Change clothes on characters from MakeHuman in Unity3d

The goal of the article is to transfer the character from Makehuman to Unity3d so that his clothes can be taken off and put on right during the game.

For this we need Makehuman , Blender3d , Unity3d and its UMA plugin (they are all free). The article was written based on this YouTube channel, repeating after the author, I filled a lot of bumps, and now I'm ready to state my vision.

Stage 1: Character Creation in Makehuman

This is the easiest and most enjoyable stage, here you need to model the character. Makehuman is a fairly simple program, so I won't describe how to work with it.

But there are three important points. First: you need to add a skeleton to the model (added in the Pose / Animate tab). In this tutorial, I am using the Game Engine rig. Secondly, if the character has clothes, then you need to disable the option to remove polygons under clothes (this can be done in the Geometris -> Clothes tab, and uncheck the Hide faces under clothes checkbox ). Thirdly, you need to export to fbx and specify the units of meters. Also, just in case, you can save the model.

A few additional points

There is no need to change the pose of the character.

Clothes can be exported piece by piece. That is, you do not need to put on all the clothes at once, you can, for example, first save a character who has only pants and a shirt. In a blender, export them, then return to makehuman, remove old clothes and repeat the export operations, for example, for hat and boots.

Units of measurement are meters, which means that ten cells in makehuman will mean a conventional meter

Stage 2: Processing it in Blender3d

There are three things we need to do here:

• Normalize Model

  
  
  
  
  

• Add a global bone

  
  
  
  
  

• Cut body parts

  
  
  
  
  

Launch Blender3d. First we need to remove the light, camera and cube and import our model. Then we import our model: File -> Import -> fbx (and select our fbx file)
