP, given as gifts during sale events or hunt gifts. You need to join the group (50L) to take advantage of this but that's incredibly cheap for what you get and will take care of the mesh body and head issue.
AVASTAR BENTO BODY SLINK FULL
Is that the only real difference with bento poses?ĭo 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.Īltamura has a full bento body on their sim for 1L that gets refunded to you after purchase.
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.
AVASTAR BENTO BODY SLINK SOFTWARE
I do realise that it's not much in software terms and that the creator deserves to be paid for their work.īut 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?Ĭosts 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 see a lot of talk about Avastar and Blender and I'm frankly nervous about the learning curve!Īlso the cost. My trusty old qavimator is not up to the task. So I used to have a pose shop but have been out of SL for a long time due to rl.Ĭoming 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.
