A small MakeHuman blog entry states that the alpha3 release will support edge loops.

There was a small announcement on the MakeHuman blog that just simply says that the meshes in the alpha4 release will support edge loops for standard body measurements.

MakeHuman version 1 has now been released as an Alpha testing release.

MakeHuman Alpha 1 has been released. This is a follow up to the pre release Alpha test. This is an Alpha release which means there will be bugs and instability. It has been put out for testers to find any critical bugs.

As per the release notes:

This Alpha 1 release provides the 1st formal testing release for the functionality that has been implemented to date. This is not a full-function release and, most notably, does not provide functionality to allow the figure to be posed. It does include examples of all of the different tools and techniques that this software will provide to enable you to easily model the anatomy of a human figure, although some of these functions are not yet complete and are not necessarily in their final form.

MakeHuman 1.0 pre-alpha is released

MakeHuman has been in development for what seems like an eternity. But now all the work being put into it has now been released publicly for all to try out.

MakeHuman is similar to Poser where it allows you to create realistic human models and pose them. These can be rendered as is or exported to another 3D program to be used in a 3D scene, for instance creating 3D movies.

This is a pre alpha release though so don't expect the full bells and whistles.

Currently it is missing the posing abilities but does show of the new techniques for creating realistic models based on ethnicity, gender and age.

This version can also use Aqsis, Pixie, Povray to use as it's rendering engine.
