The MakeHuman Pose Animate Tab

The Pose/Animate tab contains the Skeleton, Pose and Expression subtabs. The Skeleton subtab is important if you are going to export your model to third party software such as blender for the purpose of animation or custom posing. Both the pose and expression subtabs will allow you to place your model in predefined poses and facial expressions to render inside of MakeHuman. You can also export your model with these poses and expressions applied. Subtabs Skeleton The skeleton subtab contains four menus, three on the left and one on the right. On the left you will see the Tag filter, Rig Info and Description menus, to the right is the Rig Presets menu. The tag filter menu will allow you to filter the rigs available in the right hand menu by selecting and deselecting radials, the Rig Info menu will show you how many bones each rig contains and the description menu describes the selected rig. The right hand menu is where you can apply a rig by left clicking on it, you can only have one ri

The MakeHuman Modelling Gender Subtab

The modelling gender subtab is where you can enhance gender specific portions of your model. This currently revolves around breasts, which is fine as unless you are producing a medical aid or an X rated model. The vast majority of models are not in need of modelling the genital areas. With the gender subtab open you will have two menus available. One to the left of the workspace with sliders relating to position and size of the breasts and one to the right of the workspace which offers two radial buttons to select between Breast and Genitals. The radial buttons in the right hand menu is where you choose between opening sliders in the left menu for either the breasts or genitals. In the default version of the software there is no use for the genitals sliders as they are inactive. The default mesh does not support genital development. The breast sliders are mainly for helping to form the female figure, but you are able to make changes to the male form as well. In the left hand breast me

The MakeHuman User Interface Toolbar Buttons Overview

The first time you run MakeHuman this is the screen you will see. For those of you unfamiliar with 3D modelling it may look daunting at first glance, however you will ultimately find it is very simple to navigate. The first thing you may notice is the human character in the centre of the screen. This is the default base mesh you will work with. It has no materials, such as skin, applied which is why it has a clay like appearance. You should think of it as a clay model of a human you will use multiple tools to sculpt and reshape. We will look at modelling in more detail latter, for now we will look at the Buttons across the the top of the screen. This will only be a brief look at the Buttons available, a more detailed look at each partition and the Tabs will be provided in future posts. Buttons File The first three buttons available in the toolbar along the top of the screen are the Load Save and Export buttons. These are considered the File buttons. Clicking any of these three buttons

The MakeHuman Geometries Tab

The geometries tab contains the Clothes, Eyes, Hair, Teeth, Topologies, Eyebrows, Eyelashes and Tongue subtabs. This is where you can add remove or change geometries of your model. Each subtab will open menus to the left and right of the model workspace. Subtabs Clothes The clothes subtab opens two menus to the left of the workspace, the options and the tag filter menus. The options menu has a radial, hide faces under cloths. When you apply some clothing to the model you may see parts of the model protruding through, activating this radial can assist with hiding those faces. The tag filter will allow you to focus on particular articles of clothing, this is very helpful once you have downloaded more clothing assets from the MakeHuman community. On the right of the workspace you will have a cloths menu, you can add and remove articles of clothing from you model by left clicking on an item. You will notice items which are active on the model will remain highlighted. You will also notice y

Where to Download MakeHuman Software

Make Human, or MakeHuman, is software to assist with creating human characters for animation in software like Blender or Unity. It is incredibly powerful, intuitive and easy to use. The MakeHuman Community have done an outstanding job with this open source software. Using MakeHuman to create a human character is not very different from personalising a character in a game like Ark or GTA. You simply manipulate sliders to achieve the look you are after, I am not sure it could be any easier. The software is also incredibly powerful in the multiple ways in which a character can be manipulated and personalised. With enough practice anyone should be able to create a likeness resembling almost any real world personality. If you are interested in modelling the human form this software is certainly worth having a look at. Not only will it produce a useable mesh for you to tweak further in Blender, it also has plugins for Blender and will rig your character with the bone system you select.
