The Magic Poser Alternative: 7 Reasons Artists Are Switching to PoseMyArt
Looking for an alternative to Magic Poser? You’re not alone, this article will go over 7 reasons why artists are switching to PoseMyArt.
In my experience, 3D model posers have become an invaluable resource for artists to save time by providing the exact pose reference they are looking for instead of spending a lot of time scouring the web for the exact pose reference for their drawing.
With this in mind, I’ve created PoseMyArt to provide a better and faster workflow than other posers that are available in the market.
Before we get to it, the reason PoseMyArt is the best model poser in the market today is that we are actively listening to feedback from artists all the time, so if you have any feedback please contact us.
Let’s get to it, 7 reasons why artists are switching from Magic Poser to PoseMyArt.
1. The Amazing Premade Scenes Library
Our premade scenes library of over 4800+ scenes is a huge time saver for artists. The library saves time for artists in two ways:
- Inspiration - the library provides endless inspiration, so if you’re not sure what exactly you’re looking for, this is the place to go to.
- Less Manual Posing time - Posing takes time and a lot of times you’re not sure if the poses are natural or not, so a premade scene made by a professional can save you a lot of time.
The library is available in the app, with a search bar to find whatever you’re looking for. The pose reference library is also available at the site, but in my opinion it’s much more comfortable to use it in the app.
Whether you’re using it from the app or from the site, you can open each scene from the library inside PoseMyArt to see the scene in different angles, adjust the light and edit the scene to your liking - making it such an invaluable resource for artists.
The premade scenes library is also used as the base for our quick poses tool, where you can practice drawing the pose gesture (line of action), and again, open the scene in PoseMyArt to edit and play with. Mastering drawing poses can help a lot with your figure drawing and with your character creation.
There is no other model poser in the market with a library this huge and as comfortable to use as of PoseMyArt’s.
2. PoseMyArt Works on Everything
One of PoseMyArt’s biggest advantages is that it works on everything, while magic poser has a very limited version for desktop.
PoseMyArt is browser based and it will work on any device on any browser. We made sure to support all the major platforms including windows, mac, linux, android, iOS and of course on any device including desktop, tablet and mobile.
Although the app will always be more comfortable to use on bigger screens (like any other poser app).
To install PoseMyArt as an app on mobile you can see our download page for instructions.
3. The Premade Poses Library and Animations Library
The premade poses library of over 5800+ is a huge time saver and it could change your workflow forever.
Let’s face it, posing with any 3D model poser is hard work and takes a lot of time to get right. For that reason we have created the premade poses library, where you can search for any of our professionally made poses to save a lot of time and effort.
You can also use our library of 2400+ motion captured animations to find natural and dynamic poses by stopping the animation on any frame.
4. PoseMyArt’s Superior Model Quality and Realism
PoseMyArt has a bigger variety of models and the models quality is higher. The reason our models are better than any other app is because we actively listen to model requests from our users.
Our models are ranging from realistic, anime, animals, stylized and basic shapes. We offer a bigger variety of models in our free tier than any other app I know of.
If you’re working on understanding the underlying shapes of a pose, you can use our basic shapes models which shows the 3 major shapes of the body (hip, torso and head).
You can use our change model feature to take any pose of any model and replace the model with the basic shapes models to see the major big shapes. This feature is something I haven’t seen on any other 3D model poser app and users of PoseMyArt really love it.
We also continue to add models all the time. Got a model request to add to the app? contact us and we will see if we can add the model for you.
5. Easy to use and Intuitive Interface
I designed PoseMyArt to be as simple and intuitive as I can. We are always talking to our users to see where we can improve.
While in Magic Poser you can use inverse kinematics (drag limbs) to pose the models, in PoseMyArt you can use inverse kinematics and forward kinematics (rotating every bone individually). This gives you complete control of the pose.
To use the inverse kinematics, drag the gray boxes, to use the forward kinematics, click on the rotation spheres and rotate in each axis you want. You can also rotate in all axis by dragging the white sphere in the middle. You can learn more on how to use PoseMyArt on our Ultimate PoseMyArt Toolkit blog post.
You can also cycle between the posing modes (rotate, move, scale) by just clicking on the model. We developed this feature to make the artists workflow much easier.
6. Big Props Library
PoseMyArt supplies a wide variety of props that is not available in other posing apps.
Our big library of props save countless hours for artists looking to complete their pose reference with some props, or backgrounds.
The props library combined with the save camera positions feature improves the workflow of users who storyboard and saves a lot of time.
7. Advanced Features
PoseMyArt streamline professional workflows by providing tools that are simply not available in more basic posing apps.
Some of the features PoseMyArt offers are:
- Change Model Feature
- More Realistic Models
- Animations Library
- Premade Scene Library
- Advanced Export Options
- Quickly Copy and Pasting Poses (While both can save custom poses)
- Saving Camera Positions (Great for comics and camera creators)
- Basic Shapes Models (To understand the figures better)
- Huge Props Library
I can go on and on with the list, but I feel like it’s enough to demonstrate that PoseMyArt offers a significantly more advanced and complete solution than other basic 3D model posers.
In Conclusion
In this post, I’ve shown why I believe PoseMyArt is a best alternative to Magic Poser. Of course I might be biased since I’m the creator of PoseMyArt, but for exactly that reason I think I know why PoseMyArt is better suited for artists to improve their workflow.
Give the app a try to see for yourself, I think you’ll find the reasons I’ve shown here to be true and see why PoseMyArt is the best posing tool in the market right now.
Don’t have time to open the app? Take a quick look at our features page to see the features without opening the app.
I hope PoseMyArt will help you in your art journey! Roy (:
