"Visualize in digital something that you can only imagine to see different things" 5/5 What do you like best about MakeHuman? Many times in my work and in my studies as a nurse, I had to imagine how an organ or a wound would be, this application allowed me to bring more to reality about what was not physical if I saw it in digital form, for that reason human visualization of lake is more likely to have knowledge and more understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MakeHuman? There is not much that I do not like, in spite of a lot of this I like it but it can be improved to different areas as well as my health, it is true that I believe that recreating things to the students and to the people show what can be a situation or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MakeHuman: Possibly to use more tools of particular use for the medicine organs pieces of bones and other things that could be more graphic to demonstrate everything with the academic and professional use, this helps to value in terms of imagination what could be something that is unknown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MakeHuman solving and how is that benefiting you? For my work management and my colleagues, I recommend this application because it shows human parts and then they can be edited for the tastes that they want to use.

CA Christopher A. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/3/2016 "Perfect for Quick Character Creation" 4.5/5 What do you like best about MakeHuman? MakeHuman is a free software that works as a standalone character customization program akin to that of many role playing games. You can create a new mesh or body, adjust sliders and use presets to make the character suit your needs in aspects such as age, body type, gender, athleticism, color, brow shapes, eyes, and so on. Acting as an all-encompassing virtual human creation program, MakeHuman also offers rigs to fit and apply to your character so once they are exported they are already animatable, saving mass amounts of time and effort. There are also options to fit the character with clothes and accessories, with the ability to upload your own. Additionally, once you have your character set exactly as you want, it's time to export it, and MakeHuman offers a variety of exporting formats for compatibility across various 3D modeling software packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MakeHuman? The accessories and clothes that MakeHuman offers are of a limited assortment, meaning there isn't much you can put on your character within MakeHuman. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MakeHuman: MakeHuman is undoubtedly a very useful program, however it is recommended that you get acquainted with the interface so as to avoid missing out on any useful tools that would otherwise be glossed over by someone too eager to get right into it.

When you have to make an animation or other production involving characters quickly in order to meet a deadine, MakeHuman is the solution, offering quick realistic character creation for your projects, and is capable of exporting to many file formats allowing you to utilize that character in a variety of programs.
