Notilus Dude — poseable human figure for Rhinoceros
← All products

Rhino draws the space.
Dude puts a person in it.

Drop a true-scale figure into the model and pose him with one click, a ring on any joint — or your own body in front of the webcam.

— What's inside

Pose a person, check the space.

More than a scale figure now: Camera Mirror, new pose presets and a native Rhino 8 build. Click any picture to see it large.

Pick a point. He is standing there.
01 · Placement

Pick a point. He is standing there.

The figure lands with his feet on the point you pick, at true human scale, as one grouped object. Place a whole crew — each one poses on its own.

02 · Camera Mirror · New

Strike the pose yourself. Dude follows you.

Stand in front of any webcam and the figure follows your arms, legs, head and torso, live in Rhino. Nod to keep the pose, shake your head to drop it — nothing leaves your computer.

Sit down, stand back up.
03 · Seat

Sit down, stand back up.

Hips and knees fold and the body lowers onto the seat in one smooth move. Run it again and he stands, back in his rest stance.

Can he actually reach it?
04 · Reach

Can he actually reach it?

Swing an arm forward at the galley, the locker or the console and see where the hand lands — left, right or both arms.

05 · T-Pose · New

Arms open, span checked.

Both arms open 90° to the sides — the reference stance for checking arm span between bulkheads and rails.

06 · Step · New

A foot on the step, sole flat.

Hip, knee and ankle all bend and the foot goes as far forward as it rises — 190 mm by default, anything from 10 to 1000 mm.

07 · Bend · New

Lean over the chart table.

The whole upper body leans forward from the hips — over a chart table, a bench or an open hatch. 30° by default, 5° to 90°.

08 · Walk · New

Set him walking.

A looping walk, arms swinging against the legs. Preview only — when you stop, the figure is back exactly as it was.

Turn the joint, not the part.
09 · Rings

Turn the joint, not the part.

Click a limb and X, Y and Z rings appear at its joint, lined up with the body. Drag one or type an angle — Shift snaps to 5°.

Pull a hand or a foot.
10 · Puppet

Pull a hand or a foot.

The whole limb bends to reach the cursor — shoulder, elbow and wrist — with a see-through preview. Every pose is one Ctrl + Z.

Put him where the crew will be.
11 · On board

Put him where the crew will be.

Stand him between the engines and pose him as a technician would — headroom, walkways and service access checked before anything is built.

Every pose on one small card.
12 · Control panel

Every pose on one small card.

Click any part of the figure and the Dude panel opens beside the viewport — poses above, settings below, values right on the row.
