Make Human
Makehuman™ is a free, open source software designed for the rapid prototyping of photorealistic human (and humanoid) characters. It is developed by a community of programmers, artists, academics and enthusiasts interested in 3D computer models of human beings.
MakeHuman™ is used to create a 3D mesh with optimized topology representing human beings with a user-controlled mix of characteristics including race, sex, size, muscularity and other features. The models thus created are integrated into one of two typical pipelines or workflows.
In the first one, MakeHuman™ is integrated in a professional pipeline, where the T-posed mesh is exported into a full-featured 3D CGI system such as Blender, Maya, XSI, C4D, Zbrush etc.. in order to be included in complex scenes and renderings, or used for games.
In the second pipeline the mesh is posed and clothed directly in MakeHuman™, then rendered with an external engine, for 2D art or quick demo reel of a character.

Famous quotes containing the word human:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
