Just wanted to let those that don't know that Blender has a VERY powerful procedural human generator via the amazing MakeHuman python script. See attached link for image. Brian

And some more info: Humanoid modeling and animation, under GPL. MakeHuman is a Python language script (Python.org) to be used within the open source, 3d graphics software package, Blender (http://www.blender.org). The aim of MakeHuman is to allow the quick and easy modeling of humanoid 3d models while keeping the model as realistic as possible. The method chosen to accomplish this task is that of Additive Morphing which allows for the easy addition of a variety of parameters to MakeHuman. The morph targets are modeled from careful observation of medical texts and anatomy references for artists. For example, intended morph targets can represent the various physical aging effects of males and females, the various ways in which body mass (fat) accumulates around the body, the different body and physique types as classified by William Sheldon, the distribution of veins along the body, and so on and so forth. Meanwhile, work will be commenced on a project for the study of the programming of realistic skin and hair procedural shaders. These are to be used within Yafray, the new open source rendering engine (Yafray ) By means simple command, everybody will be able to create custom morph targets by modifying the base_mesh. To use the script click "Quick Start" in the menu.

Thanks Brian! I still haven't yet tried MakeHuman, but plan on it soon!

I've tried it, but I can't figure out how to get it to do anything. Are there any tutorials for it? Or some sort of Quick Start Guide?
