# Proxy Pose

Posing geometry is optimal when done at lower resolutions. **Proxy Pose** creates a temporary, low-resolution proxy version of a model, offering the optimal surface topology necessary for posing and transforming.

Changes made to a **Proxy Pose** model get applied back to the source model without loss of high-resolution, sculpted details.
