dont i see it or is it missing inverse kinematics? from my experience people will want this desperately.

It is a highly requested feature. I just seem to have painted myself into a corner dev wise, and it's a pretty difficult feature to build without significant re-architecture. It's on my to-do list though.

How is this any better than a Blender file with a rigged human model?

Ease of use.

Because of a lack of features? It doesn't even have IK so I would argue Blender is in fact easier to use (as in, will get you to the result faster even if you need a bit more time to learn the interface).

This has pre-built poses, props and a bunch of other easy to use features. This is classic hacker-news ‘Less intuitive and more complicated X is better because I already know how to use X’

I must have spent a hundred hours in Blender over the years, and I'm still not competent enough to do even some of the most basic things on my own when I pick it up.

Blender is an amazing project, but I would not suggest it as an alternative to OP's tool if asked by someone who practices drawing and has zero Blender experience or interest.

Literally just ease of use. Blender you have to learn to use, whereas JSM is built to be pick-up-and-go for even the least tech-savvy users.

Try get a non technical artist to pick up Blender and work out a rigged human model.

first question why: where do you get a rigged human models with the same level of detail, for free ?

Would be cool, if you could upload the scene into image gen. model and it would create picture for you but with hard defined objects from the scene.

You know, for us people who can't draw a ... nothing :)

(I still support creative people though)

HermanMartinus•2h ago

It's entirely possible to export an image of the scene and upload that to your genAI of choice.

Creator of JustSketchMe here! I was very surprised to see this on HackerNews this morning. Very cool to see this doing the rounds 6 years into running this :)

Cute little app, very nice

wateralien•1h ago

Very nice. Well done :) I could have used this a lot when I was an Art Director in advertising sketching storyboards all day long. I guess these days Art Directors are just asking AI to do it?

Incredibly fun to play around with it, and really incredible mobile web support..! Two finger dragging worked without interfering with the browser’s usual handling of it.

Super cool, congrats! I was just reminiscing about the old school https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poser_(software) software recently, wondering if there were other contenders in the space.

Cheers

Thanks, it also runs well as a PWA. It's Threejs under the hood, plus some rendering optimisation to ensure it performs well in mobile browsers.

Cool stuff, but I'll bet a lot of folks will use it to act out their Id.

Incredible mobile support. Very well done.
