cannot import mhx2 MH file into Blender 2.9

Until recently I was using Blender 2.8. No problem importing a MH mxh2 file into 2.8. I now downloaded Blender 2.9. The mhx2 addon does not work in 2.9. The addon is listed in the Blender preferences addons. However the mhx2 file format is not listed as an import option.

Does a new plugin exist? So far I cannot find one.

Thanks

Maybe you are confusing Makehuman Plugin for Blender and the MHX2 add-on?

Thanks, you are probably correct. I want to export a MH file in mhx2 format. Then open Blender and import the same mhx2 file.

At this link: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/plugins.html

Am I correct to assume that I want this file: MHX2 (blender side) (download zip) that goes into the Blender Addon folder?

Thanks

Yes and you can use the zip file as well you can leave it in your download folder just browse to it after hitting the "Install from file" button on the add-on tab of the blender preferences window.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Thanks. Problem fixed this AM in less than 60 seconds. Import function working perfectly. Thought I did this yesterday several times. Likely a brain cell malfunction!!

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Hi,
On the Makehuman 1.2 export menu it doesn't show any MHX formats. On Blender 2.92 there's MHX2 Runtime, but can't use it.
I'm on a Mac OS 11.4
Blender 2.92

Can you please screenshot the export page where the mhx option should be? Not sure what is happening there but it seems very buggy!

That looks like the mhx2 plug-in that goes into makehuman is missing there are two separate files one goes into blenders addons to do the import into blender and a second on that goes into the plug-in folder of the makehuman code not sure where that would be on OSX. There is an other wrinkle you have to enable that plug-in as well on the Settings->Plugins tab it should show up as 9_export_mhx2.

Enjoy the Choice :)
