3D engine for makeHuman for Android

Postby granadajose » Tue Apr 09, 2013 2:36 pm

Hi all!

I would like to create an open-source fitness app for Android using the makeHuman model. In fact, I have already created this application in Java and it runs in Linux/Windows, but currently it only shows gif-animated images and the looks are not too good.

Do you know of some 3D engine for Android whith an easy integration with makeHuman models (and hopefully Blender animations too!)? I know that the obvious choice would be Unity, but my development computer runs with Linux and I am really happy with it, so I wouldn't like to change it. I don't need many features, just showing the animated model with maybe two o three aditional objects (such as a press bech, some weights, and so on).

Thanks for your help!

Jose

This looks reasonable http://www.jpct.net/ ... (in theory, haven't tried it)

One option would be to try to run python and opengl on android and make use of the MH libraries. But that might a) be cumbersome and b) force your app to be licensed AGPL (which I'm not entirely sure google allows on play).

Thanks for the JPCT suggestion! I will try to see if it works.

I'm afraid that the Python-OpenGL option is way beyond my technical abilities! I need something more like "3D engine for dummies" ;)

How about Ogre3d? The svn version of MH even has a direct export for it.
