About Sakura Poselib

Sakura Poselib is a pose library add‑on for Blender, created by Kafuji to replace the old pose library phased out in the Blender 3 series. It enables creation of pose data from the current armature, categorisation, batch renaming, and application of poses with sliders that behave like Shape Key influences. Poses can be keyed directly in the animation timeline and saved to files for reuse across models. The add‑on imports poses from the previous pose library, mmd_tools, and PMX Editor, and can export to mmd_tools, CSV, or VPD formats for MMD workflows. The interface appears in the Sakura tab of the 3D Viewport side panel and supports both English and Japanese. It is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later. Users upgrading from earlier versions should uninstall the prior add‑on before installation.
