THE ENCOUNTER by EXIS
First of all, since the designers create the poses in a certain way, using, probably their own avatar size and shape, there is always a chance of the pose not working well for you. In this case, do not panic!
You can always edit the pose unlink them and moving (if using the old poseballs method) or just setting up the modern sitter which is recently provided by many posemakers.
This way you can adjust the poses individually, move them up or down, back or forth.
If this is not enough there are also huds like Animare or Anypose that allow you to move parts of your body, in case your hand ends up in your hair or dress or even worse, inside your picture partner’s back for example. Be careful though! If you’re supposed to blog the pose, you can’t change it.
Yes you can remove your fingers from your hair, but you can’t move your hand down for example. The creators needs to recognize their work and people need to know what they’re buying.
Second of all, couple or friends poses, require more than one avatars, obviously. In this case you can either use an alt or, in my case, models.
Since for me personally, one account is already too much to handle, I’d rather work with Jules in case I have to make a females pose or male models for couple ones.
Besides, how or why would I ever miss the opportunity of a) bugging and upsetting Jules with my OCD and need-to-be-perfect behavior and b) hugging a shirtless guy for like an hour and instead use a, most likely, bad-looking male alt that I would have created? He he.
