Auto-create a library of models - different heights & waists

[alebreje17]

First off, I'm a rookie at 3D modeling, and I must commend the MH team for an extremely robust solution for human forms. Outstanding indeed. I can't wait for Alpha 8!

That in mind, please bear with me, as I would truly appreciate any sage advice : )

I'm working on a project where I'd like to create a library of a couple hundred body models of differing heights and waists. I'd export them all as .obj's. Below are the specs:

Female Heights: 5' - 6'3", differing by 1 inch
Female Waists : 26" - 39", differing by 1 inch

Male Heights: 5'2" - 6' 8", differing by 1 inch
Male Waists: 28" - 40", differing by 1 inch

Ideally, all the additional measurements (hips, thighs, etc.) would slightly increase as the height and waist increases on the model too. I would think other folks have asked similar questions on the forum, but I couldn't find anything, so sorry in advance in case of a repeat!!!

Do you mean that you want to automate the process?

In that case you should have a look at the scripting plugin in the Utilities category tab. It's possible to write a script to set the various properties and export the models. The shell plugin is a good way to try out experiments directly in MH, it accepts Python commands.
We still have some work to do in cleaning up parts of the API and documenting it, which is a work in progress, but it should be useable.
