reusing makehuman functionalities

[hossam_zaky]

hi ..
i'm new in python and makehuman but i'm wondering if there is a library i can import into my own program (python for example) to use the makehuman functionalities like building and resizing parts of a model.
thnx

Remember that all code/data of makehuman is licensed according to the GPL 3 or later, so your program should also be GPL 3 or later if you which to distribute it.
It is possible to import pieces of makehuman in another python program, but it is not without some work, as it is not meant to be used this way, everything is quite integrated.

well it's just a college project and i'm not intending to distribute it ... it is not a commercial product
and about importing pieces of makehuman if it is doable can you please give me some guidelines about how can i do so, thanks for the reply

You will need to implement all the methods in the mh module (main.c) which exports a C python module which takes care of the rendering structures and methods. The other way, extending makehuman with functionality is easier as for that we have plugins, but importing makehuman requires quite some effort.

is there specific .py files i can see that enables me to understand the algorithm used in resizing and controlling the human model ? ...
thnx alot ....

Look in algo3d and human.py.
