Full description

Stop rotating bones one at a time.

Posing a character by hand means rotating dozens of bones one axis at a time, fixing the other side, and nudging a foot that slid through the floor. PoseFlow gives you a visual pose panel instead. Map your rig once, then click your way to a pose and turn a series of poses into a timed animation, without leaving the N-panel.

Map once. Click to pose. Build the animation.

🎯 Pose in seconds

• 65 illustrated presets for head, chest, hips, arms, legs and hands. See the pose before you click.
• Blend strength: apply a preset at 30%, 70% or 100%, and layer poses to get exactly the shape you want.
• One-click mirroring: pose one side and copy it to the other, with bone roll handled correctly.
• Smart crouch: the hips drop using your character's real leg lengths, and the feet stay where they are.
• Your own pose library: save favourite poses per character in the .blend.

🦶 Keep your character grounded

• Foot locks: move the hips anywhere and the feet stay planted.
• Weight shift & stance width for natural, balanced standing poses.
• Sit, kneel and lunge from a seat or floor marker.
• Reach & Grab: send a hand to the 3D cursor, or attach it to a prop and it follows wherever the prop moves.

🎬 Block animation fast

1. Pose → Capture
2. Pose → Capture
3. Pick Stepped, Linear or Smooth → Build Animation

Your key poses are on the timeline, ready to refine in the Graph Editor. Contact targets are captured too, so planted feet stay planted between poses.

🛡️ Safe for your files

• Every action is undoable.
• Animation is written to a private copy of your Action. Existing keys and shared Actions are never overwritten.
• PoseFlow checks your rig before changing anything, and tells you in plain language if a control can't be driven.
• Fully offline: no accounts, internet access, telemetry or extra installs.

Who it's for

• Animators who want to rough out key poses quickly and spend their time polishing.
• Game developers posing characters for concept shots, thumbnails or animation blockouts.
• Illustrators and 3D artists who need a character posed for a render without learning to animate.
• Beginners who find rigs intimidating: click a preset and adjust from there.

✅ Compatibility

• Blender 4.5 LTS and newer (release-tested on Blender 5.2 LTS)
• Humanoid rigs with FK controls, with auto-suggested mapping for standard, Mixamo and Rigify-style bone names
• Rigify / Auto-Rig Pro: map the FK controls with limbs switched to FK
• Built-in presets assume a T-pose rest skeleton facing −Y. A-pose characters work with saved custom poses.

Not sure about your rig? Run Suggest Mapping → Check from the demo workflow. Check tells you straight away whether every control can be driven, before any change is made to your character.
