Content note: the sexy and duo series are suggestive adult pose references (faceless mannequins, no nudity detail). They stay out of previews and search pages, and the gallery shows them blurred until you tap one or flip the switch.
Shisei is a self-made pose reference library. Every pose is a faceless mannequin drawn from five angles — front, three-quarter, side, above and below — so you can feed the same pose to an image model from whichever camera you need. Names and categories come in Japanese, Chinese, English and Korean.
All images are original to this project.
| Series | Poses shown | Views that passed QC | On the site |
|---|---|---|---|
Full body · standard (std, P###) |
71 of 73 | 300 / 365 | shown |
Upper body (upper, U###) |
80 of 80 | 359 / 400 | shown |
Full body · sexy (sexy, S###) |

Poses rated suggestive (the sexy and duo series, upper's Sexy and Chest emphasis) are blurred in the gallery by default and kept off
the marquee, pose pages, share cards and sitemap; tap one to see it, or one switch shows them all.
- Every view is reviewed (docs/qc/). A view that fails (nipple marks, a face or hair,
clothing, background, broken anatomy, the wrong camera angle, a figure that reads as a minor, or a drawing that is not
the named pose) is removed
from
images/and the catalog, anddata/qc.jsonkeeps the reason. - 43 sets were redrawn by a second generator where the original had at most two usable views or showed another pose
(catalog
source: digi, a slightly different mannequin with milder high and low angles; whole sets, never mixed). P038 and P052 still show a different pose from their name and stay hidden. - Views that were never generated stay empty rather than being filled with a bad drawing.
- 89 photo renders for std P001–P022 and P050 (P019, P020 and P022 are off: they show the old drawing), reviewed like the line art: AI-generated adults, not real people.
- Clay, depth and normal maps for 944 of the line views (270 sets), made from the line art and pixel-aligned with it: a grey mannequin with volume and shading, and depth and normal maps for ControlNet. Reviewed like the rest; the lightbox switches between them.
data/catalog.json/catalog.csv: series, rating, category and name in four languages, an English pose description for std, the file for each view, and why a view is empty.
Upload a view as the pose or composition reference in your image tool. Using several angles of the same pose keeps the figure consistent across shots. Face, clothing and background come from your prompt or other references.

The repository holds the three web tiers: about 145 MB for the poses (line art, photos and the clay, depth and normal maps), plus about 150 MB for the costume library. The full-size originals and ready-made zips are on the Releases page; most people only need a zip.
v0.4.1, the same files the gallery's download panel offers. Every zip is the 900 px tier of the views that passed QC (the originals excepted), with LICENSE, LICENSE-images and NOTICE; a .sha256 sits next to each. Most people only need the line-art zip. Clay, depth and normal have no originals: they are 900 px to begin with.

web/ is a zero-dependency static gallery built from the catalog: series tabs with categories inside a
series, an angle filter, a line-art / photo switch, a by-pose or single-image view, a switch that unblurs the
suggestive series, a lightbox with keyboard and swipe navigation and a line-art / photo / compare mode, a page per
pose, four UI languages and a dark theme. The spec is in docs/DESIGN.md.

The pose list — which poses, their numbering (orig_id), names and categories — follows the public catalog of
ai-pose-gallery by ギア (@giaaibusi); the Chinese, English and Korean names are translations of it. Thank you. Only the list
is shared: every image here was made for this project. Shisei is not affiliated with or endorsed by its author.
Every image was made for this project; none are copied, traced or derived from other pose collections. The figures are mannequins or AI-generated adults and do not depict real people. Do not use them to depict real people or minors, or for explicit content. Image metadata is stripped.
