how to add/use human character as scale reference?

[terinsuke]

hello,

As a beginner and architecture enthusiast, I want to create several homes or rooms but need a human body as reference.

Couldnt find a good tutorial or page to explain it. So how can I use or find a human body on Blender?

Thanks.

So how can I use or find a human body on Blender?

1. The easiest way is to use a plugin for Blender — MPFB.
2. A bit more complicated — transfer the model from MH via socket.

If you are into architecture, I recommend you to pay attention to Sweet Home 3D — there everything is already prepared for creating houses and apartments. Then, everything can be exported to Blender. There are even human figures. But I put there characters made in MakeHuman.
