Seemed like a good idea at the time and I still think it is but as I set the age, my race and so on when it comes to inputting the weight I am left with figuring out percentages. How do you input the weight. lets say I weighed 300 pounds, then went down to 275 and then down to 250. How do I model that weight progression or rather, how do I input it into the model?
To add to what Loki has already suggested, MakeHuman treats weight as a qualitative mass measure, so you will also see very different body mophologies at a given weight if you move the muscle slider. For example, move the weight slider to the extreme right. Now move the muscle slider to the extreme right right as well. You have a muscle-man. Now move the muscle slider to the complete left and you will have an extremely obese individual at the same weight.
This slider behavior is quite realistic, but has not been implemented in a completely quantitative fashion. It will be up to you to create representative settings for the project you describe. You may be able to create a series of useful combinations by making use of the scripting interface. Unfortunately, this is not the best documented part of MakeHuman, but it might be quite time saving for you project if you can make it work.
