What is Reddit's opinion of
MakeHuman?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
40 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Simple and cartoony? Complex and realistic? Something in-between? There's a lot of variables here. It can take a few minutes or it can take a few days.
If you're looking for a shortcut, I recommend MakeHuman. http://www.makehumancommunity.org/
Hee's something you might be interested in:
ManuelBastioniLAB: the free and open source character editor for Blender
A free open source off shoot of Makehuman
Mostly asset links:
Free assets you may find handy to prototype. make sure to check the licenses.
Blender swap can also be useful to learn how some models made in blender.
http://www.makehumancommunity.org/ For easy human characters.
Adobe mixamo to easily rig 3d models that have no rigs.
Not a game but makehuman is a software which you can put measurements to generate a 3D model. If you want a proper game I think the one that has most customization to allow for that (but I don’t remember measurements) is Honey Select from Illusion.
Great work but the proportions feel a bit off.
I suggest that you use MakeHuman if you want some reference: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/downloads.html
It is free and open source and I believe they also have a Blender addon
You could grab a pre-made model from somewhere like Thingiverse or Blendswap, or make your own in Blender. There's going to be a bit of a learning curve if you want to make your own from scratch though! You might be interested in MakeHuman too if you want some generic humanoids.
If you're happy with 2d artwork then Tabletop has the option to create a semi-3d figurine from 2d artwork which may be enough.
Yeah the YouTube videos can really help. If you're looking at doing any kind of human figure modeling check out MakeHuman, it's a lot easier to generate a figure that you can then import into Blender
Makehuman has a "Mass Produce" plugin which lets you create random people.

There’s VeryHotShark's base mesh set for sculpting, or you might want to try MakeHuman or MB Lab.
makehuman (http://www.makehumancommunity.org/) can help somewhat, but zbrush is not made to be a real world measurement kinda program. You can do a couple of those measurements and use the resulting model as a base to sculpt on.
I gather the models from MakeHuman (http://www.makehumancommunity.org) and DAZ Studio (https://www.daz3d.com/home) are unsuitable for some reason? Perhaps I could be more helpful if you provided some details of your use case.
No, it's an open source software http://www.makehumancommunity.org/
You can find on youtube how to use it and how to export to Blender.
There's no point of making a human from scratch. Just start with MakeHuman and you'll modify it later for your needs.

Makehuman is a piece of free software that lets you make a human model really quickly and easily (sliders for age, gender, weight, etc...) and then export for use in other programs like blender. It's been forever since I used it, but it I recall correctly, it can even export with textures and bones/rigging stuff.
Closest thing I can think of is make human. Should be able to export to something which you can the in turn export using some other tool to stl. Will probably require some hand polish however as it's not really intended for it.
Second closest would probably be hero forge, but it costs per model.
Ah okay, there is quite some constraint on available time/resources then. If I was in this spot, I would probably either go for a modular humanoid asset pack, maybe pay a freelancer artist to make some adjustments if necessary.
Or I'd go with a character creator like meta human, Adobe Fuse, Vroid (for anime style) or makehuman. For meta human, I'm not sure how optimized the results are, and for makehuman, I can't recall the details but many people don't like their licensing.
If you need to do most things by yourself, making the best use of tools you already know is certainly a good idea. If there is money in the budget, maybe outsourcing this would work too. There are probably some requirements regarding rigging and game integration that the artist should be aware about I assume? But if they can incorporate those requirements, that might be fine.
you can make your own for free with this:
That's pretty much it! Makehuman software can create quite detailed base bodies with actual unique faces, but I saw it more as a good starting point tool to began making desired modifications to the naked body and face by hand. Sculpting an actual basemesh (naked body) from nothing by yourself is an incredible art in itself and would require lots of practice and knowledge of anatomy, so in the end I wanted to skip that part for the time being and use a tool like Makehuman. All the other pieces, like armor plates, outside the naked body are created in Blender by hand by myself. For the shoulder spikes and the sheathed dagger I used a reference though.
It says not secure because chrome always says that. If you're using the official site then yeah it's safe. I used makehuman and I think it's quite good. One of the best features is the ability to download custom shape keys. One bad thing about it is that the weights usually suck. But you could use mixamo or rigify to rig them and then they work nicely. Also the models are CC0 so you can use them even commercially with no problems

"make human" is a program that you will run on your own computer. It generates human meshes and armatures for them, with parameters to control height, weight, etc...
(sorry for late reply)
http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/downloads.html
There is a website that supports the download - but it is an application which creates human models to export into 3d applications
I'd add Make Human to the 3d modelling section. I've used it a lot as a starting point on projects - lots of sliders much like the more involved game character creation systems, different and clean topology types to select from.
You up for a little learning?
Check out Blender. It's a free open source 3D modelling program that is REGULARLY compared to Maya. It's got kind of a steep learning curve (which is expected of software with as many features as Blender) but the latest major update has revamped the interface a lot to make it more user friendly.
You ready for an even better part? Check out the software MakeHuman. Free Open Source human generation software. Their site specifically states that you can use exported models for any purpose personal or commercial. You just use sliders to set the age, weight, build, complexion, and any other physical feature you can think of, check the box to have it rigged to a posable skeleton, save and export. Import to Blender. You have a fully posable realistic human model.
Jump into Gimp and you can edit the skin textures (which come with MakeHuman) to customize the appearance of your models.
It's up to you and your Blender skills to make clothing and items though.
Here's a gallery of examples of stuff I've made for the RPG I'm writing. The beginning few images were for a test campaign I ran for the RPG it. The human models were all created with MakeHuman. The images have expanded descriptions.
In short, yes, you can totally make good looking assets with 3D modelling.
There are a few base meshes around like VeryHotShark's set.
There's also MakeHuman or MB Lab, but there more for character creation than sculpting. They are useful if you want something that is rigged/quickly posable at the start.
OpenSim viewers have a somewhat crappy avatar editor but then they can be made superbadass with better skins and shapes. There are new mesh bodies and a slew of free clothing and so on that can be used, and the character files can be exported, rigged and used in other video games. The truly hard stuff has been done so it's more a customization job than building from prims - though that's always available.
All of the freebie assets mentioned are open full perm so you can modify and use them in whatever commercial enterprise you want. You just can't "resell" them but you can hand them out for free.
I know OP is suggesting the lego block style option and that is absolutely great for the intended purpose.
I chimed in to share opensim as another option for people who are looking for more lifelike options and a super simple platform to build and create the content.
It's open source so it is my hope that the game builders and designers can see the benefit of such an easy tool for high quality (though low poly) content and help update the code and make something more universal and easily used with the top game engines.
There's also MakeHuman...
On the plugins page you will find versions for older and newer versions of Blender. You can install either plugin directly from the .zip file without copying any files. The 2.8x compatible version is called MakeClothes 2.
Though I use Blender 2.82a most of the time, I actually prefer the older version of MakeClothes so I use it with 2.79.
Have you tried the software ''MakeHuman" ? I cannot make sculpted models to save my life, but this program helps me generate them, while still giving me enough options and input to let me feel as though I made them, at least partly, myself.
The output quality is very good, and it can even rig models for you and save you a ton of time. An excellent free program.

>he first part to familiarize yourself with unity then it will be more simple from there but sadly i don't know of a guide for specifically this process but in summary

>you make a model using DAZ studio make it how you like it then
Thanks, I did not now makehuman before. Good tip!
http://www.makehumancommunity.org/
For the record, you can dig into the MB-lab addon for Blender which should have both a pre v2.80 (at the bottom) and a current version (the repo).
For the history, Manuel Bastioni started both the ManuelBastioniLAB and MakeHuman, MB-Lab is a fork of the former to keep it alive.
All relay on a big database with plenty of power, but MakeHuman specifically require you to release the result as CC0 (with a helpful TL;DR about it), putting that out for a head up for people picking it up from here.
BTW, I love the way you name those FPS projects.
And thanks for the quick demo still.
Nice work. Next time you decimate, add a mirror beforehand to ensure the decimation is symmetrical... or delete one side of the faces then copy-paste the other half over, then sew vertices.
If you do this now, you'll need to re-paint the weights from the skelly to the newly copied faces.
Semi-related side-note: MakeHuman is open-source, and thusly, free.
Your work is awesome! I cant wait to try it on godot.
I try this tools erlier. Maybe its a little help in your work.
http://www.makehumancommunity.org/
Looks amazing!
Hey, have you ever thought about reaching out to MakeHuman at http://www.makehumancommunity.org/
I would love to see your anatomically correct skeleton and muscular system dynamically change with their dynamic bodies.
Get MakeHuman, generate humans and do whatever you want with them.
I'm going to second that something more akin to makehuman is probably more for this kind of project.
Also, it is a free and open source program, so even if you need to do something more specific, you didn't invest money with makehuman.
You might also see if any businesses in your area do 3D scans. You could get a direct to life model of yourself, though it won't be cheap I'd wager.
If you are allowed to, you can start with Makehuman. You can change the default character with the controls yo make the character unique. You can even add a reference image to use as a target for editing the character parameters (there's at least one video tutorial on the web on how to do that). You can then import it into Blender and so you just need to model the clothing and accessories. Otherwise you need to watch tutorials on character modeling. It's really too complicated for just a tip or two.
You can activate the community lookup (I think its active by default in the new beta version). Lots of people have free clothes and stuff. most of it is pretty much "you get what you pay for" but there's some that's not so bad.

I've used makehuman to get some human base mesh. It's free and the topology is a decent starting point. As far as rigging, depends on what you need. you can start with an auto-rig in maya humanIK and work from that. You wont get rigged fingers or toes, but it will give you a reasonably accurate rig with IK/Fk to play around with.

ManuelBastioniLAB that recently shutdown. But blender is updating to 2.8 soon and probably difficult to get now https://www.blendernation.com/2018/11/26/manuelbastionilab-character-editor-shuts-down/
Try Adobe Fuse and Make Human or UMA2
