MakeHuman - Nighty builds question

[Simmon24]

Hey, I'm new to this forum. Does Makehuman community still release nightly compilations

[joepal]

No, not really. The current MakeHuman codebase doesn't really change. The 1.3.0 release is what's latest in that code branch.

The new version of MakeHuman that PunkDuck is working is still not at the point where nightly builds would be useful.

MPFB has nightly builds, which you can find here: https://static.makehumancommunity.org/m ... loads.html

Thanks for the reply
Ok, so currently there are no compilations released, but it is possible that in the future there will be some?

In developement is what can be roughly referred to, at this point, as version 2.0, which is in a pre alpha state as I write this.

In MakeHuman versions 1.x.x, a code base was used which differs from the current, more up to date and far more functional, code version. In other words, the program is being re written to update the code set making up the very core of the software. This will have many benefits including new features folks have been asking for and others they did not know were possible. I will not elaborate further other than to say that this new version will be worth the wait and although the interface will see a major revision, the underlying functions we now use will still be there, along with a bunch of new stuff.

For those who wish to know more, search on Pyside6. This name refers to the new code set making up this new version of MakeHuman. The program is unfinished ATM and the recommended way to run it is from source inside a virtual machine. This is due to possible conflicts with system level versions of common libraries shared between the OS and MakeHuman, mostly python stuff. The code has come a long way since version 1 of MakeHuman. Version 2 promises to take advantage of the power available in the more recent code set. If you are brave and curious to see the evolution take place, Pyside6 in a VM will take you there.

Run it on a good workstation.

Happy testing...

Yes, if the code base changes in any significant way. But no-one is currently doing any development on the old code. All development efforts are focused on MPFB and the new version of MakeHuman.

For reference, the new version of MakeHuman is here: https://github.com/makehumancommunity/makehuman-pyside6
