Whole human proxies or proxymeshes are now called "topologies" on the MakeHuman tabs. Like other third party assets (e.g., clothes or target), topologies 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\data\proxymeshes" 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.
