Step 1: Pick a pose

Open Custom Pose. Click a preset: Standing, Walking, Running, Zombie, T-Pose, Sitting, Wave, Crouch, Flex, Dab, Kick, Propose — or Flower to put a flower in the right hand.

The Custom Pose page

  1. Presets.
  2. Custom pose: drag body parts or use the sliders.

Step 2: Make your own pose

Press Custom pose (drag parts on model), then drag any body part on the model to rotate it around its joint.

For exact angles, pick a part (Head, Body, Right Arm…) and use the Swing, Twist, Raise and Elbow sliders. Reset puts one part back; Reset all puts everything back.

Step 3: View and screenshot

View: turn the model left or right, or Face front. BG changes the background (including transparent).

Press Screenshot to save a PNG, or Capture Me for videos.

View and Capture sections

  1. View: turn, face front, background.
  2. Capture: Screenshot or Capture Me.

Step 4: Record a video with Capture Me

Capture Me opens a stage. Choose a pose, a Spin (left, still, right, with speed), a Viewpoint (Front, 3/4, Side, Back, High, Low) and a Cinematic camera move (Top reveal, Side sweep, Orbit 360, Push in, Hero rise, Face close-up) with a distance.

Custom cinematic: move the camera where you like and press Add current view as point; the video glides through your points.

At the bottom choose 3, 5, 8 or 12 seconds and press Record. Clean view hides all buttons if you want to use your own screen recorder.

All 4 ways to make a GIF or video (including a quick walking GIF of any skin) are in the guide How to make a Minecraft skin GIF or video.

The Capture Me window

  1. Pose.
  2. Spin.
  3. Viewpoint.
  4. Cinematic camera moves.
  5. Custom cinematic points.
  6. Clean view, fullscreen, spin and reset.
