ZBrush Character Pose Management

POSE TOOLS FREE!
ZBrush Plugin for Character Artists

With ZBrush Pose Tools, designers have the freedom to effortlessly manage and refine multiple poses for the same character. Switching between poses is just a click away — the ultimate in convenience and flexibility!

GROWING POSE LIBRARY

ZBrush Layers to Poses

To make the most of ZBrush Pose Tools, start by importing existing poses from ZBrush layers. There is the option to import all layers or selectively import hidden layers. These converted layers are labeled with "ccPose_" to maintain synchronization between ZBrush layers and the pose library.

One-Click Posing

The process of updating subtools while adding or switching layers in ZBrush can be quite elaborate. On the other hand, Pose Tools offer a seamless solution by effortlessly transferring and managing poses. Moreover, it automatically refreshes subtools when necessary, streamlining the workflow.

EASILY ADD NEW POSES

Create new poses with just one click to enable layer recording for all subtools involved. This feature integrates ZBrush mask posing and modifications from the Transpose Master.

EDIT & REFINE POSES

Enhance each pose by adding muscle and wrinkle details. These changes will be recorded exclusively for the current pose, without spilling into other poses.

ZBRUSH POSE MANAGEMENT

Overall Subdivision

Freely traverse the subdivision levels of all subtools in ZBrush. Increase or decrease the subdivision levels or apply the highest or lowest subdivision level all at once.

Overall Detailing

Utilize Detail Layers to embellish characters. These layered effects can be applied to all poses managed by ZBrush Pose Tools, providing a versatile and efficient way to enhance the character's appearance.

CONTINUOUS WORKFLOW
Always in Sync

Serving as a macro to existing ZBrush features, Pose Tools seamlessly syncs up with ZBrush layers and their associated subtools.

Reload Poses

To keep editing poses after project switch or program close, designers can use the refresh pose feature to retrieve poses from layers previously marked with the "ccPose_" prefix.
