Weight estimation plugin now available for 1.1

Postby jujube » Sun Oct 15, 2017 7:17 pm

I think back in 2015, I found a thread where someone posted code for a weight estimation plugin; I got it to work again and posted a reply, but no one noticed.

Well just now I decided to fix and finish it. It automatically finds surface area + weight + BMI of the character. Originally, since the existing surface area calculation didn't work, I used a workaround by having a textbox to manually enter surface area (obtained via blender, with its 3d print tools addon). I opened it up again today and found that the problem was that it didn't recognize the function from mesh_operations.py. I didn't/don't know how to import it, so I just copied all the functions from mesh_operations.py into my file. (If anyone knows how to fix that, feel free to do so. )

Tested in makehuman 1.1.0.

edit: also, it gives the wrong results if you check "hide faces under clothes".

Edited the topic title to make it clear that this is working code people can use, not something I need help with.

Sounds great, but what's it good for? Do you have a screenshot? I can't just test it because ... it's complicated.

It's kinda cool. I'm not sure of its practical use, but it did force me to remember metric to imperial conversions. In America, we still only use the metric system in medicine and engineering. We were supposed to convert everything to it way back in the 1970s -- I remember learning about it in elementary school at the time -- but most of the older folks were just too attached to the old way, so it never caught on.

I played with it a bit using default, heavyset and thin females.
Here are some screen shots of the results...

Haven't tried it, but basically you should copy the plugin to the plugins folder and restart MH.

Weight estimation is now integrated in the alpha and can be activated under settings. The hide face problem was fixed, too.
