ArtPose Pro

Things it needs: Move tools: like the bottom circle of the model in “pose mode!” By selecting the wrist or foot of the desired limb, one could control said limb almost entirely! Also for the hip as well! If one moves or rotates the hip, then the feet (and perhaps hands) shouldn’t move. This feature could be turned on and off as desired! Rotate tools: I tried the app “Easy Poser” and its rotate tools seem like something an iPod or iPad app should utilize! Simply dragging on the device for me seems a bit cumbersome and it would take a good minute to get my desired pose! These are my suggestions! Ever fiddled with “Poser” or any other 3D animation/posing software? That’s what I’m getting at!

I bought this app on my iPad first, because I needed an art pose app that not only lets me form the figures however I want, but also one that has a morph feature. Since I’m creating character concepts, and seeing as not all of my characters have the same physique, this was the only app I saw that has a decent morphing tool. Well, I got it on the iPad, and to be honest, it was kinda complicated. I couldn’t move the parts as well as I wanted to, and the controls were a bit weird. I eventually uninstalled it, and moved to something else. Well, a few weeks ago, I found this app on Steam. I went ahead and bought it to see if there were any differences, and here’s what I have to say. This app is way better to use on a computer than a tablet. I felt like I had more control over the figures, I could move each part better, and making poses was a sinch. Here’s one thing I’d suggest. I’d add the ability to move each finger on the hand. I think it’d make moving the hand a bit more natural, since the fingers don’t stay in one place all the time while the hand moves. All in all, this is a really good app, but I strongly recommend using this app on a computer. It’s much, much better. Trust me.

I love this app. It took a little bit of time to get used to how it works, but once you figure it out, you can get some very fluid poses. I feel like it’s only missing two things: 1. An extra joint at the hips. With the single joint in the back, characters can’t get quite as bendy as I’d like them sometimes. One extra joint in the hips would really help get exaggerated poses that still look fluid and natural. 2. The ability to import an image to the background. This way, you can set your character up to suit its environment, rather than the other way around. If I want my doll languidly slumped in a chair from a top-down angle, it can take countless repetitions of trial and error to get it right for the background I’ve already sketched out. Importing the image and posing the character on top of it would be hugely beneficial. With these two small things, these dolls would be absolutely perfect.

I expected to be able to shrink the models. Tried to have woman and child. Art Pose Pro did not work for that. We should be able to change model's height. We need a genderless child model, like toddler or at least less than 8 years old. Needs four or more models on screen for a family. Needs free simple props. Would pay for a posable dog/horse. Needs to export transparant PNG to iCloud or other apps. Thanks. I like the rest. As for that app mentioned in another review; "Make a Pose" is much harder to use, but allows 6 models at a time, includes a horse and extras like ball, sword, and add-on wings.

I am a professional artist and I use this app a lot. It would be great if the next update had some props in the hands like a cylinder, a sphere, a pencil, a fork, and a gun. New hair styles, eyebrows and skin color would be nice. Also if there were a way to export a pose with a transparent background as like a PNG would be awesome.
