-At present, most MakeHuman skeletons import well into Blender.  To do animation based on Biovision Hierarchy (BVH) motion capture files, use the MakeHuman Blender tool [[Documentation:MHBlenderTools:_MakeWalk|MakeWalk]].  This tool is designed to import .BVH files from the Carnegie-Mellon collection (CMU-BVH) and the female files of the Ohio State University, [http://accad.osu.edu/research/mocap/mocap_data.htm Advanced Computing Center for Arts and Design collection (ACCAD-BVH)].  It is worth noting explicitly that the male ACCAD files use a BVH format that does not currently work well inside Blender with MakeWalk.

-At present, most MakeHuman skeletons import well into Blender.  To do animation based on .BVH motion capture files, use the MakeHuman Blender tool named MakeWalk.  This too is described elsewhere on the Wiki.  The tool is designed to import .BVH files from the Carnegie-Mellon collection (CMU-BVH) and the female files of the Ohio State University, Advanced Computing Center for Arts and Design collection (ACCAD-BVH) [http://accad.osu.edu/research/mocap/mocap_data.htm].  It is worth noting explicitly that the male ACCAD files use a BVH format that does not currently work well inside Blender with MakeWalk.

+If the hard shadows are inconsistent with the look you hoped for (Figure 15 and Figure 16, top), it is possibly to fix this.  For eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair you need to turn off cast on the shadow panel of the materials tab of the properties editor.  After doing this, the shadow effect will be similar to what we got with the hemi lamp and what the human originally looked like when exported from MakeHuman.

-To make the eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair appear realistic, it is necessary to let the skin base mesh receive shadows.  If you used collada to export and import into Blender, the skin name in the Outliner panel will end with '...-base.obj'.  Select the skin by either right clicking directly on the skin in the 3D viewport, or by clicking on the '...base.obj' name in the outliner panel.  In the properties editor, select the Materials tab and check Receive Transparency in the shadow panel.  The eyebrows and eyelashes (and sometimes hair) will now appear realistic, albeit with hard shadows (Figure 15).
