You can design an avatar pose using an existing parametric or scanned imported avatar.

Note

  • Designing or editing poses for Alvanon avatars is not supported.

  • Designing or editing poses for avatars without skeletons is not supported.

  • Poses which are not user generated cannot be edited or deleted. They can be renamed.

Designing a Pose

To design a pose:

  1. Load the avatar for which you want to design a pose into the 3D window:

    1. On the Resources tabs, click 3D.

    2. If not already open, click the Avatars tab. The available avatars are displayed.

    3. Double-click the avatar you want. The avatar is displayed in the 3D window.

  2. On the 3D window toolbar, click the current pose. The Poses pop-up pane is displayed.

  3. On the Poses pop-up pane, click the pose you want to use as your starting point. The avatar in the 3D window uses the clicked pose.

  4. On the Poses pop-up pane, click Add Pose. The avatar is displayed in the form of a skeleton with bones and selectable joints.

  5. Edit the pose as required:

    1. Click a joint to select it. The joint is highlighted in green, a gizmo is displayed on the joint, and details are displayed in the Edit Pose pane.

      The following image shows what happens when a joint is selected.

    2. Hover over a bone to highlight the bone and the parent joint - the joint to select if you want to move bone. Clicking the bone selects the parent joint.

      The following image shows an example of hovering over a bone and selecting a joint.

    3. Use the gizmo to move the selected joint. Alternatively, you may type in the appropriate X, Y, and Z numbers in the Rotate section of the Edit Pose pane.

      The following image shows the gizmo in action moving a joint.

    4. To clear your selection of a joint, press Escape.

    Note

    For information about making a symmetrical pose, refer to Symmetrical Poses.

  6. Once you have completed your edits of the pose, go to the Edit Pose pane (in the Context view) and type a name for the pose.

  7. Click Save. The pose is added to available poses for the avatar.
