Each of our poses is captured from up to 65 angles and packaged into sets.
The high quality, custom morphed 3d models we use provide more flexibility and versatility than live model photo reference. Without gravity to contend with, we can get a better angle on tough poses without needing to balance the models precariously on chairs or other supports. We are able to easily get tough shots, such as directly above and directly below the model, and 3d models in a blank environment also provide very clean images with simple lines, making them ideal for referencing complex and group poses.
Capturing poses from every single degree would result in a lot of almost-identical images. Instead, we capture from between 15 and 65 angles while rotating the model 360 degrees on eye level plus bird's-eye, and worm's-eye views. Many poses also have straight-down and straight-up shots from above and below. Whatever pose you need, we have the perfect angle for you.
We operate on a monthly subscription model, as well as offering a number of free high-res reference images. For more info, and to compare plans, visit our Subscription page.
Up to 65 images are included in each set, depending on the complexity of the pose, with most falling into the 25-35 range. A very simple standing pose gets fewer captures, as many of the angles end up looking very similar. Complex poses with a lot of foreshortening, or multiple-models, get a higher number of captures.
Each image is 3000x3000 pixels in dimension, with the model(s) filling the majority of the frame width and height.
Pose Vault images are royalty-free, and almost unlimited. You can use them as the basis for any personal or commercial derivative work---reference, paint-overs, digital manipulation, whatever you need.

A selection of high-res images from various sets are offered on our Freebies page, along with one free 46 image set.
We offer Artist and Professional level subscription plans. Artist subscriptions are limited to a single user, and are subject to download limits.
