How To Easy Pose Your Ragdolls!

A few easy steps to pose your ragdolls like they are a player!

What You Will Need

Now, all you really need is Rag Morph to do this, but there are some things you may want to add: Bone Merger, Customisable Thirdperson (Helps you see better when in Rag Morph mode), Ragdoll Resizer, Easy Bodygroup Tool, Model Manipulator, and Metropolice Pack (Great for posing!)

Lets Start

Now, I will go step by step on what you need to do:

1. Pick the model you wish to pose (Normal is C)

2. Kill yourself to change your model (Easy way is to go into console and type "kill")

3. Open menu (Normal is Q button)

4. Click on the Rag Morph tab on your right side of the screen

5. Go into Rigging and select all you wish to be able to move (If you want a pose more playerlike, don't do anything)

6. Go up to Commands and click Rag Morph Mode ON when ready

Pose Time

Here is the easy part, Simply find where you wish your ragdoll to be, and pose! (Like hold a gun of some kind or crouch) Then while crouching or whatever, open the menu again and click Freeze Rag Morph!

Once you have done that, you will need to get out your Duplicator and copy or save the ragdoll you just made. Why you ask? well, if you plan to add guns to it or any other kind of tool gun stuff you need to copy it, as in Rag Morph mode you can only really add ropes to it.

Once you have copyed it or saved it, go get it from your My Dupes and spawn it!

Oh by the way, when you have spawned it, you can go back to the Commands menu and click Unfreeze Rag Morph and then click Rag Morph Mode OFF so you can make more if you want!

Editing Your Art

Here comes in the fun! If you plan to add a gun or a prop to your ragdoll, your going to need to use No Collide on the ragdoll, and the prop of choice.

Now, simply grab the prop and place it where ever you want to place it on the ragdoll!

If your like me, you will most likely notice that your ragdoll does not hold the gun or prop how you want it to. To fix this its really easy, just move the parts you need to move!

Oh, and if your still not pleased with it and need to move the prop in a simple and easy way, use the Drive command on the prop!

Also, if you want to move your ragdoll without having to place another copy of it, just use the Make Statue command on it! But if you already put the prop or gun in place, weld the prop or gun onto the ragdoll, like its hands or legs! Also after you Make Statue a ragdoll, to unfreeze it, look at it with your Physics Gun and press the reload button. (Normal is R)

Finish Your Art Work

Now, add what you need to make your photo look amazing, and show it off to the world! Here is a example below!

Feel free to leave comments! I will check all of them, and im positive on that!

@WehKings
Yeah I made this years ago and there are a lot of things I wish I did differently (specifically using a different gun for the Metro Cop), but I think just about everything shown can still be used to get realistic poses for scenes. However, I also think some new mods have come out since with the same idea I had, but better results, as they were built from the ground up for posing.

TL;DR
Everything in this guide can still be used today, but I'm betting $20 there is now an easier way to do all this. Thanks for reading my guide though!

@War is Hell
Select it with the Duplicator tool, then go to the dupes menu and save it.

I covered this in Pose Time on the Guide Index.

If you wish to dupe the ragdoll along with whatever items are featured with it, simply weld them to the ragdoll before using the Duplicator tool.

@Jäger In a earlyer build of the mod, It would work with body groups. I did not make the mod, and have no idea why they changed this, I think an update forced them to remove it, but I could be very wrong.

[Belkan]

For what I saw, it doesn't work with bodygroups. Or am I missing something?

Thanks so much! I've been trying to pose a ragdoll for the longest time!
