Sakura Poselib earns its place in the blender_extensions library as a purpose-built replacement for Blender's discontinued pose library, folding pose creation, import, slider blending, and MMD export into one panel.
Sakura Poselib is a pose library add-on for Blender, created by Kafuji to replace the old pose library that was gradually phased out during the Blender 3 series. It lets you create pose data from the current armature pose, then manage those poses by categorizing and batch renaming them. Poses can be applied, combined with sliders that work the same way as Shape Keys influence values, and used directly in animations by keying pose values in the timeline.
Beyond building poses from scratch, it imports from the old pose library, mmd_tools, and PMX Editor. Pose data can be saved to a file and reused with other models. For MMD work, poses export to mmd_tools or save as CSV or VPD files, with PMX Editor listed as a supported export target. The interface lives in the Sakura tab of the 3D Viewport side panel and supports English and Japanese.
It is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. If you are upgrading from an earlier add-on version, uninstall it before installing this extension.
Sakura Poselib is best for blender users who need to create, organize, and reuse pose libraries, including those working with MMD models through mmd_tools, CSV, or VPD.
Sakura Poselib is completely free to download and use.
Sakura Poselib is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. The 1.4.4 release updated its bone selection code to support Blender 5.0, and the add-on now works correctly in both Pose Mode and Edit Mode. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the current version and any newer compatibility notes, check the developer's page on GitHub.
Sakura Poselib appears under the Sakura tab in the 3D Viewport side panel once installed and activated. From there you can create pose data from the current armature pose, categorize and batch rename poses, and blend them with sliders. The interface supports both English and Japanese. If you are moving from an earlier version of the add-on, uninstall it before installing and activating this extension.
Sakura Poselib can export poses for use in MMD models through mmd_tools, or by saving them as CSV files or VPD files. It also imports poses from mmd_tools and PMX Editor, and lists PMX Editor as a supported export target for other applications. Pose data can additionally be saved to a file and reused with other models, so a library built once can travel across projects.
Sakura Poselib requires you to uninstall any older add-on versions before installing and activating this extension. It requests file permissions to save and load pose library data as JSON or CSV. Once set up, it replaces the old Blender pose library that was phased out in the Blender 3 series, letting you create, manage, apply, and export poses from a single panel in the 3D Viewport.
Sakura Poselib is listed as free here and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the latest licensing terms, version details, and source code, visit the developer's page on GitHub. Documentation is available in both English and Japanese, and the add-on supports importing poses from the old pose library, mmd_tools, and PMX Editor, so existing pose data can be brought in rather than rebuilt.
