Posmania

Posemaniacs is a site offering 3D, rotatable figures in a variety of poses for drawing. It has a program that chooses random poses and gives you a time limit to draw them and a perspective editor that makes guidelines for one-point perspective.
Though most of the site is in Japanese, the Google translation is pretty understandable.

Wow. I've been fiddling with this non-stop for the last twenty minutes.
So, you're the one slowing it down to an unusable crawl!

That's really neat. It's a better ecorche model than I've seen other places. Does anybody know where it's from? The iPhone app works pretty good but the images could use a bit Higher resolution. Thanks for posting it.
Anyone who's pursuing this type of figure study might also enjoy the collection of images at The Masters of 20th Century Figure Sculpture:

If anything, bonobothegreat's link is even better. I agree that higher-res images would be nice on Posmania. I guess they'd slow up the interface too much.

The most helpful part of Posemaniacs (for me) is the auto-advance feature that makes them rotate at a set interval—great for working fast and using gesture. Also great for those learning figure drawing is Practical Anatomy.
