Classic 1300 is a female pose reference pack of 1,307 high-resolution studio photos of one model, shot as a single continuous session on a white turntable. It is built for artists who sculpt, model and paint characters: readable silhouettes, clear weight and contact points, and turntable sequences that show the same pose from several angles – the one thing a single stock photo or a 3D mannequin can't give you.

Why this pack exists Most free female pose reference is a handful of single shots. When you are blocking out a kneeling character in ZBrush or Blender, or painting a seated figure for a game illustration, you need to see how a real body folds, compresses and balances from more than one side. Classic 1300 is the second half of one long studio day (Part 2). The brief to the model was "classic and clear": no props that hide the body, and as many different weight-bearing positions as possible. It starts on a white cube and turntable (sitting, kneeling, crouching), moves to the floor (reclining, all-fours, legs-up), stands up for full-body gesture, and ends with a folding wooden step-stool and a few freer, dance-like poses. Soft side light keeps the forms readable for values and anatomy.

What's inside – by the numbers - Floor poses (kneeling, sitting, all-fours, reclining): ~430 (33%) - Standing poses, full body: ~400 (30%) - Cube and turntable poses (sitting, kneeling, crouching): ~220 (17%) - Legs-up and inverted floor poses: ~90 (7%) - Wooden step-stool and chair poses: ~90 (7%) - Expressive finale (stretching, dance-like, reaching): ~75 (6%)

How 3D, game & concept artists use it 1. Block out a sculpt from real weight. Pick a cube or kneeling sequence and match your base mesh to two or three of the angles. See how to work from spin sequences: https://refimages.com/blog/how-to-use-360-spin-reference 2. Check silhouettes. Standing and floor poses give clear outlines for character design and game-ready key art. More: https://refimages.com/blog/best-reference-for-character-design 3.
