As a free application MakeHuman provides some basic exploration of posing the human figure in a variety of positions. But I object to the extensive hype on the download page regarding its professionalism, versatility, etc. These qualities may one day eventuate as the developers continue to improve the application, but MakeHuman is not much more than a game at the moment.

As it appears the user is restricted from saving, exporting to another graphics program or even printing the image without major distortions I don't see this as serving much of a purpose apart from the occasional doodling on screen. Why dedicate 120MB of precious disk space to such a paltry performance?

A lot of good work has gone into MakeHuman, but it's of little use beyond a novelty.

For anyone wishing to use such programs seriously I'd suggest you pay the money for one of the comprehensive applications on the market or take a few life drawing classes and create your own imagery.

But thanks for the mighty effort.
