XPS Pose Converter (Portable)

If you’ve ever worked with XPS/XNALara models and poses, you’ve probably experienced this problem — you load a pose made for one model onto another model, and nothing happens. The model stays in the default position, completely unaffected.

You think: “The pose is broken.” But the truth is: the pose is perfectly fine — the real problem is that the bone names in the .pose file don’t match the bone names in your model.

This is something many XNALara users don’t even realize — yes, you can actually rename bones in .pose files to make them compatible with other models.

In fact, this is the only way to transfer poses across different models properly. But here’s the catch: while it’s possible to rename bones manually, doing so is extremely boring, slow, and exhausting — especially when you need to do this again and again for dozens or even hundreds of .pose files.

The problem begins because different XPS models are made by different authors — and each author might name bones differently. One model might use:

pelvis

spine1

root

While another model might use:

hip_master

spine_upper

root_ground

These differences mean that when you apply a pose meant for Model A to Model B, the bone names in the .pose file don’t match the bones in Model B — and so the pose has no effect. The pose file isn’t broken — the bones simply don’t connect because of their names.

What many people don’t know is that .pose files are just text files. You can open them in Notepad and manually change the bone names line by line to match your model. But here’s where the real pain starts: even a small pose file may contain hundreds of lines. Animation .pose files can contain thousands. You can easily waste hours, even days, doing this manually — only to realize you need to do it again for the next set of files.

That’s why this tool — XPS Pose Renamer — was made. To save you from this nightmare forever.

With this tool, you only have to do one small manual step:

✔️ You create a simple bone mapping file, called a bonedict or something. This file tells the tool how to rename bones.

For example:

pelvis=hip_master

spine1=spine_upper

root=root_ground

so it means:

old=newone.

This is the only thing you need to write manually — once.

After that, the tool does everything else automatically (you can save the bonedict so you can use again in the future).

The features of XPS Pose Renamer:

• Mass Bone Renaming: Automatically renames bones in multiple .pose files at once—no need to edit each file manually.
• It renames every bone in every file based on your bonedict.
• It saves the converted files to your chosen folder.
• It can even reverse the mapping with a single click (perfect for creating mirrored left/right poses).
• You can also save and load bonedict files anytime — no need to recreate them for every project.

This means you’ll never have to manually open or edit .pose files ever again. Whether you’re converting 2 files or 200, the process is the same — simple, fast, automatic as long as the old bones are same with your bonedict. And best of all? The tool is completely free.
