Recreating my heroine with Makehuman

[huang3721]

After months of procrastination, I finally sit down and recreate one of my toons from live server. Meet my mind control dominator, Mei:

 

Obivously, her original costume parts are not available on Makehuman, so I created a makeshift costume by painting her torso.

She is technically naked, but I'll fix her soon*™️ (please don't ban me).

You can download her current costume at Makehuman's repository.

About Makehuman:

Pros:

Open source

Quite small and runs on a potato PC (subjectively important for me)
Support multiple formats,

 

Cons:

Limited available assets even for civilian/everyday clothes (men's clothing is even rarer).

Many assets have poor quality. (You need to rework said asset).

But said formats are ancient (eg. Collada and Lightwave)

*Probably next year or a few years after that.

That came out fairly decent given the tools. Nice work Huang.

Is there some reason why you did not just recreate your hero

from Live in the homecoming CC or is this a for fun project?

[huang3721]

It's just for fun project. 

 

Also I'd love to create new character rather than replaying the same powerset. Back then I randomly picked her power. She was mind/ice dom, if I am not mistaken.

I decided to use whatever asset that is currently available, rather than build all her costume parts from a scratch.

Let's say she had to fight crime in civvies.

 

Pic Alteration Ninja mask -> Surgical mask. sleeveless vest -> sleeveless crop top armband -> wristband and no gloves Her pants remain, but no white stripes. She is wearing a belt now.

 

 

 

^Civvies + threatening pose

Found a better hair model. It's not practical and the color is wrong, but it looks better. I think.

 

Switched to Blender for rendering my MakeHuman character:
