Once the character is rigged, then you are free to grab each bone and move them however you like until you find the perfect 3D pose. You can also take advantage of free software like Blender, or our own Daz Studio, to streamline processes like these.

Take the time to learn your software of choice and master how to rig your character.

Using methods like weight-painting, you can help the software understand which parts of the mesh you want each bone to affect, and the level, or intensity, of that influence as well. Rigging is the process of assigning “bones” to your mesh. Typically, 3D artists prep models for styling and posing by rigging them. While the specifics will vary from software to software, the results will be about the same. If you want to really streamline the process, skip to the end where we suggest some awesome, fan-favorite 3D poses you can find in our massive catalog of 3D products! If you haven’t yet, download Daz Studio for free, so you can start creating your own unique 3D content. Whether you are looking to animate a short film or want to make some awesome renders to post on your social media account, you will need your character to do more than just stand up straight in a T-Pose! While creating a unique character in 3D is a massive topic in and of itself, what happens after you’ve completed the task? This is where styling and creating 3D poses and animations come into play.
