A posing tool would be so useful, I know you can mask and move, rotate and scale, but a dedicated tool would be much more convenient ---

I want to support rigging so it might be a step a direction. But handling rigs along sculpting is probably not as easy as it sounds so I don’t know yet. Right now I have other things I want to finish first. ---

Great to know. Have you seen the auto IK posing tool in Blender new sculpture features? ---

Maybe but I probably forgot about, there’s a lot going on with blender. ---

This IK posing would be great! Something in the lines of the ZSphere too! ---

I use split and the gizmo to position the parts. It works for me because I’m using the image as a reference for 2D painting and drawing of the same character, but it would be awesome to have something easier. ---

Simple parenting would be very useful.I’m trying to build some basic volumes that I can then merge and voxelise for base meshes after I’ve posed them. Being able to set custom object pivots for orientation etc (as you can currently ) combined with parenting would allow simple fk posing and make this process pretty fast and straightforward. ---

@stephomi Is this type of bending operation tool planned? ☹ Its the only thing preventing many of us from using nomad for full flow ☹ I found out a way to achieve a similar operation masking highpoly then using gizmo to rotate and re pivot, to then remesh, far from adoptable but sort of works ☹
