Starting base for human models **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roberto T. | Lead Artist, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2017 **What do you like best about MakeHuman?** The software has a pretty straightforward User Interface and it is very easy to start to interact with it.

Despite that, I see Makehuman as a time-saver when I need basic human figures. I won't suggest this software if you need to create a unique character. **What problems is MakeHuman solving and how is that benefiting you?** When I have to model simple humans, without them to be too characterized, my work can be much faster. ### 7.

Perfect for Quick Character Creation **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2016 **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. **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. **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. It's also free so you have nothing to lose by using it. **What problems is MakeHuman solving and how is that benefiting you?** 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. ### 9. Awesome program! Great for character needs. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2016 **What do you like best about MakeHuman?** MakeHuman is intuitive and easy to use to generate characters for my needs as an illustrator. **What do you dislike about MakeHuman?** I usually export my MakeHuman models to Blender and it seems that over the recent updates there have been some change, so I usually have to research the best way to get my rigged characters into Blender. I wish there was a ore standard or streamlined way to do this. **Recommendations to others considering MakeHuman:** If you need 3D human models for your project, look no further. These are great models for use in your 2D or 3D project! **What problems is MakeHuman solving and how is that benefiting you?** MakeHuman gives me great models to use in my design and illustration. ### 10. Quick results with almost no effort. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** José Luis M. | Test Engineering Associate en Accenture, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2016 **What do you like best about MakeHuman?** MakeHuman makes your life easier if you need 3D charactes and don't have the time or experience to create them from scratch. You just need to click and move some sliders to see how your 3D mesh changes, making it so easy to create the base character you need. **What do you dislike about MakeHuman?** The only "bad" thing about this kind of software is that you can't fully customize your models. You have a wide range of options, but things like scars, wrinkles, or the many little details you character could have you will have to do them by hand. **Recommendations to others considering MakeHuman:** Well, you won't need much experience in 3D modeling software to use MakeHuman, but is good to know about file formats you can export and then import into your 3D suite(3D Max, Blender, Maya, etc), because that's the olny kind of knowledge you will need to take advantage of this software. May be some rigging knowledge will help too. I stopped using MakeHuman because I aquired the experience to create my own characters from scratch in 3D Studio Max and Blender, but not because it is bad software. It is very good. **What problems is MakeHuman solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast character prototyping and modeling. - [View MakeHuman pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/makehuman/reviews/makehuman-review-1167253?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+11%3A49%3A22+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=5805b1c6-16cd-47e7-aea6-fa1d937197d6&secure%5Btoken%5D=8d67239325018abdc9bbefc11bc57aab546a4c20618c6c9f2854887a7a96c603&format=llm_user) ## MakeHuman Features **Design** - Sculpting - Topology - Drawing - Brush Variety - Effects **Move** - Animate - Render - Views **Store & Manage** - Pipeline - Controls - Template library **Generative AI** - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-3D ## Top MakeHuman Alternatives - [Blender](https://www.g2.com/products/blender/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (306 reviews) - [Poser](https://www.g2.com/products/poser/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (12 reviews) - [Maya](https://www.g2.com/products/maya/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (260 reviews)
