Missing Features after Source Code Install

Postby HF86Rocks » Fri Nov 10, 2023 3:28 am

Hi All,

Because I use a Linux distro where the PPA is not supported, I had to install MakeHuman by downloading the source from GitHub. I've got it running, but I noticed that after the install, some features are missing. Namely in the materials section. It does not allow me to edit hair, teeth, clothes, etc. I've looked over the FAQ and the installation instructions, but am having trouble finding what else I need to download to be able to use these features. Can you let me know what the next additional step is, if any?

Thanks all!

I'm not an expert in Linux. But it may be enough for you just to enable plugins:

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestion, but according to the settings, the plugins are enabled. Also included is a screeenshot showing what is missing, which I admittedly should have included in the original post.

Texture editing is located in Utilities –> Material Editor

What elements are missing?

To edit hair, teeth, clothes, etc, you need to install them first. In the Geometries section, select respectively: hair, teeth, clothes, etc and then it will be available in the material editor.

Texture of skin, eyes, etc. can be set in the Materials tab. But there, textures will also be available only for already installed components.
