body joints, batch configurable model

Postby dfxh » Wed May 29, 2019 7:17 pm

I have two "connected" questions:
1)
does the human model consist of joints (which joints does it have?) and can the joint model be "visualized" as a "stick figure"?
If yes which joints does it have and are there "actors" to move the final model afterwards and are all things such as skin, cloth etc. "dependent" from the joint movement?

2)
as far as I have seen the "makehuman" process is an interatcive mouse configuration of a humanlike model.
However can a model be configured or created by a script and/or configfile? And more important can I input "body measurements" instead of "mouse slider positions"?
e.g. I have measurement tables of certain "body measurements" such as "height, leg length, arm length, waist, foot size, .......".

Especially when I want to generate masses of "different" humans in "batch mode".

First off makehuman has no code for posing all posing is/can be done in blender all makehuman does is provide the binding of a skeleton to the mesh with the applicable weight-painting.On your second question yes we do have a scripting interface but entering "real measurements" just will not work as all calculation is done with a para-metric model(slider 1-0) the measurements tab just calculates distances between points on the resultant mesh.

Enjoy the Choice :)

well... except for the pose tab :) . This tab also lets you look at the so-called skeleton which is based on a .bvh file. It is more directly mapped to the concept of Blender bones than the "joint" concept of some other 3D software.

That said, scripting IS POSSIBLE and can be accessed through the scripting tab. But as Loki said, it can't produce physical dimensions - only relative ones. You might also want to look at what Joel's "Mass Produce" plugin on the community tab in the `1.2.0 alpha 3 version.
