Measurements export

Postby kha » Mon Jun 26, 2017 5:02 am

Hi all,

I'm new to makehuman. I know that we can set values for some measurements. I'd like to know if it's possible to export the anthropology measurements to a file?

Thanks,

Kha

Unfortunately no. And for clarity sake, the measurements should be thought of as more "extrapolated fakes" than true "true anthropomorphic measurements"

Thank you very much, Rob. Do you know where I can read about the idea/algorithm of that extrapolation process? Is it a data-driven approach or just geometry-based one?

I've read the code in 0_modeling_a_measurement.py. As I understand well, we have to use an iteration process in order to set value for a measurement, am I right?

Hello! I have been working with the Valentina team on a short-term-good-enough solution for measurement. It involves exporting the model to the latest version of Blender, and using the MeasureIt tools.

In short, designer measurements for real clothes can be done by using the Retopology tool in Blender, but creating 'measuring tapes' from a Plane primitve object, and wrapping on the base mesh one face at a time. The MeasureIt tool can then calculate the total length of the tape, as well as the curvature.

This is a tool I've been looking for for a while. Do you have a link?

Better than that! Here is the model: :D

If this approach is good enough for the Valentina programmers, it ought to do for the Makehuman crew. :)
