The milestone of the development of MakeHuman is finally ready! After more than one year of work, we finally perfected the code and implemented the more complex features.

A very very simple method to have subsurface scattering with renderman

Read all

The technique used by Giuseppe Canino within Blender is based on an extremely simple and brilliant idea, which allowed us to reproduce the same effect by using Renderman compliant render engines (AQSIS and Pixie).

A simple multi-platform approach to rendering translucent materials in Blender

[...]To find the way that would give the best results, I started thinking what were the characteristics of the surfaces we were taking into consideration (translucent materials).

Renderman skin shader Released

The Ninibe plan is born in 1999 like a "free association of persons" with the objective of exploring in practical way some aspects of the Artificial Intelligence. During the years the interests are widen and now they also include projects not directly connected to the AI.

In September 2003 Ninibe plan became the "Ninibe Laboratories": an Association dedicated to ICT research whose aim is the realization of innovative projects.

MAKEHUMAN 0.9.0

The milestone of the development of MakeHuman is finally ready! After more than one year of work, we finally perfected the code and implemented the more complex features. Particularly the muscle engine requested an enormous quantity of experimentations, while it took a lot of months of hard work to totally rewrite the code in C++.

FEATURES

- The program has been entirely rewritten in C++, by using in the best way possible the Object Oriented design, to increase stability and reliability.
- New multi-platform, simple and stable interface entirely written in openGL.
- Poses engine with automatic realistic simulation of the muscular movements!
- Autorigging (auto-adapting to deformations of morphings!)
- More than 3000 morphings!
- System of mixing different characters (Morphing alchemy(c)).
- System of mixing based on Sheldon's anthropometric technics (Endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph)
- More intuitive Icons: distorted areas are highlighted
- Wavefront obj exporter, with materials and UV coordinates
- Photo-realistic rendering with Renderman compliant engines (beta)
- Toon rendering (experimental, by pressing T key)
