The definitive Pandora’s HUD, and it’s freebie demo.

If you still don’t know it, the Pandora HUD is “an easy to use friend/couple/group animator that only has to ask animation permissions once. After receiving them, a Pandora user will be able to play any loaded animation to a group up to 22 avatars in the given range.”

The starting little hud growed with time; lots of hugs, poses and routines, facial expressions, integrated AO (ZHAO II) , built-in “stop all animations”… but big as it becomed, there where always things to do. I don’t mind to work at it, but I hate to think that my previous customers have to choose between their old huds or having to buy a new one, so I kept the updates slow.

Now I can proudly present you the Pandora HUD - Final Edition, wich (I hope :-p) will be the definitive one.

The hud has (I’ve marked in italic the new functions of the Final HUD):

- Can keep permissions from up to 22 avatars and animate them at the same time (synch dances and group hugs, here we are :-). Avatar release range has been fixed to 50m… no more people stuck hugging the air because they walked away. There is also a temporary permissions button that will ask and keep permissions from the nearest avie until you press it again.

- Adjustable animation range: MRange (10m) is the standard, but you can also use SRange (1m) so the HUD doesn’t affect nearby friends unless they are really close to you, or LRange (20m) to long range group animations.

- 12 face to face hugs (includes two new, sexy ones), 9 complex ones (clinging, from the side, from the back, including a vampiric bite), 6 freebie group animations and 12 emote-like animations, with variations for small or tall avies. Also, you can customice the internal notecard and add your own.

- 19 looped facial expressions, plus a dedicated HUD button to stop/start them.

- Integrated AO (ZHAO II) that can be configured from the main menu. The HUD disables the AO while hugging (or while being hugged, if done by another Final Edition HUD). If your friends are using other ZHAO II devices, ask them to put copies of the included ZHAO II Blocker script that comes with the HUD, so it can control their AOs too.

- Menu options to stop all animations that affect your avatar (StopAll), or to do so and also freeze you in an arms crossed stance until you press it again (Block).

All this for “only” 1200L$… but if you aren’t sure you can try the demo, a reduced copy/transfer version of the hud where:

- The temporary permissions button is disabled.
- There are only three permission slots instead of 22.
- The menu for hugs and other animation is disabled; only the four external shortcuts work (but at least you still have all the facial anims :-p).

*** NOTE: There is a story about the three new animations. Feeling curious? I’ll tell you tomorrow ;-p
