for Everyone:

TRR-II HUD

     The TRR-II HUD is a new utility for riding horses (or any other creature you can imagine).  Like the original Tiny Rider HUD, this allows Tinies to ride horses designed only to work with Biggies, but it now also works with Loco Pocos avatars.  And, even normal avatars can use it to enhance their riding experience!

Features:

• Tinies can ride creatures made for Biggies
• Loco Pocos can ride creatures made for Biggies and/or Tinies
• Biggies (you 'normal' humanoid folk) can enhance your current horse with new animations

Animations:

• Walking/Trotting animation
• Galloping animation
• Jumping animation
• Astride or Side Saddle
  

     If you have a flat-running horse, you are in for a treat!  The rocking/galloping animation makes you feel as if you are riding a real horse.  (I spent a lot of time testing this on the beta grid -- it was so fun, I couldn't stop!)  These are avatar animations, so they are a lot smoother and less script intensive than horses that bob or tilt by themselves.
     While you are using the TRR-II HUD to ride your horse, your arms will still be free to move.  You can wave to your friends, drink your drink, smoke your smoke, blow kisses, etc!  Adjust your legs to fit your stirrups -- high, mid, or low.  You can also switch between riding astride and riding sidesaddle.


Show Jumper Module:

     The TRR-II HUD also has a built-in ShowJumper module (which is also sold separately).  The ShowJumper is a simple device that lets you make jumps of differing heights, rather than always doing the standard SL 4 meter jump all the time.  Use of the ShowJumper is fairly easy, though some practice is required.  It has three types of jumps:

• Tap the Jump key to do a normal SL 4 meter jump
• Hold the Jump key, and release it shortly after the ShowJumper turns orange to perform a short jump
• Hold the Jump key a longer time for a higher jump, up to 6.5 meters

   Note: when doing the higher jumps, you want to keep the Jump key pressed until you almost land, or else you will start to fall and stumble.  However, do not hold it TOO long, or you will double-jump!  The ShowJumper takes a bit of skill to use!

ShowJumper

     The ShowJumper allows you to perform jumps of various heights, rather than the standard SL 4 meter jump all the time.  You can do short hops of 1.5 meters or so, or big leaps up to 6.5 meters.  There is one built in to the TRR-II HUD, or you can buy a standalone version.






















     Welcome to a new era for Tinies!  Rideable horses are not just for big people any more.  Wunderbar Ranch and Lone Star Ranch both have horses just for Tinies!  Do you already have an editable biggie horse?  Make your own tiny version and use the HUD with it.  Prefer to ride a full-sized horse with your human buddies?  Tiny Rider HUD works for that, too.   Click here for more details on the HUD.

     And why stop at horses?  We now have Tiny Rideable Bugs, and Bats, and the new Pigs!  Click here for the Bats & Bugs.
