Draw what you imagine, with a reference you can shape. Pofi Create helps illustrators, comic artists and drawing enthusiasts build the 3D references their artwork needs. Start with a character, a pose or a ready-made scene. Arrange your subjects, find the camera angle and explore the light, so the picture in your head becomes easier to study and draw. Pose it. Frame it. Light it. Draw it. • FIND THE PIECES FOR YOUR NEXT DRAWING Build a scene with characters, animals, props and environments. Explore separate hands and feet, heads and art-study models, plus effects and alternate appearances. A growing collection of over 100,000 resources gives you starting points for solo poses, groups, interactions and hands holding props. Library expansions include 24 added model categories and 32 motion series. Supported models have built-in poses, expressions and appearance options; structural guides help you understand form. • SHAPE THE POSE YOU NEED Start with standing, sitting, running or action poses, then refine supported models. Around 80 preset hand poses help you study difficult fingers and grips without starting from scratch. Advanced controls offer up to 150 controllable joints on supported character rigs, detailed hand and toe adjustment, and over 100 facial parameters on selected characters. IK moves connected limbs from a target; FK turns individual joints. Body flexibility, joint limits and IK blending help with finer adjustments. Driver sliders change supported props and effects. Available controls vary by resource. • START WITH A COMPLETE SCENE Scene templates bring models, composition, cameras and lighting together, so you can study how the whole picture works. Static: open a ready-made composition with poses and light. Motion: play or pause existing animations to study body movement, camera changes and lighting. Annotated: use notes and dedicated views to understand structure and details. Interactive: tap to switch poses, scenes and existing animations. With Pro, adjust and save your own reference scenes for later drawings. • SEE THE ANGLE BEFORE YOU DRAW Explore standard, wide-angle and fisheye lenses to plan perspective and distortion. Choose a solid background, an HDR sky or your own image. Depth of field helps you preview foreground and background blur, making spatial relationships easier to study. • SEE HOW LIGHT SHAPES THE FORM Try studio lighting presets, use an HDR environment, or adjust three directional lights independently. Change direction, color and shadows for key, fill and rim lighting. Compare how different setups reveal a face, a pose or a prop before you paint the shadows. • BUILT FOR YOUR DRAWING WORKFLOW Use Pofi Create for illustration, manga, comics, figure drawing and storyboard planning. Existing motion scenes also help with animation studies; portrait poses, staging, clothing and accessories provide references for photography and fashion. A new 3D engine and streamlined controls support detailed observation. Cloud saving and sync keep saved work available on supported devices and platforms. The Pofi series has over 10 million combined installs across all platforms. Export JPG or transparent PNG snapshots to use alongside your drawing app. • RESOURCES AND FEATURES ARE SEPARATE Free to download, with some free resources. Buy individual resources with P-coins for permanent access; they remain available after Pro expires. Advanced controls, lighting and custom-scene saving require Pro. Ultra provides access to all resources without individual P-coin purchases. Check the purchase page for pricing, duration, included features and renewal terms. Ultra access differs from permanently purchasing each resource. • CONNECT WITH POFI X / Instagram: @PofiCreate Discord: https://discord.gg/q3VqR98Vkg Email: create@pofiart.com Terms of Use: https://create.pofiapp.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://create.pofiapp.com/privacy
