The Human Generator Guide

This guide goes step by step through the process of creating a human in Human Generator!

Besides the Human Generator Guide, we also have:

Creating a new human:

When no other human is selected, the Human Generator interface will show the options for creating a new human. Select one of the available genders and click the selection square to see the available starting humans. If needed, you can use the categories dropdown to narrow down the selection.

Press Generate new human to generate the selected preset at the location of the 3D cursor (you place the 3D cursor in Blender with shift + right click).

Info

If you've already generated a human, and want to generate another one, but the creation panel is not showing:

  • Select an object in the scene that is not part of a human, (i.e. the camera).
  • OR use the deselect button in the header of the Human Generator panel

Python API - Creating new humans

To get a list of possible starting humans, use this code:

from HumGen3D import Human
gender = "female" # or "male"
starting_human_options = Human.get_preset_options(gender)

To create the human in the Blender scene:

chosen_preset = starting_human_options[0]
human = Human.from_preset(chosen_preset)
