MakeTarget2
Posted: Sun May 26, 2019 12:19 pm
Having looked at the existing MakeTarget code and being frustrated with trying to port it to blender 2.80, I have instead started over from scratch.
Instead of developing this as a separate plugin, I have added it as functionality on top of the makehuman plugin for blender (https://github.com/makehumancommunity/m ... or-blender). When using the current master version from github, you'll now get an extra tab "MakeTarget2" alongside the "MakeHuman" one.
For now I've only re-implemented the bare minimum of what was available in the old maketarget plugin. I'm not sure anything more is needed, as I think many of the other features have been made superfluous but other changes in the toolset:
If you think there's something in the old maketarget that should be ported too, let me know. Otherwise I think is what will become the standard maketarget tool when 1.2.0 is released.
Oh, so you don't get confused: The MakeTarget2 panel will only appear in blender 2.80. I haven't made it play with 2.79 yet. So for 2.79, you'll have to use the old maketarget for now.

- There's no "load base mesh" button - instead import a human from MH via the "import human" button on the "makehuman" tab
- There's no functionality for secondary targets - instead apply what you consider to be the primary target in MH before importing
- There's no symmetrize button. I think you can get this via blender through other means, but it's possible it should be implemented here too.
