Comments about Blender as an Alternative to MakeHuman
Top Positive Comment
Top Negative Comment
Makehuman is for generating human meshes from user set variables, almost always with the intent of importing into another program. Blender is a full 3D modelling/rendering program, but has no human generation features.
Not human generation (it does have plugins for that, but it's not the main feature and you have to go out of your way to get them)
Some users think Blender is a great MakeHuman alternative, some don't.
- Blender is Free and Open Source
- Blender is Customizable, Lightweight and Privacy focused

The author of MakeHuman has created a plugin for Blender that allows complete generation and customization of a great range of models. I would go so far as to say that the Blender plugin basically obviates the need for MakeHuman.
