Nodaro DocsPose
Pick one of 81 poses, from standing and seated postures to running, leaping and hand gestures, and Nodaro adds tested wording for the pose to your prompt.
The Pose picker sets the posture and action of the subject in an image or a video. You choose one pose from its catalog, such as standing upright, cross-legged, running, mid-spin or hand on chin. Nodaro adds tested wording for that pose to the prompt of every node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.
When to use it
- Direct the pose in fashion and portrait photography.
- Block an action scene: running, jumping or a fighting stance.
- Explore a character design in different positions.
- Show what the subject is doing, such as reading, texting or cooking.
How to use it
Add the picker
Open the node picker and choose Creative Controls › Wardrobe & Pose › Pose.
Choose a pose
Select the node and choose a pose in the settings panel. Search the grid, or scroll it. Each tile shows a stick figure of the pose.
Connect it
Drag from the picker's output to the Elements input of a Generate Image or Generate Video node. You can also connect it to a Text or Prompt node to include the wording in a longer text.
Run the image or video node
The pose's wording is added to the end of the prompt when the connected node runs.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pose | The pose to add. The default is Standing Upright. |
| Custom text (before) | Your own words, added before the pose's wording. |
| Custom text (after) | Your own words, added after the pose's wording. |
| Prompt hint | Full adds a longer description of the pose. Compact adds only the short term. See Creative Controls. |
To see the exact words the picker will add, switch the node to the Prompt or Both display mode. The settings panel shows the same text under Will inject into prompt. The node card shows the pose's name, a short description and its stick figure.
For example, Standing Upright adds standing upright in a relaxed natural posture in Full mode, and standing upright in Compact mode.
Every pose
The catalog has 9 groups: Standing, Seated, Movement, Action, Resting, Hand Position, Body Lean, Head Tilt and Activity. The last four groups describe one part of the body or an activity, such as Hand on Chin, Leaning Forward, Chin Up or Texting. Search the catalog or filter it by group. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Tips
- Add a second detail with custom text. The picker adds one pose. Write a gesture or an action in Custom text (after), for example
holding a sword overhead. - Set the camera side with Framing. Pose sets the body. To show the subject from the side or from behind, use Vantage in the Framing picker.
- Use Character Motion for movement over time. In a video, Character Motion describes what the subject does during the clip. Pose describes the position the subject holds.
- Pair it with Held Prop. Poses such as Reading or Drinking read better with the object in hand. Add a Held Prop picker, such as Book or Coffee Cup.
