If you want tips

The best you can get is: utilise the gmod post processing effects. They can be so beautiful sometimes and is what sometimes can make the difference between what is a seemingly bland pose, to something nice.

Another tip is to find a good camera angle and use it to zoom in as far as you can without actually taking anything vital away from the pose, just use it to remove empty space.

Another one, which imo is extremely important which is to use lights. A pack which can enhance the gmod lights can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=111396485 (there's many like it but I use this pack) the default gmod lights and lamps work fine but afaik there's also a light pack on the steam workshop.

If you can, use models from facepunch as they're usually much higher resolution than those on the workshop, if you need help installing them hmu on steam and I'll give you a tutorial in downloading them and putting them into the gmod folder.

Going back on the post processing effect tip, here's an example.

Now, these aren't the greatest poses in the world but it shows what only a few tools that gmod can offer to make your poses look decent. The ones I have on the top poster is: Colour Correction, Bloom and SDof. I see lot's of people using toy town and depth of field for poses but don't, it makes them look cheap imo.

Though, I'm still a learner and these were some tips that really helped me out.

Also, phys gun is superior to any tools like ragdoll mover. It just gets more natural looking poses.............
