It was developed by the artist and programmer Manuel Bastioni.{{efn|Active in Open Source since 1999. Coauthor of "The Official Blender 2.3 guide, the open 3D creation suite" with chapter "From Blender to YafRay Using YableX". Founder of MakeHuman project, that received in 2004 the Suzanne Award for the best Python script for Blender. He left the MakeHuman project in 2016.}} Graphical interface and usabilityThe plugin is completely integrated in Blender. The GUI is designed to be self-explanatory and intuitive and when possible the features are designed to work with one click. Over 90% of the character is defined with only three sliders that control age (from 18 to 80 y.o.), body mass and body tone. The character is finished with other lab tools for body and face details, poses, skin and eye shaders, animation, poses, proxy, etc. TechnologyThe software is designed as a laboratory in constant evolution and includes both consolidated algorithms as the 3D morphing and experimental technologies, as the fuzzy mathematics used to handle the relations between human parameters, the non-linear interpolation[1] used to define the age, mass and tone, the auto-modelling engine based on body proportions and the expert system used to recognize the bones in motion capture skeletons.[2] The software is written in Python and works on all the platforms supported by Blender: Windows, macOS and Linux. All the characters use the same standard skeleton, so the poses and animation can be easily moved from a character to another. Most of the data distributed in the package is stored using the standard json syntax. LicenseManuelbastioniLAB is completely open source, released under standard licenses [3] of the Free Software Foundation.
The characters generated with ManuelbastioniLAB are released under double license:
Anatomy and mesh topology of 3D human modelsManuelbastionLAB provides two different base meshes for male and female models. Each model respects the fundamental requisites of a professional mesh, as defined by the author:[4]
The base humans are modelled after accurate studies of anatomy and anthropology. The lab 1.5.0 provides about 470 morphs for each human character, designed to parametrically describe most of the anatomical range in human bodies, faces and expressions. Genitalia are not present. Anthropology and phenotypesConcerning ManuelbastionLAB, the word phenotype is intended with the following meaning: A "phenotype" defines merely the physical appearance of a class of characters, it is not related to politics, culture, language and history. It's used to describe the variations of human traits in relation to the evolution in a specific geographical area. ManuelbastioniLAB supports the most of common human phenotypes to the extent of volumetric modelling features. [5] The lab provides three main classes of humans: Caucasian, Asian and Afro. For each class there is a specific set of phenotypes. Each phenotype can be loaded from the library and used as base for a custom character, or mixed with another phenotype. The available phenotypes are:
Non-human models: Anime, Elves, etcWhile the lab is aimed to create realistic 3d human beings based on a scientific description of their parameters, the same technology can be successfully applied to non-human characters, like fantasy creatures. The version 1.5.0 of the lab supports three variety of anime characters: classic shojo, modern shojo and "realistic style" anime. There are also male and female elves and male dwarf. Each model has a separate set of morphs to create millions of variations. Concerning the creation of fantasy characters, the lab supports some extra parameters for humans too, like pointed ears, special teeth, etc.. See also{{Portal|Free and open-source software}}
Current stage of developmentThough there are substantial number of audience waiting for release 1.7 of the lab, the project has been discontinued abruptly by the author, after the release 1.61a. The reason was suspected to be because of the users of Lab, did not contribute to the donation process for the amount of effort and time the author put in the work. The compatibility of the Lab is so far limited to Blender 2.79, and has not been ported to Blender 2.80 by the author. In December 2018, a new repository, based on last Bastioni's version (1.6.1a), aiming at Blender 2.80 compatibility, has been opened on GitHub with project name MB-Lab.[6] Notes and references{{Notelist}}1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_define_the_character.php#meta_parameters|title=Define the character|website=www.manuelbastioni.com|access-date=2017-05-08}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_posing_the_character.php#animations|title=Posing the character|website=www.manuelbastioni.com|access-date=2017-05-08}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_license.php|title=License|website=www.manuelbastioni.com|access-date=2017-05-08}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_base_characters.php|title=Base characters in Manuel Bastioni Lab|website=www.manuelbastioni.com|access-date=2017-05-08}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_phenotypes.php|title=Phenotypes|website=www.manuelbastioni.com|access-date=2017-05-08}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/animate1978/MB-Lab|title=MB-Lab GitHub clone|website=github.com|access-date=2019-01-31}} External links
