The figure is an estimate drawn from a general body model. Two people with the same numbers can carry their weight differently, so treat it as a likeness, not a scan.

The 3D body visualizer for drawing opens on a figure in a plain clay finish, with no skin color between the eye and the form. The figure is a female body 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall and 60 kg (132 lb). Turn the figure to any angle, change its height, weight, build or shape, and save the view as a PNG.

How the 3D body visualizer for drawing works

The 3D body visualizer for drawing works as a turntable for one standing figure. A drag turns the figure in any direction. A pinch, or the plus and minus buttons, zooms the view. The Front, Side and Back buttons jump to 3 set views, and the round control starts a slow spin.

Four views of a clay female figure 170 cm tall: front, three-quarter, side and back — One figure turned 0, 45, 90 and 180 degrees. The side view shows the depth of the chest and hips that a front view hides.

The body follows the numbers. Height scales the frame, and weight changes the volume. The Build slider moves the figure from softer to athletic. The shape pictures change where the weight sits: 7 shapes for the female figure and 5 for the male figure.

The Save image button downloads a PNG of the current view. Saved pictures are free to use, including in commercial work. The figure stands in one pose and cannot be posed, and it has the proportions of a real adult body with no style settings.

3D body visualizer for drawing formula

The 3D body visualizer for drawing gives 3 proportions that help set up a figure drawing. Each proportion is one measurement divided by another.

On the opening figure of 170 cm, the inseam is 79.7 cm, which is 0.47 of the height.
Proportion	Formula	On the opening figure
Legs to height	Inseam ÷ height	79.7 ÷ 170 = 0.47
Shoulders to height	Shoulder width ÷ height	35.8 ÷ 170 = 0.21
Waist to hips	Waist ÷ hips	71.3 ÷ 96.3 = 0.74

Figure drawing classes also count height in heads: the height of the figure divided by the height of its head. The Figure Drawing LAB of the University of Evansville puts the average human figure at 7 heads high and says most people are 6 to 7 heads. The ruler beside the figure is marked every 10 cm, or every 6 inches, for measuring the head against the body.

3D body visualizer for drawing conversion chart

The 3D body visualizer for drawing shows the figure's real height. To draw the figure to scale, divide the height by the scale.

At a scale of 1:8, a 170 cm figure is 21.3 cm tall on paper.
Scale	A 170 cm figure on paper	In inches
1:4	42.5 cm	16.7 in
1:5	34.0 cm	13.4 in
1:6	28.3 cm	11.2 in
1:8	21.3 cm	8.4 in
1:10	17.0 cm	6.7 in

To study how muscle changes the outline, see one weight at three builds. The body shape visualizer lines up every shape at one height and weight. For exact proportions, open the figure with its tape lines on and type the measurements. The guide on how a 3D body model is made explains the mesh under the figure.

Questions people ask

Can the figure be posed?

No. The figure stands in one pose, upright with the arms held a little away from the body. The view turns to any angle, and the body changes with height, weight, build and shape, but the limbs do not move.

Can I use the pictures in my own art?

Yes. Pictures saved from the tool are free to use, including in public and in commercial work, and no credit is required. The Save image button downloads a PNG of the current view.

Does the 3D body visualizer draw anime or cartoon proportions?

No. The figure has the proportions of a real adult body and has no style settings. Its height, weight, build, shape and 13 measurements can be changed, and its style cannot.

What is the clay finish?

The Clay finish draws the skin in one neutral gray and leaves out eye color, so light and shadow show the form. The fitted base layer stays on. Six skin tones are also offered, and the finish changes nothing but the color.

Which views can I save for a turnaround sheet?

Any view. The Front, Side and Back buttons give 3 set views, and a drag turns the figure to every angle between them. Save one PNG for each view and place them side by side to make a turnaround sheet.
