Sounds like you are “fact-fluid” ...

@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 - Uhhhmmmm -no, he's actually right on target, except the word in this context would be "androgynous" , and yes his "facts" are correct, as the distinguishing characteristic of the subject of his comment is the generally unidentifiable gender, not the transitional nature of a personal choice. All the best to all - C.

I live in San Francisco, I hear 'gender fluid' daily, NEVER heard of 'androgyn' ??

@@chuckintexas Gender Fluid is a perfectly ubiquitious term here in California...

@@NextWorldVR - I'm going to do you a favor. I have NO interest in embarrassing you, and haven't intended that in ANY of my responses. So: Go look up "ubiquitous", kinda focus on the PROPER definition of the word, and re-think your response. You'll discover that just because something is used ubiquitously doesn't make that usage correct. I'll leave it to YOU to decide what it means to the group using it incorrectly. To THAT point, tho, JUST because you live in La, and don't PERSONALLY recall the correct use of the words we're discussing, doesn't make it correct. It DOES, however, reveal a couple of OTHER things you might NOT want folks to connect with you or those you may associate with, and I don't want that for you or them either. So go ahead - put some REAL thought into it, and go see what you can do with your new understanding. 'sall good - ALL the VERY BEST and Good luck - C.

Found it!

With MakeTarget and using MakeCLothes to create alternative geometries you can make MH pull its weight even if you are using very stylized models. Basically if you do a base geometry you can use it as the foundation for MH and if you need additional deformations you can import them to MH as well. What I'd like to see is make armature and support for alternate geometries for MakeClothes and MakeTarget, at that point you can really go crazy with a wide range of creature types, each of which can be morphed in various ways. If you want to do that now, you will have to edit code to make the armatures work.

I use the characters from make human to sculpt the new characters. This way is faster than creating the base characters by myself in my opinion.

I use it to get the basic shape then bring it into zbrush.

Well yeah but DAZ is only free as long as you work inside of it and accept the limitations that it has and if you want to export your work outside DAZ you can't. DAZ is propriety software and not cheap one were Make Human is free so what else could you possibly want? Want it to be better then go create some nice content for it ;)

there was manuel bastoni lab but developement stopped due to not enough funding / support or something but that was pre 2.8

No, it doesn't. The software is a capable 3d modelling software, not a "character creator".

​@@BlazertronGames MakeHuman was a plugin INSIDE Blender, There is a Tree, Architect etc.. ways for easy start point, so why not a Realistic Character like in DAZ3D Photorealistic Genesis 8 generation? I don't want to compare it specificly to Daz3D but it's a good example, Render in DAZ3D with iRay is slow, animation in DAZ3D is almost impossible with their limited timeline, even their "plugins" are ancient and not that good. but their Base Models for Genesis 8 is the most Realistic and dynamic one. (I'm talking about the free base-model you can morph and tweak, not the purchase that are even more crazy realistic). Blender 2.8 is now splited to tabs, like different workflows, one of them could be a Character Creation Tab for a good starting point, it will be a great addition for beginners or people who want to manipulate a quick character and rig it using the upcoming new and improved Rigify (which is INSANLY POWERFUL now with the separate limbs option). I don't say it's a MUST, but I think it can help encourage people to try Blender, it will be very inviting to have a dedicated character creation tab instead of moving from Daz3D or MakeHuman or Reallusion CharacterCreator or Adobe's Fusion etc.. just inside Blender 2.8x as a future option, I believe it can be VERY USEFUL for so many people: Create a base (photorealistic or cartoony) Character > Manipulate / Morph / Change it, Apply, start rig using Rigify and animate all inside Blender... and with EEVEE OMG! the fast workflow now is even more attractive! If any Blender Dev would read this, it may spark some ideas and inspiration... I don't think any Blender User won't be curious to try out such feature inside Blender! Sorry about my bad English.

@@MrDanINSANE Well it should stay as a plugin, I'd rather the software be simpler, than having a ton of things built in.

you legend...

You're correct.

And MBLab was actually more anatomically correct than MakeHuman, it's too bad he pulled the plug on it just like that after one attempt at funding on facebook alone.

Yes. www.makehumancommunity.org/content/downloads.html

Thanks

Had i caught the news as it happened, I would have certainly made a video at the time. It went so far under by radar (and almost everyone else's) because the author was so quite and quick about shutting things down. Had he publicly announced a Patreon or fund raising campaign I would have certainly spread that news as well. The entire affair just happened so oddly and at the point I knew, it was a few weeks later and technically old, if mostly unknown, news.

@@gamefromscratch Yes, it was a bit of a miscalculation on his part. I think if only he opened up to the community a bit more (forum or anything) things would have worked out much better, just asking community how they would like to fund the project would crash the servers, but there was no way to get in touch with the developer. And not everyone even heard of it, I had to show it to my friends and others during a gamejam because they only heard about MakeHuman but never about Bastioni Lab or how the two products are related. And I would probably have bought it back then if there was a way to support it (add to my collection of HairTool, SceneCity, etc) and since I was out of the gamedev for a while I was chocked to hear the sad news.

Because it is a one year old link? Try download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/

Truth told, there is probably no point. You saw the software in this video, its really quite straight forward to use. What would you want to see covered?

It's Super easy to use this software. There isn't really a point doing tutorials.

It's kinda like creating a character in a RPG game like Skyrim or a MMO, it's really simple and useful, the only downside is that you get somewhat generic characters

@@gamefromscratch Maybe you can make import export tutorial for game engines. Such as makehuman to Unreal Engine tutorial which can be extended by using bvh motion capture inside engine. You can make multiple instances of this format. Create a character export it to a game engine. Use this exported asset with motion capture data inside game engine. You can use simple animations like walking, running, jumping, shooting.

@@gamefromscratch that was a BOT comment.

Here is an idea, create a basic mesh of a car or a human, etc and save it. And anytime you want to make one of those you can start from that basic mesh you have saved and work on the details and tune it a bit.

@Ádám Ördögh Oh okay. Thanks for the tip. Also, is there a giant library of free Blender objects that I can use for both personal and commercial use? I don't know of any.

@@feynstein1004 hey stay blender out of this

@GND,EI Holmes Lol I'm a huge fan of Blender, mate. Just saying how I feel about it.

this is what manuel bastioni lab does

I agree. Makehuman is good for low poly background characters and NPCs though.

@@hoodTRONIK Yeah, I can see that happening, actually.

@@hoodTRONIK great for quickly getting the shape and basic look you want, then import the model in another program. I use zbrush.

I am a indie dev, and I really like to use metahumans for npcs. And my main characters I use daz with sculpting in blender because I like to have custom main characters that look totally different to metahumans.

MakeHuman started as a Blender plugin; didn’t you know?

@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 ok, i saw the lastest video on their channel, and its true o.O what an strange turn of events. make human plugin>make human stand alone >manuel bastioni forks make human as an blender plugin, Manuel bastioni project dies> now make human will be a plugin again?
