Title: Make Human....a man, to help you render
Post by: TheBadger on January 16, 2015, 12:49:22 AM
No textures or any stuff like that. Just use it as a population to help you better see the scale and distances of your scenes while test rendering.
Made just for you guys in 12 seconds via "makehuman". No charge ;)

See ya.


Oh, yeah, make sure you adjust how tall the man is to something that makes sense to you. With the hat  ;D I usually make my scale helpers 6 feet tall. But I dont know how tall this guy really is, did not think about it till just now.



ok, see ya.

Looks like a fast-draw situation... with a looot of angles to cover for any given shooter. ;)

LOL, oh man Oshyan. That just gives me so many funny ideas to waste time on. 'Meathead Rob Lowe' like ( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6ShG5qIMAAnUAr.jpg:large ) in a Mexican standoffoffoffofffff... It goes on till everyone dies.

The two on the right side are stuck in a loop. The one says "WHats up! (all wantabe gangster like) and the other says the same... and it just goes on like that for days, until the one or the other falls.

:D

Nice. I'd use it with Mr_Lamppost's grid pack (http://www.mrlamppost.com/tg2/guides/scale.htm), which I find invaluable.

Just dl'd it so haven't installed it yet so maybe you can answer a few queries up front.

1. does it have texturing ability?...I see it exports U/V mapping

2. does it have a posing editor?

That's about it for now. If it does these things it's well worth installing and even if it only poses and not make textures it's still worthy of an install for me.

There were links in the community forum Bobby.
And to answer your questions:
There are simple textures for eyes and clothing etc.
No posing capabilities,just some rigs for use with progs like
maya and poser and maybe Daz Studio.

J is right Bobby.
But you don't really need to search open though. Its been updated since then. And also, there are no tuts or anything there. Mostly just talk if we liked it or not and why, stuff like that.

The UVs seem pretty good to me. Nice even quads. Both Male and female (including anatomically correct (sort of)) but it all starts like Manson basically: http://images3.mtv.com/uri/mgid:file:docroot:vh1.com:/sitewide/flipbooks/img/shows/the_greatest/50_greatest_albumcvrs/marilynmanson.jpg?enlarge=false&matte=true&matteColor=black&quality=0.85 with less hair.

And like J said, you cant pose yet (but I think you will be able too eventually)  the rigging is quite nice and you get several options.
Its more of a really fast way to build pretty detailed base models for further development in other soft.

It is among the easiest 3D softs I have ever used. Much faster then DAZ, for example. But for the time being you are still totally limited to quadruped humanoids, and if you want to change that then you will really need another software too. In that case though, the rigs are pretty much worthless.

Thanks all, sorry if I did a bad without searching but thought I was up to date on stuff like that here...

Do I read that right? Can you export them as rigged, what, FBX maybe? And perhaps pose them in DAZ?

from the Load and Save in the docs there:
Exporting Files (Mesh Formats: .dae, .mhx, .fbx, obj, Ogre3D, .MD5, .stl)
Files are Exported using either the Quick Export icon or by directly choosing the File tab and the Export subtab.

The Export window allows you to export your current MakeHuman project to one of a variety of export formats. Supported formats including Collada (DAE), Blender exchange (mhx), Filbox (fbx), Wavefront (obj), Id Software (MD5), and Sterolithography (stl).  By default, exported files (regardless of export format) are saved to the user directory %HOMEPATH%/Documents/makehuman/v1/exports/.    As is true for the load and save tabs, the ellipsis can be used to export to a non-standard directory/folder.  After selecting a format and export options, type the name of your project in the input box at the center of the Export window  and then click the Export button at the right hand side of the input box.

MakeHuman, itself, can not read any of the exported formats, so exporting is a one way transfer of information.  If you expect to do further refinement of your model, make sure you also save it in .mhm format.

Thanks again, Bobby. Something to dive into again.
