Why poses matter
Paint gets you close — pose sells the disguise by matching object shape and size.
Every pose changes your hitbox outline. A standing player on a flat wall is obvious; a wall-lean pose that matches a painting frame can survive full sweeps.
Switch poses during prep before you finish painting so colors align with the final silhouette.
Wall lean poses
- Best for gallery frames, banners, and hallway edges
- Keep limbs inside the frame border you painted
- Pair with vertical shadow gradient on legs
- Avoid leaning past corner edges — limbs stick out
Floor flat poses
- Strong on checkered floors and kitchen tiles
- Paint horizontal pattern lines across torso before flattening
- Head and feet are common white-patch failures — cover them last
- Seekers crouch-scan — ensure top-down view still matches
Crouch & tuck poses
- Under counters, tables, and low shelves
- Sample shadow color from the underside of the surface above you
- Minimize height — tall crouch reads as a blob
- Kitchen and warehouse maps reward low hides
Pose selection checklist
- Does the pose match a real object shape within 1–2 meters?
- Are all limbs inside the painted pattern area?
- Does shadow direction still match after posing?
- Can a Seeker see your outline from the main doorway?
