the tool you always wish existed
As an artist looking custom lighting setups for portrait reference on the fly, Handy blew my mind, I use it every time I paint and draw.
Super easy and intuitive!
By far the best beginner 3D reference software I’ve used yet! The posing is quite easy to figure out and gives you a lot of range for what you can do. The lighting features are also really useful for figuring out planes and such!
Necessary tool for artists!!
This app is an absolute dream for referencing, especially for artist like me who like to do dynamic hand gestures and interesting lighting. The only minor negative i’ve had is that sometimes the controls for moving around the objects can be finicky, especially if i’m trying to place multiple objects in one scene. However I do still think that this is definitely one of the best free tools for artists on the app store!!

Wonderful app!
I was introduced this app by my partner and have used it for just about every drawing since then. I haven’t seen anything even come close to the level of customization this app has, definitely my all time favorite reference tool!
My only complaint would be with posing, I had an issue today manipulating a skull on top of the mannequin head where I couldn’t anchor the skull down to be center aligned. This is really a small issue in the grand scheme of things and it definitely wont revoke any points from my rating though!

Great App!
Posing is easy and intuitive. So handy!
Great App but…
It is a great app, if a bit clunky at times to go from one page to another. But the only real problem that I see with it, is the lack a diversity other than age, gender, and race. Now many apps allow you to make subtle adjustment to all the parts of the face, and that is a very useful feature. The hand portion of Handy has achieved that level of sophistication. Now what about the faces? Hair would also be nice. Most women I know have hair or a wig.

Great tool, just a couple of minor tweaks needed.
Probably the best hand posing tool on the market. Good selection of head busts and animal skulls as well. Would like to see a few additional skin colour options, and maybe both old and young hand models. The Foot model DLC is probably the only model that doesn’t look quite right, something about the rendering makes it look a lot more artificial compared to the Hand model. So, maybe a new rendering of the Foot is something to consider. Overall really great reference tool!

Excellent!!👍
Best reference app ever.
Please, please can you do one for the full figure as other apps are nowhere near as good as this one.

Valuable tool, could use some innovation
This is a worthwhile app but the controls are intuitive, but I do believe they could be fine tuned some more.
It would be nice if we could rotate the necks on the head models.

It’s almost perfect except…
I would give this app FIVE STARs if only all the head models can rotate and tilt around the neck. I was mildly disappointed when I saw the heads have no option for rigging. Because of that, their static pose lack personality compared to the hands and feet models. Give us artists some dynamic head angles to work with! Please consider it. If it’s to be a pay feature, I’ll buy it, because this app is so worth it!
