Avatar Animations Inc.

Custom Animations:

Typically a custom designed animation is created to the clients specifications. Here are the limitations set by Linden Labs pertaining to animations in SecondLife:

​

1.) Animations can have no more than 60 seconds worth of unique frames.

2.) Linear animations will therefore end in 60 seconds or less.

3.) There is a maximum of 40fps for any given animation.

4.) Looped animations will only end when stopped.

VWR-27044: A bug causes the reference frame in the .bvh file to be included when measuring the duration of the animation, even though it's never displayed. That means the real length limit is less than 60 seconds. How much less depends on the .bvh file's frame rate, since you have to shorten a 60 second animation by 1 frame.

 

Example:

If you have a 600 frame animation that plays at 10 fps the actual in SL animation will be 599/10 = 59.9 seconds long,

at 20 fps would be 1199/20 = 59.95 seconds,

at 30 fps it would be 1799/30 = 19.96666666666667.

Even at the maximum allowed frames and fps:

2399 frames @ 40fps you have 2399/40 = 59.975 seconds worth of animation.

​

So you can see it not us trying to scam you out of 0.1 seconds of an animation it a known bug that doesn't seem to be too high on LL list of things to fix..

Please put project requirements along with as much detail as possible, any links to videos or images into a notecard and drop it to me along with an IM, or use the contact form on this site. Please allow 2-10 business days for a reply though I often reply with 30 minutes during business hours. I will then be able to set up a time to meet to discuss any questions I may have before recording your animation. I will also provide the use of an Animation Stand to DEMO the animations prior to finalizing the sale.
