Easy Pose AE is a human body pose app for people who draw or is learning to draw. Have you ever wanted a personalized model to show various poses while drawing animation, illustration or sketching? Easy Pose AE was developed for these people. Various angles of different poses can be inspected. Now you do not have to draw with a wooden joint doll or figure as a model. Even yoga or exercise poses can be checked from various angles. 1. Sensitive Operation – Easy Pose AE allows control over the main joints in an amazingly smooth manner. It provides multiple functions previously unavailable in other pose apps such as a highlight on movable parts, initialization of joints and manipulation state, and finding a symmetrical pose with the mirroring function. Experience controls that are more convenient than with a mouse. 2. Comic Style Models – Previous pose apps had many realistic eight-head ratio men and women, making it unsuitable for animation, webtoon or game illustrations. Easy Pose AE is prepared with models with various body types. 3. Multi-Model Control – A scene can be made with a made with a maximum of 10 people at once! It is now possible to make a scene of a soccer player avoiding a tackle or a couple holding hands and dancing. 4. Thousands of poses that have already been completed. Poses that are used often are already made. 5. Other Characteristics - Sensitive light expression using direct and backlight settings - Able to observe various poses at various angles - Realistic shadows such as shadows of models being cast over other models - Able to change the angle of view (possible to use an exaggerated vanishing point such as a panorama) - Provides a wire mode that allows lines drawn over models - Able to download models without the background in a PNG clear background. - Automatic saving, making it safe whenever there is a device error. - Able to easily control hand movements. 6. Differences from the existing version of Easy Pose. - You can use the PRO version and all DLC. - In addition to humanoid models, horses, cars, musical instruments, Eastern and Western weapons, dragons, guns, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. are provided. - It does not link with existing Easy Pose purchase data. ** Since the data is not saved to server, when you delete an app, the saved data is also deleted.
