I've found a lot of good clothes models i want to use on the official site, but when i click on the link there is no download, i can only open a link to a new web page, it just seems to be a bunch of binary to someone who has no idea what binary looks like
i've included a link, i don't know if you all will be able to see it though

link with code
http://www.makehumancommunity.org/sites ... atop.mhclo
actual piece i want to download

thanks in advance
sorry for being such a noob, this is still my first day

I hope this might make things easier to understand and deal with in terms of adding an asset to your local collection for use within Makehuman.

To download an asset from the listings, go to the page featuring said asset and note the list of files on the page. These will include an mhclo (MakeHuman clothes file), an mhmat (MakeHuman material file), and may also include an obj (wavefront object file), a thumbnail file that will probably be a png that needs renamed to thumb, and png files for diffuse, normal and bump textures and such.

For each file in the list, right click and save as. Put them in your download folder. Once you have all the files for said asset downloaded, go to the download folder and take note of the mhclo file. Create a folder with the exact name as this file (the text to the left of the .mhclo extension). Put all the files into this folder. (There will be times when the thumbnail files will have a png instead of a thumb extension and you will need to fix these.)

Finally, cut and paste this folder into your data/clothes folder inside the home directory for MakeHuman, usually in documents under windows and home on Linux. If it is a skin, put it in Skins, models in Models, etc.

If done correctly, you will see the new asset inside MakeHuman by using the Geometries tab.

There is another way. You can use "Download assets" in MakeHuman. Then the clothes will be installed automatically.

There may be a wrinkle in the download from the web site do not use Microsoft's Edge as it does not allow you to right click "Save as" which is M$'s way of saying ohh this is dangerous so take that functionality out of the browser BTW Apple does the same with Safari so use Chrome or Firefox.

Enjoy the Choice

Tomcat has given the best and most preferred way to do this.

My method is a fallback in case the asset downloader goes south, as it has done on my box, for reasons I cannot deduce. The manual way I use assumes you know your way around the folder structure within MakeHuman. The hirarchy differs a bit for windows, mac or linux. However, all three systems will put the files in your personal top directory.

Many thanks, Tomcat.

Firefox is the best choice, and it is even better when plugged in against ads on Linux. Any other method sells the unsuspecting user out to the antisocial media ad slingers. It is what big tech does and has nothing to do with the MakeHuman community site since it is ad free by default.
