My last post was not rude, and it is now directed to you as well.
Please observe how you felt the need to comment, but added no useful relevant information to the topic of this thread.
Here's what the thread could have been about.
MakeHuman characters are largely useless unless one can find something fun to do with them.
I know some of you render your characters in Blender. Ok, that's great for you, no problem. But for many people, such as myself, MakeHuman characters aren't of high enough quality to merit the time investment Blender requires.
In previous threads some time ago I attempted to share another relatively easy way to use MH characters in a fun manner, but such discussions tended to make some members somewhat hysterical, so I won't be bringing that solution up again, I'll just use it myself and leave it to readers to discover it on their own.
Mixamo offers another fun and quite easy way to use MakeHuman characters. It's pretty amazing how remarkably easy it is to animate MH characters in Mixamo. Ok, so it's not high end custom animation such as is available in programs like Blender, but that's not what it tries to be. Mixamo's goal is to be very easy to use, and it succeeds in that mission. The only problem I see is the texture issue, which perhaps we could solve if we tried.
If my honorable fellow members were really interested in supporting the development of MakeHuman we'd all be looking for easy ways to do fun things with MH characters, because THAT is what would build the user base, and create a larger MH community.
The vast majority of computer users with an interest in 3D will never invest a lot of time in highly complex programs like Blender. This doesn't mean Blender is "bad" it just means it's not a suitable tool for most people who might enjoy MakeHuman. Thus, putting the focus on the hard ways to use MH characters is to limit the true potential of MH.
Please observe how an attempt was made above to discuss an easy fun way to use MH characters, which would seem to be very relevant to the stated topic of this forum.
Please observe how the mods are ignoring useful discussion of animating MH characters in an easy fun manner, preferring instead to discuss this particular poster, an uninteresting subject not relevant to the stated mission of this site.
