Hi! I'm primarily passionate about programming, which I've been doing for over a decade, but I'm also passionate about writing. Over the past few years, I've been developing my adult Visual Novel titled Our Home.
Over time, I've created various scripts and plugins to optimize my own workflow. I've started offering some of them here as products. Everything I sell on this profile is exactly what I personally use in my daily work, and I continue to improve them over time.

Another incredible utility, thank you so much for making Daz6 stuff!
Pose Guru for DAZ Studio 4 and 6
- What it does
Pose Guru scans your pose library, sorts every .duf by scope (Body, Hands, Feet, Face), posture, generation, gender, author, and your own categories, and adds real tools on top: a full Mirror tab, partial "apply to area" via a bone map, and a duplicate finder, all without moving, renaming, or changing a single file.
- Why Pose Guru
. It stays fast on a real library.
DAZ Studio's own browser stalls once you pass a thousand poses. Pose Guru is built for the opposite case: hundreds of thousands of poses, paged and loaded on demand, so scrolling and searching stay quick no matter how big your library grows.
. Sorted by what a pose actually does.
Poses are grouped by scope (Body, Hands, Feet, Face) and by posture (Standing, Sitting, Kneeling, and more), with your own categories as their own sections. Upper-body-only poses land in "Partial", and creature poses are pulled out under "Non-human", so nothing hides in the wrong pile.
. The right poses for the figure you have.
Filter by generation (Genesis 2 / 3 / 8 / 8.1 / 9), by gender, and by author. A Genesis 8 Female pose no longer gets buried among Male and other-generation poses. Turn on Auto and the generation filter follows whatever figure you select.
. Power tools most browsers do not have.
Mirror any pose left/right, apply a pose to only one arm or one leg, and find exact duplicate poses so you can clean house. These live right where you browse, not in some separate utility.
. Strictly read-only, always.
Pose Guru never moves, renames, or edits a single pose file. Its catalog lives in its own database, and every correction you make is stored as an override. Your library stays exactly as you left it.
---
- Everything it can do
. Organize and find
‥ Point it at any folder; every .duf is scanned, read for its joint data, and sorted by scope (Body / Hands / Feet / Face) and, for body poses, by posture. Re-organizing only reprocesses what changed.
‥ In Body, poses are grouped into collapsible sections (postures plus your categories). Sections start closed, and opening one closes the others, so you always have a clean overview.
‥ Upper-body-only poses (torso or arms, no legs) are grouped under "Partial (upper body)". Creature poses (Dog, Horse, Dragon, and so on) go under "Non-human", and a human pose that merely sits in a creature-named folder is not mislabeled.
‥ Refresh re-scans the folders you already organized to pick up newly installed poses, without choosing the folder again.
. Filters: generation, gender, author
‥ Generation filter: Genesis 2 / 3 / 8 / 8.1 / 9, with an Auto option that matches the filter to the figure you have selected.
‥ Gender filter (All, Female, Male, Unknown), because a pose built for Genesis 8 Female often does not fit Genesis 8 Male. Gender is detected from the file name and path, and refined from the DAZ database when you run Sync with DAZ.
‥ Author filter, read from each pose's own metadata, with a count next to each name. Pick one to see only that author's poses.
. Search
‥ Search by pose name to filter the visible grids. With "Search as I type" on, the search runs after a short pause once you have typed at least three characters, so a single letter never scans the whole library. Turn it off and search on demand with the button or Enter.
. Mirror (the Mirror tab)
‥ Mirror the selected figure's pose left/right: the whole pose, just the selected bone, or the selected bone and everything below it.
‥ Direction: Swap left/right, copy Left to Right, or copy Right to Left.
‥ Reset the selected bone, the bone and its children, or the whole pose back to rest.
‥ A clickable figure map: click a joint to select that bone. It works across generations and changes only the scene figure, never your files. Undo (Ctrl+Z) reverts it in one step.
. Apply to area
‥ Right-click any pose and choose "Apply to area": apply that pose to only the body areas you pick on the bone map (each joint covers its segment down to the next; "Select children" grabs the whole limb). The rest of the figure keeps its current pose. One undo.
. Find and clean duplicates (the Duplicates tab)
‥ Scan for exact duplicate poses (the same pose, byte-for-byte content), grouped together.
‥ Keep one and hide the rest in a single action per group.
‥ Hidden poses leave every list but are never deleted; a Hidden view brings any of them back. Nothing is ever removed from disk.
. Categories and Review
‥ Built-in activity categories recognized from the file name (Dancing, ‥ Walking, Action, and more), plus your own custom categories, each shown as its own section in Body.
‥ A Review tab lists poses to check: correct a pose's posture, assign a category, and mark it Reviewed. Corrections are saved as overrides and never touch the file.
‥ Sync with DAZ imports the categories you already set in the DAZ content database onto your poses, so you keep your existing organization. It reads the DAZ database only; it never writes to it.
. Favorites and quick access
‥ Favorites, a Recently used list of the poses you applied most recently, and an amber highlight on the very last pose you applied.
‥ Right-click any pose for the full menu: Apply pose, Apply to area, Add or remove from favorites, Set posture, Assign or remove category, Mark reviewed, and Open containing folder (reveals the .duf in Windows Explorer, with the file selected).
. Large preview toggle and a configurable page size.
. Read-only, guaranteed
‥ Pose Guru only reads your poses and the DAZ database. It never moves, renames, or modifies any file. Its own catalog is kept separately.
. Compatibility
‥ DAZ Studio 4.x e DAZ 6, Windows 64-bit only.
‥ It reads Genesis 2, 3, 8, 8.1, and 9 pose files, and works with other figures too.
What you get
The Pose Guru plugin, installed via EXE or by copying the plugin into your DAZ plugins folder (a one-line ReadMe explains it).
Its own dockable pane with the Guru icon in Window > Panes.
Notes:
1. Start small, then point it at your full library
Getting started: try a small folder first
Before you point Pose Guru at your whole library, organize a small subfolder that is inside your real pose folder (a couple dozen poses). In a few seconds you will see how Pose Guru scans, sorts, and displays your poses, and how the Mirror, Apply to area, and Duplicates tools work. When you are comfortable, organize the full folder: the test poses are simply re-scanned as part of it, with nothing left over.
Prefer a completely fresh start? Close DAZ Studio and delete Pose Guru's catalog file at `%USERPROFILE%\.poseguru\index.db` (for example `C:\Users\YourName\.poseguru\index.db`), then reopen and organize the folder you want. This clears only Pose Guru's catalog; it never touches your pose files.
Pose Guru is strictly read-only, so it never moves, renames, or changes any of your files, no matter which folder you point it at.
2. In active development, shaped by the people who use it
Pose Guru grows with its users
Pose Guru is actively developed, and real use drives what comes next. If something would make your workflow smoother, a new filter, a smarter sorting rule, or a tool you wish it had, tell us. The best improvements come from people using Pose Guru on real libraries and pointing out where it could go further.
