I used Bony Character Rig to pose 6 poses, which including playing football, jumping, punching action poses and sitting, fear and happy drama poses.
I firstly searched human poses on the internet. After selected poses that I am satisfied with, I then analysed the anatomy of these poses. I paid more attention to the rotation of clavicle, hip, waist and the center of gravity.
The secong part is building poses. When I creating action poses, I tend to move the center of gravity away from main body, which can help people feeling the weight of actions. When I creating drama poses, however, I paid more attention to the balance among different parts of the body and make use of body gestures to show charactor’s emotion status.
After making the prototype of poses I then spent more time to polish them. I adjusted these poses again and again to get proper silhouettes, which are quite essential for the level of appearance of poses. I also made some small objects like football and sofa, putting them in proper positions to make character’s actions clearer than before.
Then comes to the lighting part. I used an Ai dome light and three Ai area lights to illuminate my scenes.
Below are my six poses. Rendered with Arnold:
