New asset areas: rigs and poses

1) Joel said you could use any export format, but do NOT use obj
2) A quick test showed me a number of 13k vertices, I think, that's the expected number. Maybe smooth shading and adding a subdivision surface modifier can help.
3) What scale unit did you use on export? Decimiter (= default) means 1 blender unit (BU) is 1 decimeter in MH, i.e. a model which is 170cm tall in makehuman will be of 17 units in blender. When choosing centimeter on eport it will be 170 BU.
4) It doesn't help, you will have to learn any 3d modelling program if you really want to use the models. For Blender there are many tutorials on youtube, and there are links to them on the wiki page.

I said anything BUT obj. The first step towards fixing your problem is using another format. If you haven't installed MHX2 (see http://www.makehumancommunity.org/wiki/ ... d_later%3F) try using collada / DAE.

Anyway, nothing I can write here will help you avoid having to learn blender if you want to use it. Go to youtube and search for "vscorpianc makehuman" and you'll find a bunch of very gentle and accessible tutorials.

I've tried to upload on two different browsers--Firefox and Opera--but I keep getting looped around, even though I'm logged in to both user contributed assets and the forum.

I can confirm this. Trying to upload something always askes you to login, even if you already are. Now I know why these sections are still empty. They simple can't be accessed.

Huh.

I'll take a look at it.

Ok, now I've updated the permissions. And tested with an unprivileged user.

Try again now.

Try again now.

Works. And we have the first user contributed pose.

Hey Joe. How about if you created a small utitily only for making poses for MakeHuman? You could just import MakeHuman models and then change their leg pose, arm pose and so on. No extra stuff, just basic pose maker.

What you are asking for is quite a lot more complex than it looks at first glance. And since all other assets (clothes, targets, skins...) are created outside MH, and since the blender functionality for posing already works well, there are currently no plans on adding posing to MH.

What you're looking for almost exists already: MH has an internal mhp pose format, but it depends on how you want to use it. I use it all the time in Blender for quickly saving poses; the bonus being that it works out of the box with MH and ManuelLab characters, but the poses are not interchangeable. The code is in MakeHuman, but it looks like development was abandoned some time ago. The main downside is that rigs imported into blender via mhx2 and poses saved as mhp are not compatible with MakeHuman's internal format.
