So in no particular order, we present our guide to the best 3D pose reference software available for artists today.ĭaz Studio came into being in the year 2000, as a direct competitor to Smithmicro’s Poser software but with one very important difference, Daz Studio is available as a totally FREE download. The Graphic Assembly has sourced some of the best pose reference software available today, some paid and some free depending on how far you want to take your anatomy drawing skills. In years gone by this type of 3D software was expensive and very difficult to master for those of us who aren’t computer scientists or who are just technologically challenged, thankfully 3D pose software has evolved and is available to artists of any skill level, simple to use and in some cases free for personal use.
However, thanks to advances in computer technology it is now possible to have a whole host of realistic-looking models posing in your very own virtual studio, in any position you require. Many artists use live models, photographs or the aforementioned wooden doll to perfect poses and get an idea of perspective and accurate anatomy. If you have ever attended a figure drawing class you will have probably come across the timeless, wooden artists mannequin, a rather crude contraption that basically resembled the human figure and with its articulated joints allowed the artist to manipulate the model into a variety of poses, which would then act as the basis of an initial sketch or painting.ĭrawing the human form in different poses is a hard skill to master and any tool that can help the artist achieve this goal is very welcome indeed, even something as unsophisticated as the humble wooden mannequin.
