Hi folks,

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a humanoid model I could import to Shapr3D to assist with modelling wearables?

I’ve read a bit about ‘makehuman’ but I can’t export into a filetype that Shapr3D can import. On that note, will I be able to import dae or obj files any time soon?

Thanks in advance

Hi guy!

At this step, Shapr doesn’t support directly mesh files like STL OBJ , etc. but there is a simple straightforward way just takes 60 seconds but indirect solution and that is to use FreeCad to make an STEP or IGES file out of mesh files. It’s easy, look at this one:
