Back in the day if you wanted to draw people from life you either, went outside and sketched people as they walk by or attended a life drawing session with a live model. If neither scenario was an option you either had to draw from photo's (flat) or you were stuck with the old wooden manikin,
Thanks to new technology you have another option.

I have a couple of these on my phone and I find them of limited use. I tried to install Pose Tool 3D on my tablet a few weeks but there was some sort of problem and I could not get it to install - very frustrating. It may be that I need to free up some memory...
ReplyDeleteAnother option for desktop/laptop is Daz3D. The software and basic figures are free to download. The figures are infinitely poseable, fully orbital and zoomable viewing and multiple light sources to arrange. Very useful. http://daz3d.com/
I've used Mara with no issues. Some apps can be iffy when it comes to processing power and memory. I've also found that if they recommend a certain version of OS or higher, you have to follow the recommendations.
DeleteWill definitely have to check out Daz3D!
Thanks for the feedback Scott.
Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response. Have you seen our prior post of free ("stuff") software for the holidays? Check it out.
ReplyDeleteA few more recommendations of apps for artists are coming, Stay tuned!
This look very promissing...
