How do I make a new skin for 1.2?

Postby WarpZone » Sat Sep 13, 2014 4:51 pm

How do I make a new skin for MakeHuman 1.2 and apply my own texture to it? Basically I need to test it in MakeHuman so I can see how the sliders affect painted-on eyebrows.

I already have my texture, I just need to know how to make MakeHuman able to use it.

Thanks! :mrgreen:

You need to create a material file (.mhmat) to go with it.
Copy one of the existing mhmat files (a textured one is best, as its closed to what you want to achieve), rename it to my_skin_name.mhmat (probably the same name as your texture file for convenience). Open it up in a text editor and modify the line that references the texture.

Or enable the Material editor plugin in MakeHuman and use that to create and save your mhmat file.
