ArtPose Pro 12+

Quite good, but not enough

It is a good app, but could be way better with little improvements. Two figures is poor quantity of figures for artists that need big compositions. The saving option should be to an archive instead of a socket (it has 20, and if it looks like it is enough, it’s not). This sockets fail a lot, they usually save one figure of the two you have displayed, which is time consuming (you need to put into position the other figure again). It needs a flipping button (both horizontally and verticallly). I know they have implemented this option in other platforms, but not on mac yet. Another thing implemented in pc, but not in mac is the option to save screen captures. And the main problems I find in the app are these: first, proportions of both female and male figures aren’t exactly correct. The male, for example has a very long neck and too big feet. She’s a bit better, but still a bit giraffe neck in my opinion. Second, moving the different body parts is a bit difficult to control. Maybe in tablets and iPad is easier, but not on a pc or mac. And the worst issue I can see is that if you want to rotate the figure maintaining the feet on the floor you can’t do it with precision, as you got to move it controlling the button in the figure’s waist, which causes the figure rotating like an astronaut in space. The bottom button to move the figure in the x, y and z axis should be used to rotate the figure with the feet fixed to the floor. Lastly, the figures tend to deform a lot as they get near the camera. There should be a “horizon line” button to know where it is if desired and the grid on the floor should be bigger in every direction. It would be just perfect to limit the range of movement of all the articulations instead of letting them squeeze like a rag. So, I recommend it, but needs lot of improvements and fixes to be totally useful.
