MH 2 Brand New Site Design Starts.
Current Release Alpha 1 MH2

The first stable version of MPFB2 (2.0.8) is released. It is officially hosted on the new Blender Extensions platform, making MakeHuman a native part of the Blender ecosystem.

The new journey of exploration and development begins with planning, art and coding.
Makehuman 2 Planning and developing completely new from the ground up.
New Beginning

Development begins on a complete rewrite of the Blender side plugin. The goal of Joel Palmius: Move away from a “bridge” and make MakeHuman run inside Blender. MPFB2 Alpha 1 is released March 2022. MC2 released by Punkduck same year.

A period of quiet and contemplation.
Makehuman 1 Goes through a changing of the guard and decision-making process for the journey forward.
Dark Days

MPFB1 (MakeHuman Plugin for Blender) is introduced with MH 1.2.0 Alpha 3. This allowed a “Live Link” via network sockets to sync characters instantly between apps.

The Tides Start to Turn. MHX2 (MakeHuman eXchange 2) becomes the standard for high-quality export to Blender. Makehuman 1 is largely declared abandonware by its founding team in favor of Blender plugins.
End of Era

A golden era for the Blender integration suite:

• MHX / MHX2: The primary high-quality exchange format.
• MakeWalk: The specialized tool for retargeting BVH animations to MH rigs.
• MakeClothes & MakeTarget: Tools that allowed artists to create custom assets for the community library.
