Abstract

Create an articulated and realistic human 3D model is a complicated task, not only get a model with the right body proportions but also to the whole process of rigging the model with correct articulation points and vertices weights. Having a tool that can create such a model with just a few clicks will be very advantageous for amateurs developers to use in their projects, researchers to easily generate datasets to train neural networks and industry for game development. We present a software that is integrated in Blender in form of add-on that allows us to design and animate a dressed 3D human models based on Makehuman with just a few clicks. Moreover, as it is already integrated in Blender, python scripts can be created to animate, render and further customize the current available options.
