interesting thread... surprised how old it is. I have CC3, Daz Studio, Poser (or do i?!?) and i find makehuman amazing. you can do quite a bit of customizing to the character, it exports rigged, nice poly layout and the textures are very descent too. but for me, i think the best aspect is that the characters you make are "yours", and you can do with them as you please. fbx seems to be the trend now, and more and more programs accept the file format so it opens up more possibilities. sadly (for me as i can not sink my teeth into blender), the whole blender thing makes it tough, but if you can get past blender, you can do a lot with makehuman figures.

the makehuman figures import nicely in 3dcoat, zbrush and carrara.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
