Where are the Blender Tools (MAC)

Hi,

I tried to use the Blender Tools which come with Make Human, but i can´t activate them. The MHX importer works fine. But I´m not able
to activate the blender tools like "make walk" which I really would like to use. They are not shown up in blender add on tab.
The ability of importing BVH with make walk looks awesome.

I tried it with blender 2.69, 2.70a and 2.71 RC2. All on MAC.

Any suggestions to get this working?

Blender already comes with an older version of MHX importer, which is what you have probably.

The MakeHuman .dmg file that you download from the website comes with a folder called "Blender addons", visible immediately when you double click on the DMG file. The contents of those folder need to be installed into your Blender.

See Blender documentation how to install plugins: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2 ... toryLayout

You can choose any. The MakeWalk tools can retarget to any rig.
Most mocap (bvh files), at least the ones you find on the internet has very limited amount of bones, so even the most simple of rigs should be able to show the complete animation.
