Slightly modified version...
I find her poses useful, but not all that realistic at times. Nice first image, what pants are those?
The expressions by them are the best, they have icons on the sliders to show you what it looks like before having to dial it in lol.
Thanks. The clothes are from https://www.daz3d.com/london-look-for-genesis-8-females
So Zediccuss is a team of people. It explains, why is that so many items from them.
Another hilarious set is https://www.daz3d.com/z-household-chores-cooking-for-genesis-8
I like it very much.
I just used they as a gender neutral, because I don't know for sure if male or female and people get pissed these days sometimes if you use the wrong one lol
Sometimes effort and care has gone into the poses, other times they look strained and unnatural. When that’s the case, the poses might at least be a starting point to begin one’s own refinements. Problem is, the pricing usually seems to be the same.
That is how I see all poses: as a starting point, saving me a lot of the crude work of getting arms and spine and whatnot mostly in the right general direction. From that point, it's always tweaking to get things lined up with other assets (not all chairs are the exact same height for example), figures, and have the eyes (and sometimes also the head, which means more tweaking to the neck and spine) look in the direction I want them to look. Outside test renders, it's very rare for me to use a pose as-is. Still, Zeddicus' poses do often make good starting points, or at least are very inspirational for creating a scene.
Yeah, I rarely use a pose out of the box either. Finding one that is sorta close is a lot faster to pose than from default A pose.
They're a couple, here's their bio:

Thanks, Taoz. I did not know about their story - great to know.
By the way, does anyone know which outfit or outfits are used on Zeddicuss' new Z Magic Fairy poses?
I believe its a kit bash . The wings, shorts, leg deco and mayve the belt. I am pretty sure comes from this set
https://www.daz3d.com/fairy-outfit-for-karyssa-8-and-genesis-8-female-s
the top and the rest not so sure
I'm pretty sure they are a husband & wife team unless they have expanded further. They have been around a long time, dating back to V4 days on Renderosity.
Top and belt look like the ones from this set retextured
The other favorite is https://www.daz3d.com/z-artists-muse-environment-and-poses
Below is a pose with props applied to Rynne 8 - https://www.daz3d.com/rynne-8
Pose packages are never ever ever going to be perfect and I doubt any PA is capable of making them as such when given the fact that poses don't take into account the resulting changes in body shape from applying morphs. I could be wrong, but I think in order for something like this to be feasible, you would probably have to apply the pose(s) first, then apply the morphs, and finally have some kind of dial system that can be applied to the pose(s) that is dependent on the difference between a given base model and the added morphs. They would have to do this for each & every unmorphed base model. That's a buttload of math, particularly 3d trig and calculus, and technically we already do this manually by eye-balling & adjusting twist, bend, side-side, etc., on limbs and such. It would be one hell of a project, that's for sure.
Yes—that is the main outfit I was interested in. Thanks very much!
Thanks, Leana. That's definitely the other set used. It's nice outfit so I will probably buy that now.
Another favorite set from Zeddicuss - https://www.daz3d.com/z-grand-piano-and-poses-for-genesis-3-and-8
... and one more render with z-grand-piano used.
Many of the poses work quite well as a starting pose and then I customize them further according to the current needs.
Below I have used for such purpose one of the poses included in https://www.daz3d.com/z-photo-booth-and-poses-for-genesis-3-and-8
Also used:

"Sorry, but we do not have a coffee at the moment."
"No problemo. Tea, please."
You have big thanks from me, Zedd! I have tons of your poses from both Daz and Renderosity.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make flat feet poses in your products. It saves me time and I don't have repose the feet. Thank you.
Keep up the great work and we'll keep buying your poses!
I have noticed, that Zeddicuss has already published more than 500 products in Daz 3D store.
To celebrate this, I have created the render posted below.
I have used again one of the pose set from https://www.daz3d.com/z-real-conversation-poses-partials-and-expressions-for-genesis-3-and-8
Zeddicuss products are magnificent
