I’m straying slightly from what I normally post, but I figure this has something to do with poses, right? Totally. The AnyPose Expression HUD, in short, is pretty damned incredible, and guess what? It’s free.
It has a ridiculous amount of features, as you can see, my favourite (besides what I’ll explain below) is the feature that allows you to play puppet master to anyone in range. A click of the button and a click of their name allows you to change not only their expression, but everything else you can do to yourself via the HUD.
It does the standard things, like smiles, frowns, all that sort of stuff, but it also gives you the option to change where your eyes look. Oh, yes. I’m sure you’ve had times where you wished you could get yourself to look somewhere else for that perfect shot. Now it’s possible!
Lastly, but definitely just as useful, is the option to change your hand gestures. This is great for photography, but my favourite use of it is to fix those glitched, spread eagle hands that pop up every now and again.
Honestly, there’s absolutely no reason to not get this. It’s amazing, incredibly handy and helpful, and completely free. Get it right here on Marketplace. Enjoy!
Great post. I think more people should know about tools like this. :)
ty! That’s exactly why I wanted to blog it :)
It is a great tool! I wish the hands would work for more poses. Most poses are high priority to keep them static, so the hands don’t work when you’re posed. But I used this for every single shot for eye direction.
Agreed! Thankfully, I never use the hands. I use the eye direction ALL the time, and it’s very handy when you need to add a bit of expression to someone’s face
I couldn’t live without this hud! I always use it. Great idea on the post, I’m sure many people will be happy to learn about this useful tool.
ty! while I’m sure there’s tons of us out there who use it (as I’ve found out just today) I’m positive there’s people out there who will be DYING to get a hold of it!
I swear by this thing! great post <3
