You have missed one of the killing features of this release -- Mass Produce, the thing that can automatically generate tons of characters with some configured deviation from your base model. That's specificly valuable and helpful to gamedev if you need to have lots of NPC or actors in your game. Probably, will be helpful for filmmakers as well.

Great post! I have been experimenting with Make Human in recent past and now I will spend some time revisiting it.

See this why I subscribe to you. You’re probably the only guy on KZfaq who covers lesser known programs.

As someone who hates modelling hands, I could use this to have a believable hand base mesh that I can tweak to my liking. If you can model stuff, then you can definitely take advantage of this to save you some hours of work.

the big prob in game dev is lack of automation across the board. these kinds of things are great to see.

5:01 even in the virtual world, the neckbeard trilby continues to be mislabeled as a fedora...

Subscribed. This was a great video man. Was not aware of this software. I've dabbled with Daz 3D and might still buy character creator. Pretty impressed with what you were able to showcase here quickly. Great work and very helpful.

This is a massive improvement, to be sure, but I’ve been dabbling in iClone Character Creator recently and one thing I would REALLY like to see in Makehuman is the ability to adjust the morph sliders beyond their default settings. For example, because I have a sick, sick sense of humor, I usually adjust the “Body Fat” slider in CC to 500% or so (as opposed to 100%) to make my characters look like DeviantArt abominations, then “bake” the slider and adjust the slider to another 500% just for sick kicks. You could also adjust that same slider to -500% (or less) to make them so skinny, they fade into oblivion. A more practical example would be when I increase the scale of the eyes 300% and decrease the scales of the nose and mouth to around 50% to create a typical “Disney Princess” face. I want to be able to make extreme, freakish changes like that in MakeHuman.

Love it! I use it a ton and have a ton of videos of its use in Unreal! Super helpful

Looks like a pretty modest improvement in a program that has been more or less stagnant for the last 5+ years. I still love Makehuman and use it regularly for base models that I then edit and re-rig but most of the functionality has been more or less there for the last decade. Still, it's come further than other tech from that time like Facegen.

Awesome Tutorial and recap on make human bro! Thanx!!

pose direct into make human can be used to make sure that the model dont have any riggint issues (there were a bunch in the past, depending on the model that you make there might be some issues) posing the model you can test if you should fix something before or after you export for another program to continue the work on the model

Ty so much for the fair and honest review!

Didn't use it for years but great to see it's still running and finally making some huge progress. Interestingly in an earlier version there were built in genitals similar to the clothing tab, with individual sliders to customize them. I think they got lost when they introduced the different topologies or sth with some of them have them permanently. And the new community feature is great.

Hi, i want to use make human as a reference for learning real anatomy in my concepts arts is it possible? to used it for drawing concept art

For people looking for realistic models i recommend: MBLab addon for Blender. 1- Free 2- Realistic models (body, skin, muscle and textures...etc) 3- Customization (correct anatomy) 4- Works inside blender

Just the other day I was checking this latest release, it looks really great.

Just fantastic news I can't wait to start using the new program and I will promote it in every video I use it in and maybe send you some money when I get some

You didn't applied a skin texture. They are in the materials tab.

Oh boy, just when I gave up on this app. Looks like I'm gonna download it again.

Gamefromscratch in 4K? Amazing!

very helpfull men,i am eager to see what your channel has to offer

Most terrifying human anatomy I ever seen.

Pretty cool. I used to use Make Human a lot, even posted a video about it a few years back but I moved on to Adobe Fuse since then. Would be nice if that Socket feature works with LightWave. I wouldn't be using blender of course.

I'm pretty sure you've made a mistake in your video regards the licensing. The wording says anything "included with and produced by", but I don't think community assets fall under that category. This is backed up by the community tab having a licence column in them, some of which were CC-BY, and if memory serves, there are some AGPL community assets too. But thankyou for making this video all the same, it reminded me that MakeHuman existed!

I have had this old clunker kicking around on my computer for years. I never used it for much, since the original license was trash, just like the base mesh. But if the base mesh is now CC0 maybe it would be ok for back ground characters or starting point towards a real character model. This is basically an open source version of character creator.

MakeHuman is great for a starting base mesh for sculpting.

I've been using make human to generate base meshes, slowly but surely it's becoming more multi-functional for 3D humans. I have a 3D everything else handled in Blender, I could even do clothing with cloth simulations. But making humans is the toughest part in 3D art.

can not tell what is new in this version from your video..

How could I create custom 3d models like you showed in the beginning of the video? I have a 3d model which I'd like to 3d print, but I think creating an assemblable figure is a better way

I remember back in early 2000s when MakeHuman was brand new. The model was horrific. It had overlapping tris and double faces everywhere. I decided to clean one up one day. Took 3 days to find and fix all the mistakes on it.

MakeHuman is awesome, but the characters are pretty fugly, so best when used for distant shots. MB-Lab is more tightly integrated into Blender and produces much better looking characters with more options for specific ethnicities, which is really helpful. And the free version of Mixamo Fuse is even better still. The one advantage to MakeHuman is that it will allow you to create children, which when you're doing arc-viz work is important, as destination locations usually need kids in it to feel real.

I didn’t notice it covered in this video, but you can convert the MakeHuman rig to a Rigify one upon import., meaning free Ik rigged “human“ characters in Blender. Only issue I’ve encountered are improperly skinned shoes. But an easy fix.

The reset arrow thing makes a new scene in makehuman

I was using this tool long time ago, but I switched to my custom topology/uvw mapping/textures , there is more advanced character creators already written on a Python in Blender 2.8+ , more powerful creators with unlimited possibilities

I installed makehuman but it is not opening... no showing any error massage also... not even appear on task manager... I tried changing installation folder, updating python, deleting v1py but didn't worked... also tried old version... I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this matter.

It's still nigh on impossible to make realistic human models in MH unfortunately. I have used it a fair bit but always just as a base mesh that I sculpt over and then I project the texture back onto my new sculpt. That's about the only thing I have used it for though.

You can make the model fatter by turning up the weight slider while also turning down the muscle slider.

You missed the most important difference between MH and Poser. The last time I used Poser, which was version 5 I believe, all body parts were separate. Bear in mind that version 5 was well after skinned meshes had been standard even in game engines. Without a lot of lighting tricks you ended up with G.I. Joe joints. Also, with the weight thing, it works with the tone slider. Max out the tone and weight sliders and you end up with a bodybuilder. Keep the weight at max and take the tone all the way to the left and you end up with someone who shouldn't be able to stand under their own power.

I think make human need some good modelers to make good looking targets. The tool is here, but the comunity had to use it.

Imagine, makehuman and mb-lab addon become one great free open source character creation software.

7:51: Poggers

could you go threw the using of the make human rigging.

How do you use the imported objects from the community? Your pc crashed just when you were about to show it.

Does makehuman have a plugin like headshot for character creator 3 for creating custom head?

Off topic... Do you have any thoughts on GameDevs Drawing kick-starter? I think the drawing is going to be done in Krita but they are including courses in Blender at the $25 level. Thanks.

Have you thought of doing a comparison between the current state of this versus MBLab?

I was confused about one part: the skin when exporting to Blender. Do you lose the skin (digital flesh) when exporting to Blender? If so, how do I get it back?

2:52 You’d think, for an app that is so focused on integration with Blender, that they would adopt more of Blender’s UI conventions.

MakeHuman has some magic I believe. The default characters look terrible and after some tweaking they probably look even worse. I usually ignore the tweaking features in MakeHuman and use sculpt brush in Blender to finish the models. Or, you just use Daz studio instead...

When do they finally fix this un-human default skin color?

...where is the .exe file? I downloaded it, unzipped the installer, installed it, i went to the makehuman folder, but i can't find the makehuman.exe anywhere.

very coool

This is will be a grate contribution to meme world

I was playing with this in... maybe alpha or beta or rc... just can't remember. At first it was always crashing on my machine. It appeared to be a AMD-specific bug (which caused by Nvidia lack of strictness... as always). I sent in a patch and it got merged. It's kinda funny that no one in the dev team nor user uses AMD gpu.

Do they have any military uniforms and props? I want to print some stuff for some dioramas.

Darn, wish this program was available on Mac. Nice video!

Stopped loading on my pc, not sure why?

OH YESS! Finally someone made life a bit easier. Would you be able to sculpt further onto the mesh afterwards? For example create a 3rd eye or 4 arms... ?

God damn it, I had a school assignment last week that used make human, would have been so much easier if I used 1.2

i don't think you still get taller as you get older the grid almost looks like it scales up which tho you're taking up more of the frame you'd be getting smaller i think?

I would never criticise an open or free software like makeHuman. That said I looked at it and tested it MANY years ago, and the characters in this version actually look like they have LOST both in "configuration flexibility" and ""looks"" ??? Maybe it's more stable and ""powerful"" (in some way) but it still "feels a bit odd.".

Très cool .

Linux suport,???? I remeber plagin for blenfer 2.79 make human....

How would you say it compares to MB Lab? It's included with Blender but disabled by default.

Any links to .dmg file? The official link seems to be dead. Thanks..!

Hmmm. Maybe I'll take a break from using MBLab in Blender.

Nice se

The new thumbnail of makehuman remind me unity standard asset

Sorry but I still think that make human is only good for base meshes. I tried it in the past I still see no major improvements. To take it and then have to refine it with sculpt tools and make better textures is a este of time if you are in a time crunch. Character Creator is still better.

Baby delerious is in your video lmao.

This terrifying 3D model appears normal in covid times.

Still no perspective camera in MakeHuman?

Can these be imported into unreal engine?

Blender is growing fast and exponentially, is like the flag of the free world, one of the best 3D software in the market and totally free, plus is an ALL IN ONE solution, I discover new add ons almost every day and is one that probably could be of interest because the topic of the video the MB-LAB character creator plugin (mblab.dev/) for blender 2.8 (I didn't test it in 2.9 yet, actually I will do it after end this post), I am not a big fan of make human being honest, because normally the clothing isn't the best then is just a loss of time, I can create the character with MB-LAB refine it with sculpting use auto rig I also have my materials library and from there use a clothing plugin but normally I prefer to make the clothing manually because offers better results plus Blender 2.9 clothing with sculpting brushes is super fun and easy, the problem I see with make human is the final result, the clothing doesn't looks appealing to me, I can save time but in detriment of quality, then I prefer to simply make the clothing with blender manually, that leaves as only value the model and the rigging, both can be done with other resources and the texturing isn't a big deal then I don't even take that in count, after you work for a while you already have like your base meshes for almost everything, some artist prefer to start from scratch everytime, everyone has his own preferences, but I believe MAKE HUMAN will increase popularity for the blender add on and is like they are joining the blender community by default, then I believe the best is to keep an eye on it and see how the community library grows and if is a way to get involved and help it to grow, right now the only advantage of Marvelous designer is the auto fitting tool but somehow blender=make human can probably become the solution to finally get rid of Marvelous Designer, I will try to make a deeper research and come back with an answer ;3

woohoo.. after ages in beta stage

MakeHuman is still alive and kicking huh? I haven't used it since the mid 2000's

Great video. Can you select multiple poses and export them to blender? would save a lot of time animating expressions

At least they fixed the eyes (I think, your model had a mask that blocked most of it), still gonna wait till they fix the skin.

I feel like the program is still limited. So far, you can only slide through one type of character, and I feel like they need more models. Right now, it's generic video game model, but it'll need realistic models and stylized models that you can slide through as well. Definitely good for quick and dirty background characters, but still needs more features.

This looks great. But I need hundreds of N64-quality rigged characters with faces that are basically pictures. Is that possible here? Can we replace the good meshes with crappier ones?

no perspective view?

Mean while realluasion cries in corner😁😁

11:17 - Connecting MakeHuman to Blender

If scrolling down zooms in, THEN SWITCH YOUR THINKING TO: Scrolling down, PULLS ATHE SCENE TOWARDS YOU, and scrolling up PUSHES THE SCENE AWAY.!

Too bad we can't see THE HUMAN only a mask.... It looks EXCEPTIONALLY LOW QUALITY... I suppose I could mesh smooth in 3ds Max... Does it make Morph targets?

Makehuman it’s not available for mac anymore Especially for Mac Big Sur with the new update That is really sad 😵🤯😭

2:26 Caucasianonise (Verb) 1. To apply cacausianism "I will caucasianonise myself by boiling this chicken breast."

I find it odd that you don't seem to have any videos on DazStudio, especially since Daz now has direct exports to Blender, UE4, and Unity.

What about genitalia?

Idea: Seed system Seed(«property1»,«propertyN»,«actual-state»,«other-stuff like render shader pose anim so one»); :v

Reasons why I was not using it: Always the clothing clipping. Not many clothing options. Never knew how to export. Reasons why I will not be using it: It crashes. Clothing still clipping.

Make the real president of Canada.... he is so popular !

7:25 ouch!

if you want more weight (a fatter model) you need to reduce musculature, duh!

Could be an alternative to Daz Studio or Poser...

Compatibility with Ubuntu 20.10 is an issue though, it seems. Not sure how easy it'll be to overcome.
