Posing Characters for Screenshots

[MetaAuria]

I am writing a blog of my newest Dragonborn, and I want to add some candid shots of my character. What I can't seem to find is a way to pose the character in a natural way. For example, when they sit, they sit straight and look unnatural. What I am looking for are maybe some console commands to modify poses. I know it can be done, another blog I am following does it with her character. She sits crosslegged. I would love to have a praying pose.

Here is an example:
Eyes on the Prey - Weakness

Any help would be awesome!

There is a mod that adds different animations your character can do.

That was exactly that I was looking for. Thank you, Uthy!

It also helps to use the CK to create a follower that looks like your character. Character Face Export - The Nexus Forums explains how to export your face and import it into the CK. I mostly use an identical follower to make my character actually turn his head in different directions.

Did you install Fores New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim mods and community ?

Yeah, I did. D: I can't get much to work on Nexus these days though anyway. It's really frustrating me. I'm actually spending today to pose people and stage screenshots for my fanfic chapters and a new sig, so it's extra annoying.

Did you install FNIS first, and then Pinup? Do you have any other animation mods that require FNIS, like Director Tools? I couldn't get Director Tools working, and I'm assuming it had to do with Pinup already being there.

I'm going to have to revive this one. I'm tryna have my female character sit all girly on a Jarl seat added by a mod. So far all I got are standalone animations I can trigger, but I can't get it to line up with the seat.

So I'll need either something that changes the animations tied with the seats, or a way to move my character around to make it look like she is on the seat.

Any pointers in the right direction gentlemen?

You'll need to use the getpos and setpos console commands.
getpos (x, y, z) gives you your target's x, y, or z coordinate.
setpos (x, y, z) # changes the target's x, y, or z coordinate.

Say you want to move your character. First you'll get her position by typing.
player.getpos x
player.getpos y
The console tells you that her x is 25 and her y is 30. Now you can adjust her position.
player.setpos x 27
player.setpos y 31
She'll move from (25, 30) to (27, 31).

It's tedious, but it comes in handy. I've used it quite a bit myself.

Many thanks pardnar, I can only imagine the work involved but after seeing the end result, it's worth it!
