Pose tabletop miniatures before you print

Snap a multi-part kit together and pose it, or give a one-piece sculpt a simple skeleton. See the finished mini before you spend any resin.

Can I pose a miniature I already have?

Yes, if it comes in separate parts, like most multi-part resin kits. Click the part that stays put, then the part that should follow it, and the two are joined.

Turn or drag a joint and everything attached to it comes along, sword arm included. A one-piece sculpt can be posed too, with a skeleton.

Turn any joined part at its joint, sword arm included, and the Joints tab keeps track of which ones you've turned.

Can I mix parts from different kits?

Yes. Open the parts from each kit, join them the same way, and see the whole mini on screen. An awkward fit or a clashing pose shows up here, not on the build plate.

To see how it all goes together, spread the kit apart with a slider. Arrows point from each piece to where it attaches, and Save picture keeps the view as your own build guide. Nothing moves for real.

Colour pieces gives every part its own colour and label, so it's easy to see what goes where, and Save picture keeps that view as a sharp reference for later.

Will it match my other minis in size?

Select a mini and a see-through box shows its height and width. Add your other models to the row, click a height line to drop a coloured mark, and the mark shows on every box.

No file for the mini you're matching? Line it up against a reference silhouette, or crop a photo of a real miniature into a standee.

Add as many models as you like to the row with a click on the +, and see how they all stack up side by side.

Can I cut a sculpt into parts?

Yes. Open Cut into pieces and paint over what you want off, like a sculpted rock under the knight's foot, then press Cut into 2 pieces. It becomes its own object you can move, swap or delete. The tool can also suggest where to cut so the pieces print well.

For a straight cut, such as taking the torso off at the waist, use Plane cut and keep both halves, ready to join to other legs. The original stays in the project, hidden, and Undo brings it back.

Paint over what you want to separate, amber shows what is marked, and Cut into pieces turns it into its own object you can move, swap or delete.

How do I pose a one-piece sculpt?

Give it a simple skeleton. It's built for one job, a good print pose, so it's far quicker to learn than an animation program.

  1. Rig

    Drag the ready-made human skeleton onto your figure and nudge the joints into place, or click to place each one down the middle of a limb.

  2. Paint

    If a spot follows the wrong joint, paint over it to hand it to the right one.

  3. Pose

    Turn or drag a joint and the limb follows. Mirror the pose to the other side, or pin a foot so it stays planted.

What won't it do well?

It poses and cuts the model you already have, but it isn't a sculpting program. Two things to know before you start.

  • No sculpting tools

    There's no brush to smooth or reshape the surface by hand. For touch-ups like that, finish the mini in a sculpting program.

  • One-piece sculpts take more work

    Posing is easiest when the arms and legs are separate parts. Rigging a figure that is one solid piece works, but it is much harder.
