A-Pose

Also known as: A-ポーズ, Aポーズ

A pose shaped like the capital letter "A", where the arms are held straight out and angled downwards from the sides of the body.

This is more relaxed than a T-Pose or Outstretched Arms, but less relaxed than Arms At Sides where the arms simply hang against the torso due to gravity.

You often see this pose in a few contexts, for example:

• A character showing off an outfit.
• A character posed similarly to a Sailor Moon magical-girl style Transformation scene or the like where the character appears to be relaxed, but floating.

The name comes from 3D modelling as an alternative to the more common T-Pose. The A-pose allows for the shoulders to be modeled and textured in a more natural position, and the defined angle can aid in rigging.
