The Pose Library is a way to save and reuse rig poses. It's commonly used to save hand poses and facial expressions but you can create any pose you want.

Glad you like them, mate!
This is a perfect and complete tutorial on pose library.. Thank you CGDrive.
You explain things really, really well.
Found this when I just needed a quick answer or how to save a pose. Your chapters made it really easy to find. Great video, thank you!
Helpful and comprehensive tutorial. Thank you
So this pose library is just a collection of "Animations" that have 1 frame? I really hated doing this in the past, they didn't improve on it much. If you have a pose in action editor, it gets mixed in with real animations. Which is a pain to sort. Your injured animation is in the same drop down as the pose library.. That gets messy. They should be in a section of their own. The legacy pose library was way better.
Thank u so much! Helpful as always 🩵👍
now we just need (an official) animation library! Unless you consider NLA that...
you really did an excellent job making this video, I appreciate all your effort. Thank you
Thanks, Todor. The asset library rocks. I wish Blender could implement some approximation algorithm so that even the poses with some variations to the bone structure could work for your particular rig. The same sort of a retargeting tool which Unreal Engine uses.

Yeah, I was thinking that it wouldn't be possible to do. We have retargeting tools that do that already. It would require some setup tho even if a workflow existed.

Thorough…thanks. 🤔☕️🎩🎩🎩👍
Wow so instead of being able to save a pose with a button or hotkey, you have to open 52 editors first. Blender seems to have completely lost sight of the rapid and easy usage principles it had initially. Saving a pose should be no more difficult than keying bone positions
It works perfectly with my Blender creations, but not really with diffeomorphic, it's a plugin that uses daz studion to import these meshes.
Thank you❤

I'll try
so cool, but its kinda whack with all these panels open, but I guess its more organized. it's a bit different in blender 4.1. Also if you start saving poses and meddle with applying scale, rotation or any other transform, it will mess up all saved poses, and your IK rig. So it is safer to turn off IK rig before you save a pose. And turn the IK rig back on if u wanna create new poses, and turn it off again.
In case anyone else was confused why the video has a bottom tray and yours doesn't (assuming it doesn't like mine). Go to the botton to where it looks like you can click to expand and then right-click and split horizontally.
i like your channel!

blender is really confusing for someone who's just learning it. Why do we need to jump through 15 hoops just to save an asset instead of it being a shortcut or something by default
YOU SOLVE MY PROBLEM THANK YOU ALLAH BLESS YOU
Ok, this is a point that got me quite stuck. I understand that this is a video meant to be "in context" but I had a pose which was based on scale, not rotation. As a result, I wasn't able to 'reset' it with alt + r, and I had to search how to reset scaling on bones. I understand that posing is a 'separate' topic; however if we are talking about how to make sets of different pose assets we should get this point down.
@CGDive

reset scale is alt+s
is a bit weird but if you save the pose in the library instead of the time line if doesn't make a key which can be helpfull
Thank you.

It's cool, but i don't like the fact that file will become flooded with actions. Guess I will need sort the pose assets using the prefix in their names.
Not sure if there has been some sort of update, to the side Panel at 11L but when I right click a Pose in the side Pose Library I am only given "Edit" as an option, nothing like I'm seeing there
Hey apply pose flipped not working for me, bones are moving not as expected pose.
Thank you. This was very helpful. There is one aspect that is very important that you did not talk about. I will use your injured animation walk for the example. I want to paste the start pose of the injured walk to the end of the walk to make it a cycle. What do I have to consider in order to make this happen? Any help would be appreciated.
@CGDive

In blender, you can select a keyframe, copy it, then past it (ctrl+c ctrl+v in an animation editor). I did not talk about it because it wasn't the topic of the video :)
Hey, great video Is there a method to extract a pose from an image/picture? Imagine I take a picture of myself doing a specific pose, can I get the pose and apply it to a 3D avatar? Thanks in advance!
@CGDive

Not in Blender right now. There are AI tools that can do that but connecting that into a full workflow that makes a pose for Blender might be difficult.
Hi, is there a way to apply constraints like copy rotation BEFORE saving the asset? If I add the asset to another file/rig without the constraint the pose is messed up. Thank you! Awesome vid as always! :)

Honestly, I am not sure what you mean. The only change is that they added an pose asset shelf in the bottom of the 3d view instead of the N panel. Everything else is a carbon copy and works the same way. Please watch this to learn about the shelf: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKinx8GjhdSdos4.html

The pose asset itself is another action. Your original animation is still in the file. You just have to apply it again.
Can we make walk cycle to pose library?

No, just poses.
I have to ask since I am new to this app. Why would Blender delete an animation when I make a pose from the first frame? It deleted a test animation. I did not have the animation in the action editor. I just copied the first frame of the animation in the graph editor. This is really weird.
@CGDive

/@@CGDive Thanks for responding to my questions. I have tried to find the test animation by switching back to the graph editor and the timeline. When selecting the character controls it only shows one set of keys and that is the first keys in any of the editors that I bring up. Like I said I am new to this app. I try to just play the animation and there is nothing there. I tried to revert as well but that did not take me back to the animation. I checked in the folder where I have been keeping these Blender files and there is no iteration but would not think there would be in the first place.
