MakeHuman Community

This is the new homepage for MakeHuman and MPFB. As not everything has been ported, some things can only be found via the old site.

2024-12-20: MPFB submitted to the extensions platform

MPFB has now been submitted for review on the Blender extensions platform. The idea is that this will be the main source of stable releases in the future, if MPFB is accepted on the platform.

2024-12-01: Updates to MakeHuman documentation

A spirited attempt has been made to get the MakeHuman part of these pages in order. Particularly the MakeHuman FAQ has gotten a face lift, but there have also been numerous changes under the MakeHuman Docs

2024-11-10: MPFB 2.0 beta 2 has been released

MPFB 2.0 beta 2 has been released. See release notes for 2.0 beta 2 for more info and the download page for download links.

2024-10-12: MPFB is now an “extension”

Important notice: Starting from today, the nightly builds of MPFB are “extensions” rather than “legacy addons”. From a user point of view, this looks the same in the end. But when upgrading from one to the other, there are some things that need to be done.

There is a FAQ entry about this at How do I upgrade from addon to extension?.

2024-07-23: MPFB 2.0 beta 1 has been released

MPFB 2.0 beta 1 has been released. See release notes for 2.0 beta 1 for more info and the download page for download links.

2024-06-23: MPFB now supports BVH-style poses

MPFB now supports MakeHuman BVH poses (ie the poses which are available from the asset repo), and there are two asset packs with poses available.

You need a nightly build from 2024-06-23 (today) or later to be able to load these.

The pose loading functionality has some limitations as of yet: You can only use them with the default skeleton, and they will mess around a bit with the bone rolls. But it works well enough for static posing.

For download links for the nightly build, see the download page

For download links for the asset packs, see the asset packs page

2024-05-11: MakeHuman 1.3.0 has been released

MakeHuman 1.3.0 has been released. See the release notes for more information and download links.
