Magic Poser - Art Pose Tool Reviews

by Gator Supreme

I hate leaving negative reviews, but I’m peeved. I’ve been using MagicPoser for a year now, and I’ve loved every bit of it! Sure some joints were a little buggy, and maybe the asset store was a little clunky, but these and a lot of other small things got patched over time - all in all, a super useful and well maintained app!
However!
Many of the main features I was MOST DEFINITELY not alone in finding crucial to the art process, features that were not long ago COMPLETELY free, and not even locked behind a login, are now behind a paywall. The thing is, I don’t mind paying for apps. I don’t mind subscription based pay models for premium access and additional features, within reason. What I DO mind is having things I’ve come to rely on (adding two actors to a scene, being able to pose more than ONE gender and body type, etc) being taken back and locked behind the whole “we need to pay our devs” thing. If you’re really hurting for profit, that’s what adding new content and pay tiers is for; and maybe controversially (but STILL better than what is being pulled here), upping existing prices, going from a one time to a sub model, moving already paid content behind a higher pay tier, just to name a few common monetization approaches. I absolutely understand the desire to milk an app’s popularity in a niche market to heck and back, but I can very confidently say this WAS NOT the way to do it.

Like many others in these recent reviews, I too have used MagicPoser for my many artist endeavors. MagicPoser used to be free, and you had the option to buy some more assets. However, the base app was more than enough for everything you needed. You could add multiple models, they had a pretty great selection of both male and female characters of which you could use for free. Many people that come into MagicPoser without having used it in the past will not know just how good MagicPoser used to be. I got so excited when I kept getting emails from this company claiming that their best update was coming, that it would make everything so much better. I believed it. You see, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to move up as a company. But don’t take EVERYTHING away from loyal app users in an “update” that claims to make everything better. You could have so easily left everything that was free, and then charge a premium for additional items. I will no longer be using MagicPoser, and I hope many other users leave them too, so that they see how much they screwed it up. If you want to take notes from a great 3d company, go take a look at DAZ3D. They give their users so much for free, anything else you can buy, but it doesn’t limit you or take anything away from the best experience.

You offer a free app with great features, then update MagicPoser , call it an improvement that will benefit all your users, then lock key functions behind a paywall? I used to be able to add multiple models to a scene, now that very basic feature is locked behind a paywall. A little warning about that before I updated would have been nice. Or you know, not doing that at all. I understand devs gotta get paid, but you can’t go around removing features people relied on and expect people to accept that.

EDIT: Are you kidding? Did you even read my review? I made one very specific complaint: a formerly free feature, the ability to upload more than one human model to the same scene, is now locked behind a paywall.

In your response, you claim “We did not remove any free features.” Yes only 2 sentences later, you say “The only thing we changed is we placed unlimited models with our new Pro version.” Um, hello? That is EXACTLY the thing I complained about. THAT IS REMOVING A FREE FEATURE. I’m not “confused,” as you like to tell people here, I know exactly what I’m mad about, and your response to this has been nothing short of insulting. Give us back the features you took, or at least stop pretending you didn’t do it.

Recently like many, I have been slowly recovering from the disaster the past few years have been. Having used MagicPoser for a long time on my old device I thought it would be great to purchase all the assets for my new device….. but then the pay structure changed. I understand that the developers must survive, however there should be a way to purchase flat out all the assets and 3D exporting feature without a constant subscription. I know many fellow colleagues in my office that think this same way. They will purchase apps and features for $25-$50 one time fee, but will never think about a constant subscription, even to something $3-$5 a month. The old coin pay structure was messy, however permanently owning features of a program is the most important thing for me when looking at apps.

I would spend more money on MagicPoser, or even consider the subscription if the structure was different. The subscription should give you the full app, 100% of all current, and FUTURE features. Maybe even a dedicated support line. However you should be able to purchase the current “master” features at a higher one time price. This would give someone who cannot spend much the ability to access all features through the monthly plan. And give business professionals the ability to outright purchase for a higher one time price the current features.

Please change this! Thank you.

I’ve been using this for almost a year—it was reliable, and with time, free of charge for props with those generous daily check ins. It has so many more props than almost all other posing apps, decent models, tools, and I’ve used it to reference 50+ drawings and sketches over time. And then, the update. I was thrilled seeing my friends post about the new body morphing function along with far greater detail lovingly put into the models. I raced over to my tablet to update it, opened it, only to find myself locked out of certain poses, props, and more. And the only solution? Money. Not 99 cents for a hundred coins, not check in every couple days for wombat coins, but straight cash. And it gave me the Pro version because I’d already spent some on it, so that means those without Pro or Master are locked out of even more stuff!

And, less concerning, but the models still definitely have issues. With the more muscular Arnold one, the Latissimus Doris muscle—the one just beneath the armpit—blows widely out of proportion when you raise the arms. The folds of the bodies are strange and glitchy, and while I do appreciate the new drag-to-move feature, it constantly either barely senses the touch or thinks my finger moved 7 miles away. The rotating function(s) are funky, too.

by Ruffdawg34

So as far as the features of MagicPoser and the way it works it’s great, but MagicPoser pales in comparison to other free resources one could use on a computer. The joints and selection of objects seems very “grabby”. For example I will try to rotate the camera and then move my entire model out of frame despite me having taped on a portion of the screen that is just the background. This is just personal preference but the rotation of the joints should be on a number scale. It won’t look as clean but it provides more precise movement and allows for users to easily understand which way something is moving. It could be put in a separate menu (similar to the scale) so that it’s there for those who want it. The hip moves erratically causing any slight variation done without the rotate feature to mangle the lower back. The movement along an axis single is very difficult and will often take multiple times to get to the desired position as it moves in was you wouldn’t expect. For example if you have your camera on a side profile view then tried to move a joint along the X axis it would often move some on the Z axis as well.

If it wasn’t for the multiple glitches in MagicPoser , I would give it a full five stars. This is by far the best posing app on ios. A variety of models and props to choose from. Posing them is very easy and intuitive. You can download others scenes and save them, you can save your own scenes and poses. You can bring any saved scene into another and combine them. You can bring single character scenes to spice up a crowd in the background. The possibilities are limitless. You can even change lighting! Unfortunately, sometimes things refuse to load such as the online user pose downloads, in app model store, and even your own poses. And this can also affect bringing other poses into your scene. Sometimes it even freezes up when it cannot load another scene within a scene. Thus, forcing you to restart MagicPoser . There is no way to fix this, even restarting your iPad doesn’t fix the problem. This may hinder your workflow severely, and can take precious time away from artwork, especially if you’re on a tight deadline of some sort. It’s not a perfect app, but when it wants to work, it’s an absolute Godsend.

by Lilly Moks

Don’t get me wrong, i love MagicPoser, one of the best ones i’ve been able to find, but this new update has been disappointing. As someone who mainly draws women seeing that you have to pay $10 just to have access to female models was quite a shock, having at least one male and one female model for free should be the bare minimum. One of the amazing things about MagicPoser is how affordable it is compared to others (it still is cheap but compared to the original price its kind of a shock) and how you got so many models for free, and now you have to pay just to have the female version of one model. I understand the need for apps to make money, and i’d be ok if they switched to only one type of model, but it feels pretty ridiculous that you have to pay just to have a female model. If i didn’t already have MagicPoser from before i probably wouldn’t get it, because i’m not in a very good financial situation and can’t afford to spend $10 on an app. It’s still a good app overall, and it has really helped me in the past year or two since i’ve had it, but i am very disappointed with this new update.

by Matbe This Nickname Isnt Taken

I really like MagicPoser for references, and it definitely *could* save time instead of taking pictures, but honestly without a female model, i might as well just take my own reference pictures anyway. The lack of a free female model might scare me away from MagicPoser mainly because that’s the reason I wanted to download it. I saw in another reply you said that it would scare people from buying the pro version, but lots of people like me don’t have the money to afford a subscription, and it’s very inconvenient. I think if you JUST added the female model to the free version and nothing else that’s pro, you’ll have a lot less complaints, but you will still have lots of people buying pro for the other useful features. Many artists like me like to draw less muscular, more feminine figures, and it’s very much a hassle to manually subtract the muscle mass from your male figure. In the end, I think you’d have more people using MagicPoser , which is more potential customers in the future, if you made the female model free to use. I think it would be a really beneficial investment.

by IdkijustGuest

Like I’ve said I’ve been using MagicPoser for a very long time and I’ve wasted a lot of money on it i’ve always like MagicPoser ever since I got it but I am little disappointed in the update although I love it and I’m proud to see the improvement, but I am upset at how much money I’ve wasted. And i’m disappointed how it offers a boy but not a girl and there’s not really much you can do, you can’t add more characters you’re just stuck with one, it’s kind of like forcing you to buy The the master. I don’t like the price on the one day thing now if it was a week I would understand but a day that’s what I don’t understand now when it comes to the master that’s a very reasonable price for every month I just don’t like the day one I just don’t understand why it’s like that. I’m very happy to see the improvement but just a little disappointed with the update I prefer the old one much better than new one, at least than you had more to choose from when it comes to characters and you weren’t force to have just one character. Overall I really really really love MagicPoser and I hope you can improve in some areas that need improvement thank you for listening!!!

I just wish they would maybe consider lowering the subscription cost. It costs almost as much as Photoshop or Netflix per month, which I and a lot of other artists can’t afford. I liked the one-time purchase but I hope that they will add more models to it in the future because it doesn’t feel exactly worth it for +3 models. I was mad at first but I understand why they would put up a paywall now because it’s expensive to develop and you have to make money somehow. I just hope that they’ll consider lowering the subscription cost. If you’re reading this thank you. Aside from that the new update looks good. It’s satisfying to look at and runs smoothly. I love the new icon/logo and I’m beyond excited to see further development. More feedback regarding the models: The stylized models could use more definition especially in the torso and the realistic male models need bigger arms to fit their bodies more, I feel like they’re too skinny. Also the stylized male model(and maybe female) does this weird thing where the ribcage juts out and it looks kinda funky. You also can’t move the knees up to the chest.

by Xladedax

Update: I was impressed with how much you could do on MagicPoser for free. And if the one time payment was only $10, I was excited and paid for it. Why not? However I was disappointed in what I got for just the pro. I had really wanted the anime models more than anything but seeing that I didn’t end up getting more than just one, that’s going to loose a star for me. I might suggest implementing packs for certain models and props, backgrounds etc. Like how the Maxis handles do their business practice with expansions. Or to not be afraid to make the pro a little more pricey (say $35 for half of the gallery, $75 for the full gallery is give an example.)

I wouldn’t mind paying more than $10 if it meant I got more than just a few props and a model. (Side note, I did not buy props or any models before the new payment system)

Another thing, I don’t understand is why downloading from the community should be behind the masters paywall?

by Detective JJthe Cat

I love using MagicPoser and it’s super easy to use our use it because I’m kind of not the best at drawing bodies with good proportions so it’s really easy to do it with this I really appreciate how you can have so many models and shapes what for free and yeah it’s something that I really like about MagicPoser and also some thing that is probably my favorite thing is that you can get poses from other people if you can’t make it yourself which I find really helpful since I’m not really the best at moving them sometimes and I usually do simpler ones but when I do harder ones I can find them on the community tab and I kind of really like that you can export images because you know that’s how are usually draw and I can trace over the bodies. When I making characters. Now one suggestion would that be you can get something from somebody else’s seen even if it cost one that coins but you can’t edit it that would be kind of helpful but other than that there’s not really a problem I would say it’s a great app it’s easy to use and I love it would definitely suggest you get

I really love MagicPoser, it’s helped me with so much of my art. I was even able to practice perspective! While I was looking through MagicPoser at first I saw that you didn’t have any trees other than tree branches and a Christmas tree. I hope sometime soon you add multiple trees, and maybe rig them so we can pose them how we like. I also saw that you only had one light source and I work on drawings that has more than one light source. It would be really cool if you added a feature to where you can add more than one light source. I also see that you don’t have any animals. It would be really useful to have a wide range of animals from house pets to exotic animals like tigers and snakes. I would also like to see in future updates a wide range of body types like if I want to make drawing with people who are skinnier or fatter. It’s kinda hard to do so when you only have one size. So for example, one character can be tall and lean while another can be short and a bit overweight.

Anyway I really do love MagicPoser , I just wish it had more features! Would I say it’s the best app for drawing? Why yes, and I hope you can make it even better!

by Crystal Drakon

I love MagicPoser as a free utility for my art and it has helped me grow so much as an artist. As much as I love how many things are offered in MagicPoser , I would love to see a few more features! My ideas are models with different weights rather than ones with perfect physiques. I find it difficult to portray skinnier or fatter characters going off of the provided models. Adjustable bust size would also be useful for female characters with flatter chests (I find the standard female body’s chest to get in the way of the arms in certain perspective shots). I also think it would be cool if there was a simple wire skeleton model, which could be more useful for stylized art. I would also love to see some animal models, especially more complex looking animals like horses, which are a pain to draw. Another thing that would be cool is player made models available for downloading, like props and models. I’m not sure how that could be accomplished, but I know that MagicPoser has such a strong user base that it might be a possibility. Overall, I really love MagicPoser and I can’t wait to see what comes in future updates! 💖

by BlackBirchOwl

Y’all 1 starrers need to learn to read and understand MagicPoser is programmed for ART BASED designs. This is NOT a game, this is not meant to be a time waster. This is meant to be an easy to use, fully functional art poser program for artist of all kinds. I understand the monthly subscription cost (15$) can be daunting for most but a ONE TIME FEE OF $9.99, you can get loads of options for ideas, styles and references. Procreate is $9.99, a decent meal at McDonalds is about $9.99, 2 gallons of gas is 10 bucks now. So you’re gonna sit here, whining, moaning, and complaining that a team that spent months developing this program to service the artists that need it and will use it for its ACTUAL purpose, are greedy, selfish, and undeserving? Uneffingbelievable. Need I remind you what devices y’all are using MagicPoser on? Yeah, I’m sure those cost more than 10 bucks. Think before you lash out, you entitled babies.

I hope for more updates and add-ons in the future like more body/ethnic types, facial expressions and even animals and/or anthropomorphic poses in the future.

by BaileyMottwr

I originally downloaded this about a year ago, but I quickly deleted it finding out it was very difficult to use and operate. I download it again today because I was just looking for an alternative to searching up pictures online. I use MagicPoser for writing purposes. Mainly to play out little scenes in my head, and seeing if they make sense. And, MagicPoser seems a lot easier than it was about a year ago. But I do have a complaint. I think it’s kind of unnecessary to have the whole coin system thing because if you’re just trying to imagine a scene in which you use a prop (let’s take a bed for example), you can’t do that without paying. Of course I understand you need to make money somehow but I believe there should be some type of way to earn coins without purchasing something. Other than that everything in MagicPoser is really easy to operate and is very good for creating drawing/writing references. Keep doing what you do <33

by Canya'llhelpoutalilpls

Y’all messed up the game because why did y’all make all this “pro” and “master” stuff???? Look, I know every game developer wants to make money as much as the next one does but this right here is not the way. If your an old user don’t come back because now they are making you pay for subscriptions to use models and stuff like that. Y’all got me really messed up cause why I need to pay to duplicate a model…. 💀

In the old app version it had coins that were called “wombat coins” If you logged in each day it would give you five coins and if you came for 7 days in a row those coins would go up by 5, therefore you would ten coins if you logged in each day. If skipped a day you lost your streak and would start off with 5 again. With those coins you could buy models probs hair and even clothes for them. Also if you signed up for the first time in the old app version it gave you 600 or 500 coins to start off with.

Y’all don’t download MagicPoser because this is just one of those subscription apps and I don’t want no developer response talking about some “Well you could try our 1 week free trial! 😁” ( I gave it 5 stars so the developer could see this.) Y’all stay safe tho.

by Asholohan

This has become my go-to app for poses and scenes. It’s so much more convenient than googling in hopes of finding a ref photo that was just right. It’s well worth upgrading to Pro. The ability to lock individual figures and objects, scale things in multiple axies, and to undo movements by joints has made it even more useful! They added preset poses in a recent update, too, which make a great starting point when you want to work from something different than the basic T pose.

Right now you can duplicate objects, but you can’t group them, so building out large scenes with geometric shapes is a little tedious, but doable. Developers update MagicPoser frequently, so it gets better each time. There are multiple models to pick from now, so you can set up interactions between figures of different body types (basic human, anime, chibi). They added an auto-save feature in some of the latest updates, so you no longer lose a pose if you close MagicPoser or go back to your saved pose screen, too.

by Skyler1090

Best app I’ve ever used for modeling purposes or quick references on body proportions. The developers are consistently putting out new and useful features. The new skin tones are a nice touch, along with the ambient lighting effects. The amount of different sized figures is of great variety. And of course, it’s super simple to use. Click and Drag. Fine tuning the fingers and joints is smooth. MagicPoser used to have a stability issue for me, but it’s been cleared up through the updates, and I’m so glad the developers have continued to improve MagicPoser.
I mostly work in Fine Art, but lately, I’ve taken up manga style illustrations and other digital projects. I am very new to working digitally, but this has been an irreplaceable part of my routine now in drawing chibis and character sketches in general. It’s also spilled into my Traditional painting routine with the lighting system for when I need a general reference on a body part. It won’t replace a real model for a Fine Artist, but it will replace that posing doll.

by Sushi Dragon Tamer

MagicPoser has helped so much when it comes to my traditional art. The fact that the models are realistic AND easily pose-able are a massive plus. Controls are intuitive and the UI is minimalistic, meaning you can focus on posing, and not going through menus every five seconds.

However, one thing I don’t like about MagicPoser is that the models cannot have their muscularity adjusted. Another thing I wish they had in MagicPoser was a feature called construction mode, which would turn the model into their most basic shapes, which would simplify constructing posing from unfamiliar angles.

Other than that, this is really enjoyable to use, and highly recommend it for artists of all skill levels, especially for beginners.

by UniversityChick

My only problem with MagicPoser is that you can’t really bind props together or lock a certain part of the pose in place. Like... I can’t lock the body and just manipulate the arm. Otherwise, I’d love if we could group things together and move them as a unit. Still such a great app!

Edit: I think the child’s model is a step in the right direction to be sure, but there are a few suggestions I had! First: the adding of a more realistic model for a child like the two models of a man and a woman would be very helpful, especially for someone who draws in that style like myself!

I’d love more hair models but I would also like it if you would add a wheelchair model or two? I myself am in a wheelchair and it’s very hard to figure out how to draw those from various angles to make them make sense.

by Emile Nitrate

Dev is working hard to make MagicPoser excellent, it’s not perfect but it’s well worth the price and probably the easiest one to pose from scratch. If you’re like me you have a few of these poser apps and use whichever one suits your current need. If there’s something in another app’s library that’s close to what I want, I use it but if I have to start fresh, this is my go to 3D pose app. I only use the realistic male and female models.

Update: Dev has commented that sportswear default will be addressed. My rating updated to 5 stars for good developer response.

2nd Update: I see that hair has been added as an option. It’s not that versatile and is really only a women’s hairstyle selection but it’s not bad for what it is. I’m not going to change my 5 star rating, the developer is definitely trying to improve MagicPoser and you do get your money’s worth.

3rd Update: MagicPoser isn’t perfect BUT I will say that although I have a number of 3D pose apps I use, this is the easiest and most intuitive one for actually posing from scratch. That’s huge. I wish the sportswear would stay off and there were body type options as well as more hair choices, but the dev does respond to feedback so I’m sticking with 5 stars.

4th Update: The new color thing is fun but I really wish I could toggle that annoying sportswear thing to STAY OFF. My major peeve, besides that it’s my go-to posing app because it’s easy to control.

by Fhjdxbkjff

I would usually use this as a reference for drawing but the only problem I would have for it was the lack of models, clothing and props. However, after seeing the most recent update I can see that the developer is working very hard on the quality of MagicPoser ! I really like the new system that uses in game currency as well as the new models and props added. My only suggestion would be a larger variety of clothes and hair and maybe eye color. Besides that, very impressed with the new update.

Edit: Thank you for responding! I think there should be at least some basic clothing such as casual outfits and pajamas. I would also like a larger variety of simple hairstyles. I read some other responses where you are planning to add a grouping feature where you can combine shapes with other shapes. I also heard you may add a feature where you can bend and curve shapes. I think those features would be great!

by Midnight_Arrow

Just as the title says, I’ve posted a review before, and yes- some of what I’ve wanted to see has been added. Thanks for the toe bend option!
However, I’d like to see multiple lighting options. Different sources, colour options as well as an option for more than one source.
Also, adding wings, horns, tails, etc to the models would be really helpful because have you tried drawing horns in perspective? That’s HARD af.
Is there a way to gain wombat coins without buying them? I’m not sure there is, so if I’m right, maybe watching an ad (because these lovely people need to make money somehow) for coins would allow us broke artists to unlock more models to use.
I love MagicPoser and the fact that it’s free is absolutely amazing. The developers are nice and (often) reply to comments, so I really hope they see this. Keep being amazing and improving MagicPoser . <3

by Cassideoos

For me, it's not very easy to find the poses that I imagine or really think about. And sometimes just staring at a photo isn't exactly enough when sketching, so it's especially satisfying for me now that I can look at the models from other angles. 👌 what I like the most about the models is that I can change the character heights, considering that not everyone is 6 feet tall.

However, I do have one complaint.
The hand posing is very wonky. Even if I try to ball a hand into a fist, it looks very unnatural. Also, would it be possible to add more models of different body shapes? I hope I don't sound too picky, it's not like I'm unable to use my imagination at all, but I feel that it would make things a wee bit easier for other artists who use this. ^^

by Fuzzepixelss

This is an INCREDIBLE app! It makes posing so easy—I love how you can save all your different scenes and share them! My favourite part is probably the shapes; I’ve seen many people upload beautiful creations in posecloud using them. It really leaves a lot of room for creativity! I have absolutely no complaints about MagicPoser, it is stunning and definitely useful.

I can’t wait to see what features are added next! :)

Edit: I thought up a suggestion as I was making something! I think being able to bend or twist certain geometric shapes (or have a shape that’s already bent) would be pretty cool. For example: if you were trying to make a curved lamppost, you wouldn’t need to start stacking up a bunch of different rods to create the shape you want, you could just bend the rod at a certain point.

by Insomniathlete

I’ve doodled all my life but have only just recently started learning basic skills of drawing bodies, faces, and using shading, point of view, etc. I was using one of those 1-foot wooden movable body models but found it lacking. MagicPoser was just what I needed. I like it so much I offer unsolicited advice to strangers next to me at art supply stores, telling them they need this!

From MagicPoser I:
-Learn how flexing or rotating joints changes posture. I like that other body parts move as they would in reality (though you can contort the models in unnatural ways, too).
-See how light (which is movable) casts shadows
-create scenes with more than one person
-use props but also use basic shapes if a particular prop isn’t available, changing its size to mimic a specific object. I even created a “baby” since it wasn’t available. I used two spheres, making one as small as a baby’s head, and other into an oval for the baby’s body.

MagicPoser doesn’t work for details like faces and hands/fingers (though you can move the joints, which is awesome). So I use MagicPoser for basic outline and other apps for fine details. I also wish it had realistic children and infants, and more props.

by IronGrunty

Easy to use, easy to share from, and overall well designed. The functionality is there, there are enough basic options for free, and the ones you get for the small cost of premium are worth it; in my opinion.

The interface is both functional and elegant, and while there is a learning curve for how joints will react to being moved, it took me only 30 minutes of messing around to be what I would call competent at achieving the poses I’m aiming for.

Using a touch screen, there were inevitably times when I flung the model across the screen while trying to adjust the camera angle, however the “Undo” tool has saved my hide and my progress more times than I can count. Honestly, MagicPoser does exactly what it needs to without complication.

by Desweet12

I was trying to improve my drawing skills with posing, at first I searched up google posing references, which is hard to get specific, then I considered buying the little mannekin, but my problem with them is that they don’t look like humans, but then, I heard of the “Body chan” and “Body kun” figures, that looked amazing, but were really expensive, so I searched up some programs to simulate the same experience, but all of them looked too complex when I just wanted to pose, but then i found the perfect program, and it was just for Windows, then I stumbled to MagicPoser.
After watching some videos, decided that I wanted to try it, and it was pretty great, it was easy to use and the models are great!
My only gripe with MagicPoser is the lack of items, thats it.

by CyborgWolfGirl

Okay, dude. Straight up. I will forever use this. It's helped change my art style for the better and bettered my anatomy a lot since I started using it. I can't thank the people who made this enough. It seriously is the only thing I use anymore, and I use it pretty much for every drawing I do that has to do with humans. I really love MagicPoser, like, a lot. It's probably the most amazing thing to come out of MagicPoser Store IMO. I almost don't wanna complain about anything, I just wish the posecloud got updated daily again like it used to. I got really excited to see the new poses that could inspire me at the start of the day, but now it takes days for things to be added. I'm so pose hungry just end me. I love seeing what people make.

by Teku The Fox

So, this is one of the better posing apps I’ve found. It’s very easy to use, and you can move pretty much any part of the body, all the way down to each finger segment. I do, however, have one suggestion. I use MagicPoser to sketch various characters for a book/comic series I’m doing, and, as we all know, not everyone has the same physique. I love how you can change the height, but I would love it if we had a slider where we could adjust the model’s build. Make him skinny, fat, muscular, average, etc. to add more variety to the models and scenes. I’d love to hear from the developer about this suggestion, as I think it would serve as an excellent addition to the sliders and variations in MagicPoser. :)

Best app I’ve ever used for modeling purposes or quick references on body proportions. The developers are consistently putting out new and useful features. The new skin tones are a nice touch, along with the ambient lighting effects. The amount of different sized figures is of great variety. And of course, it’s super simple to use. Click and Drag. Fine tuning the fingers and joints is smooth. MagicPoser used to have a stability issue for me, but it’s been cleared up through the updates, and I’m so glad the developers have continued to improve MagicPoser.
I mostly work in Fine Art, but lately, I’ve taken up manga style illustrations and other digital projects. I am very new to working digitally, but this has been an irreplaceable part of my routine now in drawing chibis and character sketches in general. It’s also spilled into my Traditional painting routine with the lighting system for when I need a general reference on a body part. It won’t replace a real model for a Fine Artist, but it will replace that posing doll.
