    This is the main repository for the MakeHuman application as such.

  • Human work is much more deterministic than AI as it encompasses a lot more constraints than what the task specified. If you take concept art creations, while the brief may be a few sentences, the artist knows to respect anatomy and perspective rules, as well as some common definitions (when the brief says ship, you know that it’s the ship concept approved last week). As an artist, I’ve used reference pictures, dolls, 3d renders and one of the most aspect these tools had was consistency. I don’t see Large Models be consistent without another models applying constraint to what they’re capable of producing, like rules defining correct anatomy and extracting data that defines a character. The fact is we do have tools like MakeHuman [0], Marvelous Designer [1], and others that let you generate ideas that are consistent in their flexibility.

    I look at Copilot and it’s been the same for me. I’m either working on a huge codebase and most of the time, it means tweaking and refactoring, which is not something I trust a LLM with. Or it’s a greenfield project and I usually write only the necessary code for a task and boilerplate generation is not a thing for me. Coding for me is like sculpting and LLM-based solutions feel like trying to do with bricks attached to my feet. You can get something working if you’re patient enough, but it’s make more sense and it’s more enjoyable to just use your fingers.
