I have a resource here: http://www.posemaniacs.com/

It has hundreds of varying poses on 3d models that can be rotated and enlarged to your heart’s content. I figured it might be an appropriate submission…?

Wow this looks awesome and seems like it could be a great resource for artists who need references. :)

Edit: gene-technology has a different view, which I want to share so people get another perspective:

i wouldn’t rely too much on posemaniacs - it’s nice enough for silhouettes, but as is expected for 3d skins, the actual structure of the musculature isn’t depicted properly

WhyLimeTime also chimes in with similar concerns:

I’m with gene-technology on this one. This is a HORRIBLE site for anatomy. It’s a great website for pose ideas, but the anatomy in this is horrible. Because it’s 3D programming, you’ll find things like limbs merging together, or things not bending how they would naturally. That muscles aren’t actually in the right places! And breasts and such will not move accordingly to a pose. Using that site is exactly the thing that will lead to the girls with bad anatomy; by using the site, you’ll only get more content for this tumblr.

Instead, try pixelovely. It’s photo reference, which is 100X better.

Okay, so this is a good reference for poses but not necessarily anatomy.  Something to keep in mind if you use it.
