These are the final release notes for 1.1.0, which was released 2016-05-14.

Highlights

See also the release infographic.

  • Many bugfixes and stability fixes
  • Many targets improved and minor modeling corrections
  • Completely new skeleton and posing system, with support for pose loading from BVH, and support for custom weight and proxies
  • New pose system with auto-rigging, support for T-pose export, and initial support for special poses like high heel shoes
  • New skin library with age variation
  • New expression system now based on a face bone rig, including a library with facial expressions.
  • Improved topologies/proxies
  • FBX export now supports binary FBX and should work for most third-part applications which support FBX

Important notes

If you are currently using 1.0.2, there are some things that may be confusing when upgrading to 1.1.0.

Many assets are incompatible: If you have a large set of manually added assets such as clothes and targets, please be aware that these may not work as expected with the new release. Targets should mostly work. Version 1.0.2 MHM files should be possible to open, but deprecated proxies and assets may not be available. MHM files made with earlier, unsupported nightly builds may produce very unexpected results. In general, you should test your assets with the new release before trusting everything works as expected.

New philosophy in which assets are included per default: Previously all existing assets were included with the default distribution. This is no longer so. Instead, a small set of robust, full body clothing choices is supplied by default. In addition, there is now a large online area for community-designed assets, to which everyone is welcome to upload their creations. Some previously included assets have been removed from the default distribution in favor of this area. The online area can be found at http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/user_contributed_assets.html

MHX has been deprecated, MHX2 is a plugin: The old MHX format is deprecated. While it still remains in Blender's code base, users are strongly discouraged from using it. The successor is MHX2, which is a plugin which has to be installed for both MakeHuman and Blender (you will most likely want to install exactly the same version in both). More information can be found in FAQ:What happened to the MHX export in MH 1.1.x and later?.

Most information about MH, and services around MH, has been moved: The server/domain setup has been changed for various legal reasons. The main homepage http://www.makehuman.org is now a skeleton page which mostly include download links. Other services such as forum, bugtracker, wiki and so on has been moved to http://www.makehumancommunity.org. Some links might still not have been updated.

Errata

A few issues have been pushed until later releases. We are aware of these and will fix them later.

  • #392 - There are numerous issues with the BHV export
  • #899 - FBX export dislikes non-ascii characters
  • #1001 - Collada export produces (skeleton) warnings on Maya import
