SetPose: Free 3D Pose Maker — Mannequin Drawing Poses

Are you an artist looking for accurate, adjustable 3D pose references ? SetPose is a free<br>online pose maker and digital mannequin designed to help you practice drawing<br>human poses and dynamic poses with ease. Whether you're a beginner or an<br>experienced artist, using a pose reference tool can dramatically improve your understanding of anatomy,<br>proportions, and movement.

Why use a 3D pose maker?

Drawing the human body from memory is challenging. Realistic figure drawing requires attention to<br>proportions and the way perspective and light changes the way we view a figure. Traditional wooden<br>mannequins offer limited pose options and detailed ones can be quite costly. SetPose offers a free and<br>highly customizable online drawing mannequin to meet all your reference needs.

SetPose isn't just a mannequin in online form as it offers a lot more customization in terms of the<br>models, but maybe even more importantly, the environment around the model.

After you have made your desired pose with the pose maker or picked one of the many preset poses, you can<br>start to set the scene according to your wishes. Change the background color and adjust the light<br>position to create a night setting, or change the camera FOV to create a more dynamic scene. After that,<br>you can also pick one of the floor props to add to the scene, creating even more interesting visuals to<br>work with.

How to use the SetPose pose maker

The SetPose scene always starts off with a basic model in the default pose. From there, in order to<br>create your first pose, you can either start editing or pick one of the many preset poses in the panel on the right side of the screen. If<br>you want to start with a different model such as the anime<br>model, you can change it by clicking the selector in the scene menu on the right side of the<br>screen.

Creating your own pose

To start making your first pose, use the camera to look around the model and simply drag one of the<br>limbs. At first, the "bend" control will be selected. This means that you can bend parts such as the<br>arms and the legs forwards and backwards. The second control button (at the left side of the screen),<br>"Tilt", will allow you to move the arms or legs to the side. Sometimes you'll also need to use the<br>"Rotate" control to rotate the arm at the shoulder or leg at the hip.

Using these controls, you...
