Requirements

1. MakeHuman 1.1.1: download
2. Blender 2.79b: download
3. Blender-Plugins:

• MakeHuman: Import-Runtime: MakeHuman Exchange 2: download

After the avatar has been created in MakeHuman it has to be exported. Important points:

• Select Geometries > Eyes > Low-poly
• Select Pose/Animate > Skeleton > Default
• Select Topologies none
• Select no teeth/tongue
• Material > Skin > select something (not default)
• Export as .mhx2 with scale units = “centimeters”

Installed in Blender 2.79b with GLTF exporter from Khronos Group and mhx2 importer:

• Import Avatar as mhx2
• Remove the check mark for “Transparency” for each material / Exception: eyebrows, hair, eyelashes. Leave “Transparency” checked, but set Alpha to 1
• Delete Cube, Camera, Lamp
• Click Export as GLTF
• In export settings under “Embedding” check the box for: [✔] Embed buffers [✔] Embed image
• and convert it to a ZIP file called avatar.zip if you want to test the avatar, the file itself must be called avatar.gltf

Now simply drag the exported GLTF file (as a ZIP file named: avatar.zip) into the browser window (if the world is loaded) The rest happens automatically. The file in the ZIP must be named avatar.gltf.

**This is not a persistent solution for avatars! If you have created an avatar, sucessfully tested it and you want to put them into the avatar library, then: Drop us a Mail
