Eyes Library and others "No Assets..."

Postby StephG » Mon Feb 06, 2023 1:26 am

I am very frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of, everything mentioned in the forums, I've tried searching the site externally. I have NOW spent 4 hours trying to figure this out. I'm begging the community, please help me.

The complete message is "No assets in this section, maybe set MH user data preference or install assets in mpfb user data". Oh I have done that.

MPFB2, Create Human button. Character comes in with no eyes. The eye sockets are completely empty. The info I need is not in the FAQ.
I have copied the MH eyes folder to every data directory I could find in the MPFB in the user directories such as ...\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.3\mpfb\data
The "eyes" directory under that path contains the everything the eyes need.

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jmTdhVjAsI
A file called "makehumanj_system_assets_cc0.zip is loaded

I have searched the Makehuman community site with every search means that I could and could not find any file with that name. It *should* be here: https://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/plugins/, but it's not. I tried searching the forum, nothing.

When I go to the system assets page and try to download the high poly eyes (which I already have in multiple directories), it takes me to this page: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/, which is not helpful at all. If I click the Assets link, it gives me files to download, but no instructions on where to put the files where MPFB can find it. I already have those files anyway.

I would expect the asset library location to be under "Library Settings" but no such luck.

None of those things worked.

I have thumbnails for all of my skins, but default and midtoned female don't load. Eyelashes and hair are there, but not tongue or teeth.

Autodiscover does not find eyes. I have zipped the eyes directory and tried loading that. I zipped the whole data directory that had all of the eyes and skins. That didn't work. Entered the directory where the eyes could be found in the addons under "Path to MPFB user data", System and resources tab/user files, library files and system data. Went to Assets download and there's no eyes there.

I can't find any useful information here: http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mpfb.html
or http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mp ... _20a2.html
http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mpfb/faq.html
http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mp ... arted.html

I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and have invested a lot of time before coming here to ask.

Thank you to anyone who helps.

Since you have some assets (eyelashes and hair) and not others (eyes), and these assets are included in the standard install, I would guess the install did not complete.
One of the experts should probably verify this, but if the program loads first, and the data files last, an incomplete or interrupted download could give the results you mention.

I located the systems file download and have eyeballs. I found the path to the systems files from the YouTube video, but could not locate them from the MH site.

It's working now.

It would be nice if all essential files were located in the same directory that the addon is located. And we were told to add them at the time of adding the addon.

Thank you for answering.

I think the link to the asset packs page is in the description of the video. The asset packs are here: http://static.makehumancommunity.org/as ... packs.html

You can also reach that link by clicking the "system and resources" -> "web resources" -> "asset packs" button.

I understand your frustrationSlope, and it can be challenging when you encounter issues with software. It appears that you're facing difficulties with MakeHuman and the MPFB2 add-on. Let's try to troubleshoot and find a solution to the problem.
