makehumancommunity.org

Hi guys,

I just cloned makehuman from bitbucket and started playing around a bit with it and would like to elaborate on where I see easy usability improvements for source installations.

1. I can't find a description of bitbuckets dependencies, the only thing I found was this statement that there are dependencies xD http://www.makehuman.org/how_can_i_buil ... source.php
I worked around this using the ubuntu ppa and checking the makehuman dependencies, but adding a dependency statement (maybe into the README) should help quite a lot.
EDIT: Dependencies are also stated in the README

2. The bit_bucked code is shipped without any models/hair/... which is a good decision I'd say.
But I would appreciate a simple way to get the kind of "basic data" that is bundled in the ppa (presumable in makehuman-data package).
Furthermore I am quite surprised I'm not able to find this data doesn't in "~/makehuman/v1/data" when installing from ppa (would enable me to use it after removing the ppa installation and using the source one)
EDIT: I just found it in "/usr/share/makehuman/data" which is perfectly fine

The documentation is here: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/wiki/ ... rom_source. (In fact makehuman.org is outdated, we currently do not have control over the domain)
It doesn't make much sense to keep files from the data-folder on a version control system. Just run download_assets.py after installation (It may take a longer time to download all the stuff).

Thanks for the documentation link, well that's unfortunate, cause makehuman.org is pretty much always the first resource I find when searching for makeHuman related topics --> quite misleading.
I agree on that, nevertheless adding how to download assests to the README would ease source installations.

We will see, what can be done here...
