First, here's some important stuff to note about animesh, which is what these are...
- Animesh requires an animesh capable second life viewer.
You can download the latest SL viewer here.
Or check out third-party viewers here. - Animesh can't be resized. This isn't our choice; it's a second life thing. Sorry!
- You can only wear one animesh object at a time.
... unless you have a premium account, then you can have two.
Again, this isn't our choice; it's a second life thing. Sorry!
All of our pet products use very similar HUDs and each 'pack' uses the same HUD between the products within it. Please make sure you're wearing the corresponding HUD before attempting to customize a pet!
When you make a change that's important to note, it will let you know in local chat with a private to you (owner) message.
With that out of the way, let's get on with some info for you~
Understanding Selection & Commands
Before we continue, it's important to know how and when your pets will respond to commands from your HUD. If your pet isn't responding to your commands, this is probably why!
All rezzed on land pets of ours MUST FIRST be right clicked and 'touched' before they will respond to any commands from a HUD.This includes wanderers, posers, statics, etc. - literally any animal that you rezz out on land.
This is to make it easier to customize one animal at a time if you happen to have multiple on your land/parcel.
When you 'touch' the animal, it will make a particle float above it that will look like the example shown. This particle will float over it for 10 seconds, which is how long it will be listening to you after that first click. You may now click the HUD and give your animal commands. Each click will refresh the listen timer fresh for another 10 seconds from the time you send the command.
Worn companions and helds will respond to your HUD without needing anything more than a click on their corresponding HUD.
It's important to note that ALL attached companions and helds will respond to a command from their matching HUD. This means if you have two companions or two helds attached at one time they will both respond and change accordingly together.
If you want to customize them individually, you will need to attach one at a time to customize then detach it, then attach the other to customize. When you are done customizing the second animal, you can reattach the first one and both will retain their individual settings until the HUD issues another command while they are being worn.
It's also worth noting that starting specifically with our pets, posers and statics will respond to -any- HUD you currently have attached.
Now that you know how selection and HUD commands work, we can move on!

WANDERERS
This tab lets you control and customize your wanderers.
Radius - Click a number that represents how far in meters your animal can wander from where you turn it on. Each time you click, the wanderer will revert to it's original starting point and start over.
On/off - Green turns your wanderer on. Red stops it and returns it to its starting point
PHANTOM
This will toggle your pet's 'phantom' status.
This means your pet will either be able to bump into physical objects, like your avatar, or if phantom is on your pet is basically a ghost that will pass through everything.
This is only applicable to wanderers.

ANIMATIONS
Your pets (companion & wanderer) can perform four animations on command.
Click the red rectangle ▇ to eliminate that animation from your pet's animation cycle.
Click the green triangle ▶ to force that animation to immediately play and restore it to the animation cycle.
AV AO
This is specific to held pets.
This buttons turns on or off any avatar-specific animations that your held may be causing your avatar to play. Use this if you need to adjust other attachments or wish to play your own custom hold animation.

The texture HUD works with all animals included in the Leopard release..
⚠️ Reminder that just like with the control HUDs, rezzed out on land animals must be selected with a right click ➟ "touch" before they will register commands from any HUD.
⚠️ It will also affect any and all worn pets at once, so customize by detaching/attaching one at a time before wearing both at once.
⚠️ Eye Dilation ONLY works with animesh animated versions of the leopard. Statics cannot change their eye dilation state.
Companions/Attachables
How-to and Important Notes
Companions come with their attachment points pre-set for you, though you may need to move them into a better position to fit your unique avatar.
Companions must attach to your "Avatar Center".
You could attach it to your hand or something, but then the pet will flail and move wherever your hand goes and that's gonna be a bit crazy. So hey, if you need to reset where your dog is attached, right click it in your inventory, hover over "Attach to" choose "Avatar Center".
This will allow you to move your dog into a position where it can walk and move alongside of your avatar. It's best to get the pet even with the ground, even if your avatar is floating in its animations. You could have the pet float in the air, but again, kinda weird. You do you, though!
