Sitting poses always look wrong. The pelvis tilts, the spine rounds, the thighs squash against the seat, and your reference is a stock photo from one angle.

So we shot a whole day of them. Refcraft 1900 is 1,925 studio photos of one female model on a black cube and a wooden bar stool, in one session. The same body in hundreds of sitting, kneeling and crouching positions, from enough angles to block out a pose in ZBrush, Blender or Maya and check it against the real thing. Also great for figure drawing, gesture sketching and character design.

What's in the set

• ~550 seated poses on the cube
• ~315 kneeling and crouching poses
• ~245 floor poses, incl. ~60 legs-up for foreshortening
• ~155 leaning poses
• ~110 bar-stool poses
• ~535 standing gesture poses
• 15 close-up portraits

Technical

• 1,925 JPGs, 3400 × 6048 px (full size ZIP, 14.2 GB)
• Small-size ZIP of the same poses for quick browsing and mobile (~716 MB, so the file count shows 3,850 images)
• One soft side light on a grey seamless; original file numbers keep pose sequences together
• Instant download. Basic license, buy once, keep forever.

How to practise with it

1. Pick a family (say, seated on the cube) and run 30-second gesture sketches.
2. Choose one pose and rotate through its angles to understand the form.
3. Sculptors: block out the pose in 3D, then compare it with the photo.
