MakeHuman Avatar with Bento Skeleton

[Déesse]

Here are some nice results using the new Bento Rig on the MakeHuman Avatar in Second Life. Still lot of work to do with rigging asnd weighting, especially the eyes and teeth. The conversion is done mostly with Avastar 2.0 (or manually). The Bento Rig will be great for machinima, and I hope, some Opensim-developers will care for implementation

That's cute.

Say if you'd be interested in writing a blog post for the front page about this. I'm sure quite a lot of people would be interested.

Let's wait for the moment that a final version of Avastar 2.0 will be available. Then I'll add a tutorial too.

side question how difficult would it be to setup the bento rig for use in MH??

a working pipeline is great but Avastar has the issue of being a Paid Only program (is there even a decent demo version??)

There are 106 bones, lot of work! And I think it will take some time until Lindenlab will allow to use this new rig in other distributions.

I'm willing to pay for good software, time is money

I'm very happy with this new rig, because I was missing the face- and hand -animations for my machinimaprojects. For the moment I'm testing in the Secondlife-testgrid (Aditi), and only for this purpose: machinima
