Intro
Showcase scene featuring 196 standing heels poses animated using @MacGruber 's awesome IdlePoser.
I went through almost 600 poses and picked the ones that were front-facing and made sense to animate. Took a long time to organize, align, and animate the poses but I am really happy with the vast variety of the result.
Awesome poses created by klphgz originally are all available on hub.
Scene also features a variety of expression presets using Expression Randomizer by Extraltodeus/VamTimbo.

Instructions
- Posing
- Click the Posing button in the UI to start automatic random posing transitions (un-check the box at any time to STOP/PAUSE changing poses).
- There are 2 main types of poses: Wide Stance and Close Stance
- You can toggle between All Stances, Wide Stances Only or Close Stances Only
- Use the 360°, 180°, and 0° buttons to embody CameraMan in that mode.
- Synergy arm/body movements, Gaze and Footsteps on by default, can be toggled off using UI.
- Expressionsoptions include 7 distinct presets for ExpressionRandomizer, all somewhat subtle expressions.
- Can toggle between Cute, Sultry or All Mixed expressions.
- Will play Cute expressions by default on scene load.
- 3 presets for background wall: Purple, Black, and White
- Post Magic option in UI, off by default
- IMPORTANT
- If you want Gaze to work instead of the head locked from the pose, you need to TURN OFF HEAD ROTATION IN IdlePoser
- ALSO IMPORTANT: After you do this, go back to the Play tab to get it to play again.
Nerdy Details
- I had no idea if IdlePoser can efficiently handle almost 200 poses and close to 30 control points but it seems to be okay. Let me know if it is too taxing on performance, it seems okay to me.
- This also captured and animates all hand pose morphs used in the poses.
- I categorized/designed these pose animations into 8 groups of poses based a few parameters:
- Is the weight on the LEFT or RIGHT heel?
- Is it a WIDE or CLOSE stance?
- Are the feet crossed in any way?
- Based on that I made basic groups for: WideRight, WideLeft, CloseRight, CloseLeft, CrossedRight, CrossedLeft
- I setup IdlePoser to find a next pose by shifting the weight from one side to the other, making the transitions look more natural.
- So, you can go from WideRight to CloseLeft but not from WideRight to CloseRight
- Transitions within a group are disabled. They might work fine, but doesn't look as natural.
- Poses are all aligned based on the control point of the heel tip of the weighted foot
- There are 4 control points in a horizontal line: WideRight, CloseRight, CloseLeft, WideLeft
- WideRight/Left are used for the Wide poses, and CloseRight/Left are used for the Close and Crossed poses
- I re-saved each pose after aligning it accordingly and zero'd the control so everything lines up
