Expression References (Pt. 1)

Expression References (Pt. 1)

Here is the first part of two! I will be doing another pair of packs in the future that has different angles like looking up and down.


Expressions can look a little unrealistic in Daz at times, so that's just something to keep in mind. The second row of this set hopefully shows you what I mean! It is only obvious in some of the expressions, as I tried to keep the exaggeration t...

April's Mini Reference Pack! (2021)

Couples won the poll again, so here is another set of references for all of you. I will be taking a break from this theme for the time being, but rest assured, there will be a lot more of it in the future. 🤍



The packs for April will be...expressions!

March Hand References (Pt. 2)

March Hand References (Pt. 2)

As promised, the second part of the hand references! This pack contains two angles; the back and outer sides of the hand. Here is a link to the first part if you missed it, which had the inner and palm side (Part 1 is for Patrons only) 👏

March Hand References (Pt.1)

March Hand References (Pt.1)

I wanted to make another batch of hand references with detailing like wrinkles and better lighting, so here they are! I did run into a few issues though, so let me explain.


There are no reference sheets for these sets. Because I had to hide the rest of the body from the camera, I can only rotate the arm so far at certain angles. This means there is an uneven amount of reference...

March's Mini Reference Pack! (2021)

Despite the size, I gave the pack as much pose variety as I could, but there will be many more Mage and Magic Caster references to come, especially in the big D&D packs I have planned!

Couples References Pt. 2

Couples References Pt. 2

I tried to keep the theme of the pose pack from earlier in the month, but I did make some changes to the models and use a new lighting setup. There are 7 poses for each pair!


I do have to note that the size of one of the models changes in a few poses. I guess that it has to do with how the pose presets were saved, but I decided to leave it in as-is. This is probably the most ob...

(Request) Hair References

(Request) Hair References

This was requested a while back and I finally had enough hairstyles to put a pack together. These were all made by different people and have different movement and color controls, so some will have more reference angles than others! 



For example, this blunt Bob had a l...

Resources for learning Daz3D

Daz can be a little intimidating at first, so I tried to find things that explain it as simply as possible, and similarly to how I use it to make references. I will add this post to the Reference FAQ and try to keep it updated.

Poll for February's 3rd Ref Pack

Thank you so much for all of the responses! I got a lot more than I was expecting, but I should be able to do most of them. Some of the suggestions were already planned and will be in bigger packs (like more DnD references) and the others will be put onto the poll in pairs according to how many likes they received. Doing two at a time will leave room for the options I mentioned in the ...

(2021) Buff References Pt. 1

The first pack of the New Year! I really wanted to update the Buff reference that I made in early  2020, so here is part one of that. I purchased a scarred Viking model specifically for these, but I also decided to make two other models; one leaner, and one older to add variety. 


The main theme is sword fighting, and I will try to include a couple of sets of them figh...

Suggestions for February's 3rd Pack!

Before you leave a comment below, let me explain how this pack will work:


  • As with all of my references, I'm limited by the 3D assets I can purchase and/or make. I will, however, write down every suggestion and hopefully be able to make reference of it in the future!

  • This pack will always be smaller than the regular packs, but I would like for them to be <...

200 Floor Poses (pt. 2)

It's #thankyoupatrons day, so I thought I would post the second part of this month's references a little earlier! I really can't thank all of you enough, because your support has made it possible for me to keep making references, including free packs like this for those that can't afford to become a patron.

Renovations are (almost) complete!

I decided not to redo the header or the icon other than to adjust the colors since I still like them, but I went ahead and made new drawings for both tiers! I tried to stay on theme with the whole vintage, slightly morbid aesthetic.

Here is part 1 of the floor poses! I accidentally made these larger than I usually do, so I had to split them into 2 zip files. There are 25 poses with a rotation of 10 angles each! As always I have included a set of reference sheets to make studying easier.

Throughout November I will be updating everything here, including the graphics, turning on the annual membership option for those that are interested, and a new goal that, if reached, will add an extra reference pack for patrons every month (along with a few other bonuses) I won't be changing the tiers at all aside from some rewording.

This is the first half of 50 seated poses! This set contains 25 poses with 10 angles each + 25 reference sheets in a separate zip file. I tried to organize them by pose type to make searching a little easier, and used a warm/cool lighting to test out something new!

Future References!

I have something else planned for October, but I would love to know what order I should go in for the next batch of references. Let me explain each of them so you know what to expect:

What can I do to Improve?

I can't believe it's been half a year since I started doing this! I think it's time for a feedback poll, because I can always make improvements and it would be good to know if I'm doing anything that is unnecessary. I would also like to know where I can make adjustments, or if there is something I can add that can help make using my reference easier for everyone.
