IMVU Pose Maker

Build custom IMVU poses in your browser

A full 3D bone editor running in your browser. Click any joint, drag the gizmo, set keyframes on a real timeline. Export ready-to-upload .chkn, .xaf, or .xpf files. No Blender, no Maya — just a tab.

How it works

1

Load an avatar

Pick gender, drop in product IDs to dress the avatar exactly how you want.

2

Pose with the gizmo

Click any bone, rotate with the on-screen gizmo or numeric inputs. Mirror mode keeps left/right in sync.

3

Export

Download .chkn (full IMVU action), .xaf (body animation), or .xpf (head/morph). Ready to upload to IMVU.

What you get

Full bone editor

Every bone in the avatar's skeleton — click, drag, rotate, set keyframes. Color-coded by body part.

Real timeline

Set keyframes, easing curves, looping, playback speed. Build full animations, not just static poses.

Group poses

Load multiple avatars and pose them together. Formation presets keep them spaced cleanly.

Multi-format export

.chkn (full action), .xaf (body), .xpf (head/morph). Group exports drop one .xaf per avatar.

Mirror mode

Pose one side of the body, the other mirrors automatically. Symmetric poses in half the time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any external software?

No. Everything runs in the browser — Three.js + WebGL. No Blender, no Maya, no IMVU client.

Will my poses work in IMVU?

Yes. Exported .chkn files are valid IMVU action packages, ready to upload via Create Mode.

Can I import existing poses?

Yes. Upload .xaf or .xpf files and the editor loads them onto the current avatar.

Does Pose Maker work on mobile?

It works but a 3D bone editor is fundamentally a desktop tool. We've optimized the layout but for serious posing use a desktop.
