Why we like it

XPose earns its spot in the superhive library by porting a familiar ZBrush behaviour to Blender: spreading the parts of a multi-part model apart so each can be studied on its own, with explosion and merger effects available too.

What is Xpose Addon For Blender3D (Like Zbrush Xpose Feature)?

XPose Addon for Blender3D brings the ZBrush XPose feature to Blender. Developed by fablesalive, the add-on moves the parts of multi-part models away from each other, so you can separate them and analyze each one on its own. With it you can also create explosion and merger effects.

Frequently asked questions

Does XPose work with Blender 4.2 and 4.1?

XPose lists support for Blender 4.2 and 4.1, and it is marked as Blender Extension compatible. If you are on one of those versions, it is listed as compatible. For versions outside 4.2 and 4.1, compatibility is not stated, so it is worth checking the developer's page before you install. The add-on also ships with documentation, which is useful when you are getting it set up and learning how the XPose separation works.

Does XPose need an angle value to work?

XPose works with an angle value. If you do not give an angle value, it behaves like the XPose feature in ZBrush, moving the parts of multi-part models away from each other so you can analyze them separately. This is the core of what the add-on brings from ZBrush to Blender. Alongside that separation, XPose can create explosion and merger effects. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Is XPose free, and what license does it use?

XPose is listed here as free, and it is distributed under a Creative Commons license. Licensing terms can change over time, so it is worth confirming the current license and any conditions on the developer's page before you use it in a project. The add-on is published by fablesalive and includes documentation. Because Creative Commons covers a family of licenses with different conditions, checking the developer's page is the safest way to see exactly which terms apply to XPose.

Can XPose create explosion and merger effects?

XPose can create explosion and merger effects. This sits alongside its main behaviour of moving the parts of multi-part models away from each other so you can analyze them separately, which is the same idea as ZBrush's XPose feature. If you do not give an angle value, XPose behaves like the ZBrush XPose feature. The add-on ships with documentation, and a demo video is available on the developer's page for a closer look at how these effects work.
