Screenshot & Pose Studio (TransPose) 📸

Version 1.0 — out of beta. (huge update!)

Stage your character, your raid group, your mounts and your battle pets in one real 3D scene. Pose them frame by frame, set the camera, drop in a backdrop, and capture a clean screenshot with no HUD, no nameplates, and nobody's mount jumping through your shot. TransPose is a full photo mode for WoW — a screenshot studio, character posing tool, in-game camera, transmog showcase and roleplay scene builder, all running inside the game.

Think FFXIV's GPose, built for Azeroth. 📸

You don't need Blender, you just need WoW.

For years, the good WoW character art came from leaving WoW. Export the model, wrestle it into WoW Model Viewer or Blender, rig it, render it, then composite the whole thing back together in Photoshop. That's a real skill, four programs, and a weekend you were going to spend playing the game.

TransPose collapses that pipeline into the game itself. Open the studio, build the shot, press the button. No 3D-modeling skills required!

✨ Features

• 🎭 Stage a full cast: place up to 30 figures in one 3D scene with real depth and spacing — your character, raid group, mounts, and battle pets.
• 🐺 Auto-saves special forms: records and restores your Druid, Worgen, and Dracthyr transformations so they're ready to pose.
• 🎚️ Precise transform controls: move, depth-shift, rotate (yaw/pitch/roll), and scale every figure, with per-axis locking so nothing drifts.
• 🎥 Full camera system: field-of-view and distance controls, freeze locks, orbit/spin/zoom, and one-click auto-framing.
• 📷 In-game camera button: an optional floating shutter that lives on your screen. One click snaps your current target into the studio and opens it. Draggable, resizable, hides during combat, and fully toggleable in settings.
• 🖼️ Any backdrop you want: studio solids including green and blue screens, in-game locations, class/faction scenes, or the live game world behind your cast.
• 🎬 Browsable animations: read the whole list in a scrolling window, or search it by name. Star your favorites then step frame-by-frame
• 🐉 A huge cast to draw from: a bundled library of 13,000+ figures by display id — creatures, NPCs and even world props (plants, portals, banners) — searchable by name and type, plus dungeon and raid bosses straight from the Encounter Journal (labelled and searchable by their raid), mounts, and battle pets.
• 🐺 Keeps everyone's form: records and restores your Druid, Worgen and Dracthyr transformations, and lets you set a groupmate's body too
• ⌨️ Fast controls: a minimap button and studio-only keyboard shortcuts (play/pause, move, depth, cycle figures, capture, reset) that only bind while the studio is open.
• 💾 Clean export: capture straight to JPEG, PNG or TGA.

🆕 New as of 1.4 

Importing your raid and compose a dynamic shot with one button!

• 🎬 Browse all animations — Search it, sort it A-Z, or narrow it to what the selected figure can actually use
• ⭐ Star the ones you use — pinned animations get their own view, so the poses you always come back to are two clicks away.
• 🐉 Put a groupmate in the right body — a dracthyr in your party was staged in their visage every time. You can now set any figure's body by hand.
• 🔄 Take back a wrong Display ID — mistype one for an NPC and it used to stick for good. Right-click the capture and pick Forget display ID; do it while stood next to the creature
• 🎲 Choose: Happy, Sad or Combat — every figure is dealt a different animation from that mood, each frozen at a different moment in the clip
• 🔁 Reroll — press again for a completely different take. It's way faster to spin the wheel a few times and keep the one you like than to compose forty figures by hand
• 👥 Bunch them together — the cast is also pulled into a tighter, slightly irregular huddle so it reads as a group of people rather than a police lineup. Switch it off if you've already arranged the scene by hand.

Also new since 1.0:

• 🫥 Hide me in the world — shooting against the live game world can hide your player character for better shots. Your character comes back automatically when you close the studio.
• 🖼️ Seven more backdrops — Val'sharah, Suramar, Nazmir and Ashenvale, plus three shop panels.
• 🏰 Classic builds — Classic Era, Burning Crusade Anniversary and Mists of Pandaria Classic, each with a creature catalog filtered to the models that actually exist in that version.

What people shoot with it

• 🧥 Transmog showcases:
• 👥 Guild and raid group photos 
• 🎭 Roleplay scenes and character portraits 
• 🐉 Mount and battle pet portraits 
• ⚔️ Boss confrontation shots 
• 🖼️ Wallpapers, profile pictures, guild banners, stream overlays, and reference images for artists.

🔮 Please look forward to…

Already in the works for future updates:

• 🕺 Pre-saved poses — a growing library of ready-made poses to drop onto any figure.
• 🌄 More & better backdrops — richer environments to shoot against.

Compatibility

• World of Warcraft Retail (patch 12.0.7+)
• Classic (BETA): Classic Era (1.15), Burning Crusade Anniversary (2.5), and Mists of Pandaria Classic (5.5). Download the matching Beta file for your client.
