I must admit to a certain fascination with all this. The "how" of 'how it evolves.'
 
Personally, I hope the poses are NOT tied to just User rooms. I'd hope the content could go into a a large database and be added to the existing ones. You could get literally 1000's to choose from over time. Of course some will be better than others. Just don't use them.  Perhaps to weed out the lesser ones a voting system could hide ones not making the cut to a sub- menu and only the top ones are visible. I doubt the Dev's would put that much effort into it, but you never know.
 
On the other hand, it might be interesting if poses were tied to a room. The best rooms would certainly dominate over time and there would evolve specialty rooms:
 
Some may strictly work on romantic rooms with just foreplay (hugz, kisses, hand holding, etc) for music,
Some would become specialty  themed, Lesbian, Gay or maybe Futa.
Some may cater to group engagements - especially if the invite system was extend beyond say threesomes. 
Some may focus on BDSM - but I dunno how your get the pose to interact with a prop so that ropes and such line up. I don't see how 'toys' could be added either, as they are a prop that has to be added. That seems to me to be beyond the scope of this type of pose editor. I guess they could make poses with hands holding toys and such, but then the Devs are back to making scratch poses again - so why not just make them or hire someone too.
 
It could be interesting if poses could be shared like the world files are, perhaps.  So many pro's and cons too varying ways.  I'd think if content of any kind becomes tied to rooms, a kick/ban system becomes even more vital to administrate your 'world.'
 
 
Additionally, consider the World Editor. The world Editor isn't even fully finished. I just hope that doesn't become like many of the pose sets - a half done ADHD project and move on to something else. The concept for pool, walls, sitting  and beds is incredible, but some are limited to just a few poses. The sets are not even close to complete.  It seems they were abandoned in favor of the World Editor (which is my personal favorite) but does that become a half realized project also?  Will materials continue to be added, or will custom textures ever become a reality?  Clothing? So much is needed.
 
I honestly, can't see based on the short time I've been here, any other way than editors for building, poses and clothing for lot's of content weekly like micro-economies in RLC and Second Life produce DAILY can be achieved in any other way. The best creators will always gravitate to those for $$. 
 
But it is fascinating as all hell to wonder how this will be created - if they choose too.
 

I will vote a conditional yes, if the new poses are bound to rooms, not public venues. Not that I am concerned about poorly done poses, but rather individuals creating poses that will be used to troll others. We have seen how a single pose, the male stroking pose, has been used to annoy others in game.I cant imagine what people will come up with that do not require a partner approval and can be executed close to another to harass and embarrass others minding their own business. I like it too visiting someones home and the dog runs up to you and starts humping your leg.

I am totally on board with the idea of a pose editor. But I believe that there should be safeguards before any player-created pose is adopted widely. 
 
There are poses that could be created ... that could be toxic to other players.  Consider how the game could be damaged with the following:   [TRIGGER WARNING]
A pose where a player slugs another with a fist, or kicks another player, or stomps a player's head. A pose where a player strangles another. A Nazi salute: some asshole will undoubtedly create a "pose" where the players Sieg Heil each other.  A player posing as if to shit on another. A hair-pulling, ass-slapping pose.  That might be welcome to someone (like myself) that is into BDSM, but it could be very hurtful to someone that isn't into it. I can think of a lot of bondage poses that would be disturbing to someone not into bondage. A player miming shooting another player, with the 'victim' falling to the floor and twitching in death throes. There are people out there that are into necrophilia.   I'm sorry to be so graphic here, but I'm trying to illustrate how horribly a pose editor could be abused.  We cannot allow this kind of stuff in game.  So if we are to have a pose editor, what's the solution?  Well, I can think of two approaches:
 
First, maybe before a player-created pose is adopted and available to the community at large--it should be approved by the devs.  Actually, to help the devs' workload, I think a better approach would be to have dev-selected player-moderators review and approve (or not) player-created poses before they become widely available.  
 
Alternately, maybe the game user-interface could be modified to add a preview of a pose.  Then you could see an animation of a pose on a thumbnail before deciding whether to click 'accept'.  Actually?  There probably should be a thumbnail animation no matter what.  
 
Another thought:  BDSM poses should be flagged so that people who aren't into it don't mistakenly accept a pose that could be disturbing and / or traumatic to them.  
 
Yeah.  So as much as I want to see a pose editor in 3dx; I don't want it to end up destroying the game. 
 
We should talk about this some more.

Although the "no" votes were well reasoned and thoughtful, it's clear that the pose editor is going to happen.  Since gizmo has said that they haven't started on it yet, though, maybe we have time to influence how it happens.  I suggest we move from talking about the problems that user generated poses will create to talking about how to solve those problems.
 
I'm not concerned about the editor itself.  I have every confidence that gizmo will make something that gets the job done.  The problems I want to solve are all "policy" ones.  How do user generated poses become available to users?  How are they organized?  Those kinds of things.
 
I believe that we need at least four policy features in the game to support user generated poses.
 
First, we need "release rings" for poses, and a mechanism to move from one ring to the next.  The rings I think make sense are "in the editor", "in your own world", "in a holding area" where other people can pull them into their worlds, and "in public spaces."  The idea being that you start working on a pose in the editor.  When you're comfortable with it, you "promote" it to your world, where you can invite people in to try it.  When that's good enough, it can be promoted to a holding list where people in other worlds can pull it in, try it, and push it back out if it's not good.  Finally, if it's good enough, it can be promoted to public ring where everyone can see it, even in the official rooms like the Sin Club.
 
Second, we need a mechanism for the community to "upvote" or "downvote" poses.  It should be in-game, and it should be very easy.  Two buttons next to the pose, + and - or heart and broken heart, whatever.  Then we'll need a policy where a pose needs a certain percentage of positive votes over negatives as well as a minimum number of total votes before it can be promoted from one ring to the next.  I don't know what the right percentages are, but they should increase as you move up through rings.  For instance, you only need one vote (your own) to move from the editor to the "your world" ring.  Maybe you need 3 out of 5 positive votes to promote it to the holding area.  And maybe you need 65 out of 100 positive votes to move it to public.  I have no idea if these are the correct numbers, but the mechanism seems right.
 
Third, we need a mechanism for a world owner to "opt out" of public poses.  If someone makes a set of highly popular BDSM poses, but you don't want BDSM happening in your club, you should be able to disable them for everyone who comes to your world.  And, note that this should apply to official poses as well, not just user generated ones.  If someone wants to say, "I hate anal sex, so I'm banning it from my club" he should be able to, even though that's an official pose.  Ideally, we'd be able to either "opt out" or "opt in."  Some people will just want to disable a few disliked poses while others will want to only allow a small subset.
 
Fourth, we need a mechanism for a player to ignore a pose without ignoring the player.  Back to the BDSM example.  Let's say that there's a popular set of BDSM poses that have made it to the public ring.  And say that there's a player who doesn't want to see them when she's dancing in Sin Club.  The people using them aren't doing anything wrong, and she doesn't want to ignore them, but she still doesn't want to see the pose happening.  So, she goes to the pose list and clicks an "ignore" button on the BDSM poses.  Then, whenever people near her use those poses, they see the BDSM but she sees an idle animation.  Also, if you've ignored a pose, then people having sex with you won't be able to suggest it.  And, again, this should work on official poses as well as user generated ones. 
 
Gizmo, I believe that if you implement these four features you'll avoid most of the problems that user generated poses will bring.

Release this pose editor...proof it for quality and share it to all of us...basta....it is up to you dev`s.....!!!!

Thats would be great. Can we use toys or other things with the pose editor too ? please please please

Well let's hope materials and Props continue to be added, clothing is added oe clothing editor, and other things.
 
RLC2 will be released (re-branding of Curio) before September and will get 6 weeks front page exposure on pornhub. There are people with 4 years content waiting to be added to it.
 
Time to speed up adding needed things. Only about 5 months till competition gets much fiercer.

Here is my proposal.
Give the opportunity to create poses for users.
Give the tools to create poses.
Choose the best from them.
For postures that you enter into the game, give the month of subscription to its creator.

changing the click to walk  to WASD controls would stop the annoying interference of movement and wrongly opening someones Profile in over populated areas.

ii depens on what you call sex... Porn for sure now. But a good athmosphere is good for real sex

The world editor is fun but im tired of all that stuff this is a social sex game we need more poses and more clothing and character editing details things to make this game fun again to go out and meet strangers not more things to do by yourself in in construction simulator D:

One way I would suggest to do this is to have a variant of landing zone but being an 'exit zone' instead which will lead to another designated room in the exit script controls. 
That way it is possible to build a world of networked rooms (to other owner's rooms too), and the ability to transfer to the destination is controlled by the current sharing rules of the destination room.

i  also  would  be pleased,  if  futas   on on girl  has  the  same positions  like the  heteros <3 <3

I dunno ... the devs have been highly resistant to the screaming of their customer base for new poses for a long long long long time.  Why would they change suddenly?
 
 
You're right.  And at the end of the day, you'll still be right ... and we still won't have new poses.  Complain all you want--just don't hold your breath.  I think (and I hope) that Gizmo's post that starts this thread is a recognition that the devs need the players' help in creating new poses.  
 
The only way we're going to get new poses on a consistent basis ... is to allow the players to create them.  The only way we're going to get new clothes on a consistent basis ... is to allow the players to create them.  Our only real hope of getting anything worthwhile ... is to allow players to create it.  
 
On a more positive note:  Look at what a smashing success the World Editor is.  Keep up the momentum, devs!  You're on the right track!  Pose editor first, and then let's talk about a clothing editor.

I have to say I agree with this just saying suppose the poll had gone the other way do people really think we would get more poses? I am fairly sure that the skill set needed to make a pose editor and make more poses are totally different... It seems to me that the devs mostly add them in bust maybe they hire someone to make them now and again we likely will never know. The best thing is more editors and them letting the community add more content.

I think the best would be to distribute a tool to create poses, but then to be submitted to dev/whatever, for test and global implementation. So we wouldnt have buggy poses and everyone coud access them. Dev could reward submitters with free days or xgold.

I am totally on board with the idea of a pose editor. But I believe that there should be safeguards before any player-created pose is adopted widely.

A player miming shooting another player, with the 'victim' falling to the floor and twitching in death throes.

Be all welcome to party at the Full Moon Island, great Djs, good place to be.

Come and leave your clothes at home, be naked and have fun with like minded people

xoxox

Ever heard of using the right pose for the right moment?  I often have a full sexual encounter using just a slow dance and text .... But I pay for graphics so like to use them  .... And its nicer if I can pick poses that actually mirror what I am doing and saying.
 
Personally what other people get up to doesn't bother me  ... I don't go around watching other people fuck  ... so why would the way they choose to fuck spoil my game?

At 1st I thought there would be a huge amount of work needed to create such a thing as a runtime pose editor, but after my hubby who is right into this sort of stuff had a look in what is available in Unity now it seems it may not be so hard.
Unity 5.3 added some features that allow for some really cool things including being able to move different parts of an avatar using runtime commands.
Also things like being able to pick objects, like say a guys butt and have your avatar just stay watching it.
We do think the editor will still need to have like pre made animations though that can be transferred to the avatars, like we make our own using motion capture hardware and software.
But even then when you create animations using mocap software it will almost always require tweeking to be of a decent quality.
For example arms may go through bodies or cross through the other arm, feet may go through the floor or be above the floor.
I don't think it will be such an easy task to still, not to get good quality animations anyway, but it has our interest to see what Gizmo has planned.
 
Look at this video, in particular around the 39 minute mark where it shows you how the butt watch thing can be done and how arms can be moved by command.
 

with pose editor u can do many stuff not only sex poses

Anyone remember the following post?
 
 So 20 to 30 minutes for Goose (an admittedly experienced designer) to create a new pose.  Or was he lying? I just don't see why it would be soooo damn impossible for a newbie to create a good-looking pose in a few hours .... using pre-rigged 3dx models, and a quality built-in pose editor / animator.  

Do you want it?
