Avatar Poser Program #1 : You Pose H-Anim Avatars Program
Avatar Poser Program #2 : H-Anim Posing program an earlier version.
A Java enabled browser with a VRML plug-in that is EAI compliant is required. Java 1.1 and Comso 2.1 are the most reliable. LIMITATIONS : 1 ) ONLY _ ONE _ Axis of Rotation per Joint. 2 ) The program is NOT DONE YET. ( see #1 ). 3 ) No joints in head, hands or feet are accepted. ( see #2 ) 4 ) It will fail on some systems. It cannot work if parts of your system do not provide the required functionality. - - a plea for adherence to standards follows - - It can only work if the 4 components : - the browser - the VRML plug-in - the Java Virtual Machine - the avatar conform to standards. Some companies intentionally deviate from standards to advantage themselves, HURTING ALL OTHERS IN THE PROCESS. Note : Robust & Reliable solutions will emerge with Java 2.0 which will be standard with Netscape 5.0. Java 2.0 will eliminate the need for a separate VRML plug-in, the browser non-compliance problem will vanish and then H-Anim 1.1 can flourish. Have fun ! I've enjoyed using H-Anim with Java. http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/HAnimPoser.htmlYou can download the avatars ellen and droid.
They are simple text files, and they are VRML 97 and H-Anim 1.1 compliant.
