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. https://static.makehumancommunity.org/news/2024-05-11-makehuman-1-3-0-has-been-released.html Sat, 11 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://static.makehumancommunity.org/news/2024-05-11-makehuman-1-3-0-has-been-released.html MakeHuman 1.3.0 has been released.
