"What would be awesome is if some one took MakeHuman, and Fluid Designer code to make an Poser knockoff that ran IN Blender." - Joe@HFG
"What would be more awesome is if they took the Blender, MakeHuman and Fluid Designer code to make a stand alone Poser knock off with an easy to use interface." - false1
I have been working towards this little by little for awhile now, and sometime next year (2016) I am stopping my freelance work to try and work on it for the next two, or three years. I am studying the coding of FluidDesigner, and BlenderSensei-SenseiFormat/ZeroBrush for the basis, and it will not be a forked Blender, or stand-alone like FluidDesigner. It will be more of a customized build like SenseiFormat, and I am calling it Blender Poser Studio (or Blender Posing Studio - haven't decided yet) based on the three main software I use: Blender, Poser, and DAZ Studio.
I considered MakeHuman early on (been using for years), but there are a couple of add-on coders out there that are creating what might be needed. imdjs from China, who created a spectacular hair system, basically created a Genesis (DAZ) style human figure system which, hopefully will be available next year. Also, with help from other add-ons (such as those from albertofx), I am working towards a Marvelous Designer type implementation for the dynamic cloth system.
Now, for the bad news. I am creating this solely for myself, because I am tired of waiting for DAZ3D, or Smith Micro to implement many of the things I want in Poser, or Studio, and Blender basically has it all (or will sooner than the others). I have no plans to be a full-time coder, and no wish to maintain builds, or fix bugs for the masses. Maybe a coder like BlenderSensei will be inspired to maintain a Poser/Stuio-ish build for the masses, so the rest of you can play. Or, one of you might get inspired to create your own for your own pleasure as I plan to do...
