Manuel Bastioni Lab, turns Blender in a laboratory for 3d humanoids creation

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

@Daedalus_MDW

go to object properties tab(orange cube), check transparency(dont remember the section its in), then go to the materials, select eye_cornea(or something like that) material, and turn down the alpha for the viewport opengl colors.

Thanks, that worked. Didnt find any OpenGL colors option, but changing to Alpha Clip worked too.

When will it be possible to add hair? Also, The sliders gets abit unrenspondable after some time of use.
How can that be fixed? Other than that, this is the best free character creator Ive used. I never understood Daz, so your tool is perfect EDIT: I had enable subdivision preview on, that caused the lagging. One more thing, is it possible to show the eyes in material mode? They go white, when I dont have the render mode on.

Hi Åsmund
Have you seen my post: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?413761-Daz3D-Studio-finally-working-greate-together-with-Blender

working flawlessly. Manuels lab is better at rigging then. But with Daz you get clothes, hair and so on.

Artig å sjå at det e andre trøndera her

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

As I read it, it is a addon for exporting Daz figures into Blender with all the materials (I hope hair too)? Will look that up, thanks!
EDIT: Your character looks great, if its your work. Is that a Blender render?

Jepp, CGI miljøet er ikke akkurat stort i Nord-Trøndelag

the exporter exporting everything included hair. Yes that was a Cycles Blender render

I teared down the UI to use Blender as a character creator only. Deleted some lines in the startupfiles and now it looks like this:

any modification to the lab addon violates the creative commons CCBY usage license.

heres a question though… could some one export a json from an unofficial addon, and then in an official import and finalize?

for me, i modified it to run in the blender version of my choosing and gave the base models realtime materials. this way i would only need to use the new version of blender for finalizing and pretty shaders, then its back to 2.74.

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

I didnt modify the addon itself, only Blender so
it acts like a character creator with no other tools.
That cant be illegal? I removed all the Blender buttons
so I can focus on the character and not get distracted
by the rest of Blender’s UI

[Daedalus_MDW]

oh ok, i didnt consider that. that should be fine i think, as long as you didnt delete anything important.

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

@Manuel , I have a suggestion: Would it be possible to tweak these values without having to update the character each time after a tweak? Also for the anime styles, could you add values for lipcolors?

Hi,
there are many things to improve in the GUI and algorithm of the measure tool. I will work on it as soon as possible, just after the completion of the texture editor and muscle system, that are requested by many users (these features require a lot of work).

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

I definitely understand the work you put into this. Its a awezome tool for character creation. I cant wait for the new features to arrive
Finally a character creator with a understandable GUI. Thanks for this!

Thank you Asmund. It’s always motivating to know that my work is appreciated.

Thanks for this amazing tools !
There is a way to render in BI even less detail skin features ?
Should be possible to separate modeling fo face and save/load it to add on the models?

[Gilles38]

Hi Manuel, really very useful for me. I know very little about modeling so this is incredible !
I would love texture though and I am not the only one as you said.
Rendering is fine under Blender but I want to export the mesh + texture to Sketchfab.
Right now, how can I ad a texture to the mesh I created with your add-on ? I have no idea how to do that…
Thanks
PS: when do you think you texture editor will be released?

Not automatically. The system is designed to work with Cycles only.

@Marco_105

Not at the moment, but it’s a feature planned for the future (perhaps 1.6)

It’s just a warning, don’t worry, it’s ok.

After the finalization with the option “Save all images” (http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_finalize_the_character.php) the model will be ready to be exported using the standard Blender tools (File->Export->…). You should use a standard format, for example Object with materials.

@Gilles38

PS: when do you think you texture editor will be released?

It’s planned for 1.6: http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_features_planned_in_next_versions.php

I tested the lab with the official Blender releases. This problem happens with the daily builds because recently they have removed some icons from Blender source. I will fix it in lab 1.5.

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

Hope you can answer this. Is it possible to export the posed character as a .FBX?

[rampa]

I think this addon is amazing! Thanks Manuel!
I do have a question, that anyone here is free to answer, and that is, “Is there some sort of viseme controls for speech?”

[Asmund (Åsmund)]

I figured out that for exporting a posed character, only .OBJ works.
