Lately, I've been looking at a lot of 3D human characters outside of the "Poserverse". I've come to the conclusion that everyone else has a different idea of the best default position than we do.

The position shown in the picture seems to be almost a universal default outside of Poser/DAZStudio (Max, Maya, etc)...legs spread, arms down around 45 degrees.

The question I have is why do we do it different than everyone else?...why do we use the "T pose"? What makes it better (or worse) than the way everyone else does it?

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
