Assets not appearing

[melodyypond]

Hi everyone. I'm new to Make Human, but I'm loving it. I downloaded a few assets, but some didn't appear on the program, like for example, some textures and expressions. Maybe that means that the file doesn't exist anymore?

So where in your file system did you put those downloaded assets if you on Windows they should in the appropriate folder under My Documents\makehuman\v1\data .

Enjoy the Choice

I loaded directly on the community tab. Most of the downloaded files it appeared right after I downloaded, and some files didn't, which I thought it was weird. lol

Note that the name of a downloaded asset might be different than its title. So if you downloaded "cool and fancy women's hat", it might appear in the list as "female hat".

I have played with the new asset downloader and used the old one recently. The assets downloaded are seemingly a little off atm. I have had assets that would not load at all, assets that loaded after downloading multiple times and assets that relate to base material files not downloading at all or not being associated with asset they belong to. An example is my cornrows hair when downloaded on my other windows system the materials did not make it until several downloads. Another example is eyes and hair materials not downloading or associating with the hair and eyes whatsoever.

Thanks for the feedback. The asset downloader has/is been/being modified to work from a new download source. We are sorry for the disruption this may temporarily cause, but in the end things should be faster and slicker.

Please continue supplying reproducible specifics so we can fix any gliches. In the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience

I have noticed that materials intended for the built-in MakeHuman assets won't download on my system because those files are stored under Windows/ProgramFiles, which has different permissions than the folder for downloaded MakeHuman assets.

For all glitches and issues with the asset downloader, it'd be helpful to get problems reported here: https://github.com/makehumancommunity/c ... oad/issues

Obviously most assets should download properly. However, there are examples where a mistake inside an asset descriptor (MHMAT, MHCLO...) will prevent it from working properly after download. One example is when the author of an asset has uploaded it with absolute paths ("diffuseTexture = c:\users\myusername\documents\makehuman\v1\data\clothes\myasset\diffuse.png") inside the asset file, rather than relative paths ("diffuseTexture = diffuse.png").

The third party materials not working for core assets problem is known, and it is on the roadmap to be fixed before a stable release.
