Poses Library Overview
Every field a pose record carries in Intempt's Poses library: identity fields, composition anatomy, compatibility fields, and how presets differ from custom poses.
Overview
Poses lives under Design in the console sidebar, at /poses. It's Intempt's library of reference body poses: a set of built-in presets plus any custom poses your team creates, all in one list. You render an avatar against a pose to lock a specific body position, camera framing, and energy for a photoshoot.
This article is the field reference for a pose record. For the step-by-step creation and editing flow, see Creating Custom Poses.

Identity fields
Set on the pose itself, editable only on custom poses:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The pose's display name. |
| Category | One of: Standing, Action, Editorial, Sitting, Product interaction. |
| Framing | One of: Full-body, Three-quarter, Profile, Back. |
| Direction | One of: Front, 3Q-L, 3Q-R, Profile-L, Profile-R, Back. |
| Energy | One of: still, calm, dynamic, mid-motion. |
| Tags | Free-text labels. Used by search; there's no Tag filter on the list page. |
| Why it works | A free-text explanation of why the pose suits its intended use. Shown on both presets and custom poses. |
| Prompt hint | The prompt text used to render the pose's reference image. Shown (read-only) on presets, editable on custom poses. |
| Negative cues | A list of things to exclude from the render (for example, "no floating limbs"). |
Composition anatomy
The Composition panel on a pose's detail page breaks the pose down into exact body mechanics, grouped into five sections. Every field is editable on custom poses and read-only on presets.
| Group | Field | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Shot | Camera height | eye-level, low, hip, high, overhead |
| Shot | Shot length | full-body, three-quarter, waist-up, cowboy, close-up |
| Body | Weight | centered, contrapposto-L, contrapposto-R, leaning-fwd, leaning-back, mid-motion |
| Body | Stance | narrow, neutral, wide, walking |
| Body | Hips | squared, 3Q-L, 3Q-R, profile-L, profile-R, back |
| Body | Shoulders | squared, 3Q-L, 3Q-R, profile-L, profile-R, back |
| Body | Spine | neutral, s-curve, arched, twisted |
| Head & gaze | Head | to-camera, away, down, up, over-shoulder |
| Head & gaze | Gaze | to-camera, off-camera, down, at-product |
| Head & gaze | Expression | neutral, soft-smile, laughing, focused, pensive |
| Limbs | Left arm / Right arm | relaxed, on-hip, raised, holding-product, in-pocket, behind-back, gesturing, crossed |
| Limbs | Left leg / Right leg | planted, popped, crossed, kicked-back, walking, seated |
| Product | Interaction | none, holding, wearing, applying, pointing-to, using, unboxing, presenting, mirror-tryon, flatlay |
| Product | Placement | camera-side, far-side, both-hands, on-body |
📘 Good to know
Hips and Shoulders share the same option list, but they're independent fields. You can twist the shoulders relative to the hips to build a more dynamic stance.
Compatibility fields ("Use it for")
Shown on every pose, editable only on custom poses. These describe when to reach for the pose, not how it renders:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Best for | Verticals the pose suits: apparel, beauty, accessories, lifestyle, fitness, food, home. |
| Avatars | Which avatar body type the pose expects: any, full-body, half-body. |
| Scenes | Scene kinds the pose works well in: studio, lifestyle, outdoor, editorial. |
| Avoid with | A free-text list of things this pose doesn't work with, such as a garment cut it conflicts with. |
Presets vs. custom poses
| Preset | Custom pose | |
|---|---|---|
| Badge on detail page | Preset | Custom |
| Identity section (Name, Category, Framing, Direction, Energy, Tags) | Hidden | Shown and editable |
| Prompt hint and Notes | Read-only, hidden if empty | Editable |
| Composition and "Use it for" fields | Read-only | Editable, every change saves immediately |
| Generate/Regenerate image | Not available | Available on the hero image |
| Delete | Not available | Available |
| Remix | Available — hands off to Blu chat with a pre-filled remix instruction; no new pose exists until the conversation produces one | Not applicable |
Searching and sorting
| Control | Options |
|---|---|
| Search | Matches name, category, framing, direction, prompt hint, or tags. |
| Sort | My poses first, Presets first, Recently updated, A → Z. |
There's no filter option or view switcher on this page currently — every pose, preset and custom alike, shows in the same card grid, and values like Category, Framing, and Direction are only visible once you open a pose's detail page.

Use cases
- Auditing what a pose actually locks down. Check the Composition table to see exactly which body mechanics (weight, stance, spine, limbs) a pose fixes before applying it to a shoot.
- Deciding whether to remix or start fresh. Compare the Presets vs. custom poses table to confirm a preset can't be edited directly, only remixed into a copy.
- Restricting a pose to the right avatar type. Check the Avatars compatibility field before applying a pose built for full-body avatars to a half-body character.
- Finding poses for a single vertical. Check each pose's Best for field on its detail page, or search by category name, since there's no Category filter on the list page currently.
- Avoiding a wardrobe mismatch. Check a pose's Avoid with field before pairing it with a garment or product the pose's stance doesn't suit.
- Building a full set of camera angles. Use the Direction field's options (Front, 3Q-L, 3Q-R, Profile-L, Profile-R, Back) as a checklist when a shoot needs coverage from multiple angles.
- Separating your team's poses from the built-in library. Sort by "My poses first" or "Presets first" to group them, since there's no separate Source filter on the list page currently.

Creating Custom Poses
Poses is Intempt's library of reference body poses for on-model photoshoots. Create your own by generating with AI, starting from scratch, or remixing a built-in preset.
Remixing a Scene
Remix turns one of Intempt's built-in Scene presets into a custom scene you can edit, by handing off to a Blu chat conversation that creates the copy for you.
