STEP BY STEP BUILD A SCENE WITH POSEIT
NOW ADD WEREWOLVES
The great thing about this posing tool is that the developer has given you a wide range of props to add to your scene including guns, a bow, hats, capes, an axe and even a horse! The horse is partially rigged and it has a set of pre-made poses built in so you can make really amazing horse-riding scenes. Don’t forget to add your werewolf!
01 CHOOSE YOUR MODEL
Once you have opened Poseit there is a tool panel on the left. Click the little person icon and you will find a range of models to choose from. Click on the one you want and it is loaded into the scene. Now click on the character’s hips and you can use your fingers and pinch gestures to move them around. Moving on the screen with one finger rotates.
02 ADD MORE PEOPLE
It is important to start with the hips, as that is the root bone of the whole model. Position that in the correct place and orientation, and then begin to work up or down the body and limbs. If you want a standing character and you want them to interact with the floor, hit the little breadcrumbs icon (top right) and turn on sticky feet. As you move nearer the ground, now the feet will stop and react. (This won’t matter if you are doing a flying or jumping figure.)
03 BUILD UP YOUR SCENE
Do the same process as Step 01 and bring in a new character that suits your scene. Don’t forget you can scale them up so huge robots, giants and gods are all easy enough to do! As you are building your scene, you can use the icon on the left panel to adjust the lighting and shadows and also the field of view to get the right camera angle. This is great for close-ups, bird’s-eye views or aerial shots depending on the camera settings.
04 THIS IS HANDY!
By now you will have an understanding of the basics of Poseit, and it is not a complex tool to learn. Get familiar with rotating and dragging the body parts around. You can also use a wide range of pre-made hand poses. Click on a hand and a slider appears at the bottom of the screen. Slide it left and right and the hand will change pose based on your selection.
