Am I being stupid? Assets wont load in.

Discussions about MakeHuman, Blender and MPFB. It is ok to ask for general Blender support here, even if it isn't directly related to MakeHuman

Am I being stupid? Assets wont load in.

Postby AlexFisher » Thu Jul 20, 2023 5:06 pm

Right so I'm a total newbie here I installed MPFB to blender along with the initial asset pack following the instructions to a T as laid out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jmTdhV ... =MakeHuman . The tool bar and initial asset pack works fine. So here I am getting exited thinking I can do everything in blender so I go ahead and download all the asset packs and unpack the zip files then I install them one by one into Blender and restart but when I go to assets nothing is there... Just the original stuff from the initial asset pack. Am I being stupid here? I don't get it.

MPFB is great, but some things can still be obscure.

I wonder about your "unpack the zip files" comment.
Asset packs can be loaded zipped, just use the "Install assets", "Load pack from zip file" button under "Apply assets","Library Settings"
This should automatically unzip and install the assets, though I forget if Blender has to be restarted to see the new assets.

If you use the installl from zip button jwc mentions, the assets should show up. If not, I'll be interested in knowing why, see http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mp ... a_bug.html

Only other thing I can think of if no errors occur is if you have written something in the filter boxes. Then only assets matching those critera will show up.
