The 'hold object' pose would be your best starting point (assuming you have the full version of Muvizu where you can attach objects to their hands). Failing that, use 2d screengrabs of the hands/book to fake it, or use dummy arms.

Hi,

You could also try Drums > Pause.

The hold object pose is under Happy > Pose > Object.

The dummy arms are just arm models I made to fake stuff like you're talking about, FL. I uploaded them to my onedrive account, and you can download them here : https://1drv.ms/u/s!ALlUfF5OI9dJgS0

The mobile phone set are here : https://1drv.ms/u/s!ALlUfF5OI9dJgTM

You'll have to make your own skins for the arms to match the character - I've never made a tutorial for how to do that since I assume everyone knows how to use photoshop by now... :) One day I'll get round to it, but in the meantime experiment with the arms. Just import them like any other fbx object or attachment.

@ FullyLoaded You need to download the Sketchup ASE exporter from here : http://www.anizu.uk/downloads

@ Doby No, you cannot pause an animation, but the 'object' one is a pose so the character will hold it indefinitely.
