Pose Creator (Stickman Poser)
Prototype a pose with a simple rig, then export a pose guide PNG you can use with ControlNet Pose / OpenPose workflows.
This exports a pose guide image (not a character). It’s meant for pose conditioning (e.g. ControlNet Pose).
What is a Pose Creator (Stickman Poser)?
A pose creator lets you move joints on a simple stickman (skeleton) to create a specific pose. You can export the result as a pose guide image and use it for pose conditioning workflows like ControlNet Pose / OpenPose.
Why use a pose creator for AI art?
- Reduce wasted generations — stop rerolling just to get the right body position.
- Repeatability — save and reuse the same pose across prompts and styles.
- Less prompt wrestling — instead of vague text like “arms up”, you provide an explicit guide.
How to use it (basic)
- Adjust joints (arms/legs/torso) with the rig controls
- Pick an aspect ratio and export size
- Download (or copy) the pose guide PNG
- Feed the pose guide image into ControlNet Pose and generate
FAQ
Does this export OpenPose JSON?
This prototype focuses on exporting a pose guide PNG. Most ControlNet Pose setups accept an image input reliably. We can add JSON/keypoint export later if needed.
Is this a 3D poser?
Right now it’s a lightweight rig-based prototype. A future upgrade can add a true 3D view (camera + depth), then project to 2D and export the same pose guide image.
My pose conditioning is too strong/weak
Tune ControlNet weight and start/end. Increase weight to lock the pose harder; decrease it to allow more freedom.
What we’ll likely add next
- Direct drag controls (grab joints and move them)
- Import a photo → extract pose → tweak
- One-click handoff into Create (auto attach as ControlNet Pose)
- True 3D view with camera angle and depth
