I like to think about this app as a natural evolution of the traditional drawing mannequin. As artistis around the world started supporting it and appreciating it, it eveolved beyond my best expectation in what it is now. Muliple mannequins, shuffling of parts, export of 3d models and much more. The screen space rotation method and others automatic features make your posing process fast and dynamic. Pose and view your reference just the way you need it and strengthen and improve your human figure drawing skills or export the 3d models for your 3d projects. Poseit was born as my personal tool to help me drawing the most challenging poses, during the lockdown I had to spend my vacations at home and I gave myself the challenge to polish it and publish it (yes it is my very first app). I hope it now can serve others as good as it served me. If you decide to unlock the pro version please be aware that, as solo indie developer, and being a pet project and not my main job, I cannot guarantee a proper support and further development of this app.
