Poses - how to. A tutorial

Tutorial – posing using console commands

This is a series of 29 pictures illustrating how I go about posing for screenshots, using various pose mods and a couple of useful tools.

Bear in mind – this MY way of doing this. Other people might have other –maybe better- routines.

Hopefully this will serve as an inspiration to get you started. Eventually you’ll get to do things your own way.

A note on posing in/under water. You cannot!

You need to pose the actors on dry land and then TAI them and place them using modpos/modangle

In case of your player character you need to pose him/her in 3rd person - hit tfc1 and then modpos/modangle for placing in/under water

A few incredibly useful mods:

Better Console by kassent – needsF4SE

On top of an ID number you get the name of the person/object you point and click at. Eg.:“Piper” or “turret” or “ wall” or…….

Companion whistle by Raumfliege

Places all of your active companions next to you. Can get pretty crowded very fast if you’ve got – say- 5 active!

Basically it works like the console command “player.placeatme” without the hazzle of IDs. And it addresses all of them at the same time.

Guide 63 Vanila Animations by AenDovah

Activate with console "playidle idle----------" enter. Exit console and watch the animation play.

You can freeze the animation at any time by entering console and "tfc1" That way you can get a pose not otherwise available.

Eating and gun cleaning animation comes with their own props. I don't know if there are others. I haven't tried all of them.

FO4 Hotkeys by registrator200

I don't know about this. But it was recommended to me by a well known - and very good- screen artist. My keyboard has several macro-keys separate from the ordinary keys. But I can see how this one can save you a lot of key strokes.
