Hey All!

I’m trying to create a story board and want to use stick figures that have easy to move arms & legs.  I know there are vector packs out there, although I’d much rather find an option where we can pivot leg or arm sections at these shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips.

Do you know of anything like this which exist for Miro?

Hi @Bill Bensing 

Sadly I don’t know any in Miro, but you might have a look at this: https://www.openpeeps.com/.

Hi @Bill Bensing,

 

Welcome to the community! 😊 Miro currently doesn’t have built-in stick figures with movable joints like arms or legs that pivot at specific points. However, here are a few workarounds:

  1. You can create a basic stick figure using shapes (like circles for heads or joints) and lines (for limbs). Then, group these parts together. When you need to move an arm or leg, ungroup, adjust, and regroup.

  2. Sometimes, community members share templates with similar assets. Check Miroverse (Miro's template library) to see if anyone has posted a storyboard or character-building template that could fit your needs.

  3. Miro also supports SVG file format but as a solid image only. If possible, you can try uploading your movable objects as GIF since this is supported by MIro and can be used on the board during collaboration.

Hopefully, one of these options will help bring your storyboard to life! Let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you so much for this!  I’m now discovering a whole new world I didn’t know existed.

Eca, 

Thank you for listing these options!

My next move is to do your #1.  I ways playing with the line tool and realized that, because of the middle dot of the line, it’s fairly easy to make different arm movements.

Cheers, 

Bill
