MHX2 updates

Recently I have regained some inspiration to work on MH-related stuff

Expressions and poses can now be imported into Blender.

The MHX and Rigify rigs have been adapted to the official MakeHuman rig. In particular, this means that you can pose your character with Rigify while using the official MH expressions for her face.

The latest development version of MHX2 is needed for this. It can be downloaded from https://bitbucket.org/ThomasMakeHuman/mhx2-makehuman-exchange/downloads.

Fantastic stuff here! I've been going over your past blog posts. I love the mhx2 plugin.

Are you saying that your latest mhx2 update works with the 1.1 nightly builds?

That has been the case all along.

Duh! I'm having a Homer Simpson moment. (Smacks forehead) :shock:

I noticed this a couple of days ago, and added my own little hack of mh2mhx2.py to include user poses

Code: Select all: if cfg.usePoses: mhAnim = mhSkel["animation"] = OrderedDict() path = os.path.join("data", "poses") addAnims(path, mhAnim) # quick hack for user poses: import mh path = mh.getDataPath('poses') addAnims(path, mhAnim)

If it wasn't for MHX2, I'd have given up ages ago!

Thanks for the nice words, but never forget that MHX2 would be nothing without MakeHuman and Manuel's artistic skills.

Kudos to you, Thomas! This is really great work. And throwing a glance on your "MakeSkinShader "-project, I can hardly wait to see more ...

Which rig did you use?
