Like other third party stuff like clothes or target, proxies are installed in the appropriate data-folder in the home directory. FAQ:Where are my MakeHuman files found (where is my HOME directory)?. Example paths would be:

  • Windows: "MY DOCUMENTS"\makehuman\v1\data\proxymeshes or Documents\makehuman\v1 on Win 7/8/10
  • Linux: ~/makehuman/v1/data/proxymeshes

Best practice is to create a new subfolder within the proxymesh folder. The name of this folder should be the same as the proxy to be installed. Then copy the three files, e.g. proxy_name.proxy, proxy_name.obj and proxy_name.thumb, to the newly created folder.
