Looking for an old post: a big-ass site with models in a gajillion different poses, meant to serve as a reference for practicing figure drawing. Anyone remember this?

"Art," "models" and "gajillion" have all somehow failed me as search keywords.

Was it this? I searched for "figure drawing" and limited results to www.metafilter.com

Weird. No, the one I had in mind was posted a while ago now. I didn't see that thing last week when it was posted. (But thanks for pointing me to it anyway!)

I think I know the site you are talking about, but I can't find it either. I recall it was black and white and had a strip of photos across the top. How about these instead...

I remember this too. I had predominately nudes if I recall. Most were just contact sheets of poses.

I remember something like that. I can't find it either. I wonder if it was linked from some askme post.

Is this the site you're referring to? I found it through mefi and use it myself, but can't find the original post now.

posemaniacs.com is cool, but I suspect you mean Silver's app Posebook.

This actually seems to be kind of a popular topic.

A site which offers things like that is 3D.sk . I used to use it when I was a professional 3D modeler.

... predominately nudes if I recall.

So, a big ass-site, then.

Try using different search engines that aren't using the same index (EG: Bing rather than duck duck go) because sometimes google doesn't index pages.

Posebook is new to me too. So, okay, this is a pretty common thing. I'm still irked I don't have a flawless memory for posts from umpteen years back, but between these other sites I don't think I really need to find the original one I was thinking of.
