# Pose → Emote

Pose a character, hit Export, and you get a ready-to-use FiveM emote. No 3D experience needed — about 5 minutes.

You'll need FiveOS and a FiveM server with **dpemotes** (most servers already have it). You don't need GTA V installed — FiveOS comes with its own character to pose.

## Steps

1. Open FiveOS and click **Emotes** on the left. Stay on **Pose → Emote**.

2. Click **GTA Male** to load the built-in character (the easy path).

3. A figure appears with colored dots on every joint. Click a dot to grab that joint.

4. Drag the colored rings that pop up to rotate the joint. Repeat until the pose looks right. **Mirror L→R** copies a left-arm pose to the right. **Reset** undoes everything.
5. Click **Export**, pick a short lowercase name like `mywave`, and save. That name is what players type in-game: `/e mywave`.
6. Install it — see [**EXPORT\_TO\_FIVEM.md**](/fiveos-docs/guides/export_to_fivem.md).

## Want it to move?

1. Pose the character, then click **+ KF** in the timeline at the bottom.
2. Drag the slider forward, change the pose, and click **+ KF** again.
3. Hit **Play** to preview. Add as many poses as you like, then Export.

## Tips

* The dots are color-coded by body part (green = left arm, orange = right arm, and so on).
* Hotkeys: **R** rotate, **W** move, **E** scale.
* Need a prop (phone, beer, etc.)? Use the **Prop** section in the sidebar to attach one before you export.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://fiveos.gitbook.io/fiveos-docs/guides/pose_to_emote.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
