Re: MakeHuman obj file

1. Download this script from this site. You will need to rightclick 
on 
the link that I will put in at the end of this message, and choose 
Save 
TargetAs.(IF you are using window and Internet Explorer)
2. When the Save dialog box pops up navigate to the folder/directory 
that you saved blender into. Go to the .blender sub folder. go to the 
scripts subfolder and save the obj_import.py file.

3. Open blender.  Place your mouse pointer in the 3d window.

4. SPLIT the 3D window.-SLOWLY move the mouse pointer down toward the 
button window until it is right on the border between the 3-D window 
and the button window and it turns into a double headed arrow. NOTE 
you 
must move FROM the 3D winodw TOWARD the button window BUT NOT INTO 
the 
button window. Just stop at the border between the two. Window 
spliting 
in blender gives you the choice of splitting the window that your 
mouse 
pointer moves FROM as it appoaches a border between two windows. If 
you 
over shoot and try to move the pointer back to the border, it will 
give 
you the choice of spliting the wrong window.
 
5. Select split window from the pop up menu. The 3D window will be 
split vertically.

6. Left click on the double headed vertical arrow next to the button 
that looks like a grid in either of those two window's header.

7. In the menu that pops up choose Scripts Window.

8. In the new "Scripts Window" you will have one menu choice in the 
header named "Scripts". Left click on it and in the menu that pops up 
left click on "Update Menu".

8. The menu will disappear. Left click on "Scripts" in the Scripts 
Window header again. This time go to the "Import" sub-menu. A new 
widow 
will pop out giving you the choice of several import formats. Choose 
the one that says "OBJ".

9. The scrips menu will change to the import scripts interface. left 
click the "Seach" Button. The import script's interface will change 
into a standard blender file selection window.

10. Navigate to your MakeHuman installation directory/folder and then 
to the "exported" sub-directory/folder. If you have tried pushing 
the "save as obj" button in make human several times you will have a 
LOT of files in that directory that have names 
like "outfile1,outfile2,outfile3" I would left click the one with the 
highest number. These are all the .obj files that you have tried to 
export and the one with the highest number is the most recent.

11. Click the load button in that file selection window. The OBJ 
import 
script will appears again. Then left click the "Load" button in that 
winodow and your MakeHuman will appear at the location of the 3D 
cursor 
in the 3D window that you have open.

Here is the link.

I purposely made this a "click this and click that" post becasue I do 
not know your level of experiance with blender or windows and I find 
that many of the tutorials online just ASSume the reader might have 
knowledge that the author does.
