Create stunning pose references in seconds. Just tap a control point and drag — no complicated joint rotations, no learning curve. Perfect for figure drawing, character design, illustration, comics, manga, animation, and storyboarding. From quick gesture studies to detailed anatomy work, Art Model gives you unlimited creative freedom. Pose realistic male and female 3D models, classic wooden mannequins, and shape them into any body type you can imagine. ◆ EFFORTLESS POSING Tap a hand, foot, or head and drag it exactly where you want it. Our advanced inverse kinematics system handles the joints automatically, so you can focus on the pose — not the mechanics. Includes preset full-body poses and hand poses to get you started fast. ◆ UNLIMITED BODY TYPES A full morphing system lets you transform any model: child to adult, skinny to muscular, fat, pregnant, or even fantastical creatures. Individual morphs fine-tune specific parts like arms, legs, chest, and more. ◆ EXPRESSIVE FACES Bring characters to life with facial expression morphs. Adjust happiness, anger, surprise, sadness and more to give your figures real personality. ◆ BUILD FULL SCENES Add unlimited models to a single scene and pose them together. Enrich your composition with props: chairs, tables, vehicles, weapons, trees, and geometric shapes. Props can be attached to your model's hands and follow movement naturally. ◆ CLOTHING & STYLING Mix and match outfits, hats, and helmets for both male and female models to design characters for any scenario — from fantasy heroes to everyday people. ◆ SPLIT VIEW EDITING View your model from two camera angles at the same time. Adjust poses with precision without constantly rotating the scene — a huge time-saver for complex compositions. ◆ REFERENCE IMAGES Import background images to stage your scenes in real or imagined environments. Ideal for matching perspectives, blocking compositions, or planning illustrations. ◆ ADVANCED LIGHTING Sculpt mood and form with flexible lighting controls — perfect for dramatic reference shots or anatomy studies.
