I-MakeHuman sisixhobo esivulelekileyo (AGPL3) esenzelwe ukwenza lula ukudalwa kwabantu benyani usebenzisa i-Graphical User Interface, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-GUI. Eli lisebe elikhethekileyo lomxholo othe gabalala we-3D modelling. IQela le-MakeHuman lijolise kweli candelo elithile lesifundo esibanzi ukuze kuphunyezwe umgangatho ongcono kakhulu kunye nokulula ukusetyenziswa kuloo ndawo. Eyona njongo iphambili kukukwazi ukuvelisa ngokukhawuleza uluhlu olubanzi lwabantu abanenyani ngokucofa nje okumbalwa kwe mouse kwaye ukwazi ukunikezela okanye ukuthumela ngaphandle ukuze basetyenziswe kwezinye iiprojekthi.

Abantu badalwe ngokusetyenziswa kolawulo oluvumela ukudityaniswa kweempawu zobuntu ezahlukeneyo ukwenza iimpawu zobuntu ze-3D ezizodwa. Ulawulo lwenzelwe ukunika umsebenzisi indlela elula yokuyila iimpawu ezibonisa ubuninzi obunokwenzeka beendlela zomntu. Iimpawu ezilawulekayo zohlulwe zibe ngamaqela amabini: macro kunye neenkcukacha. Iithagethi ezinkulu zijongana neempawu zabantu ngokubanzi ezifana nesini, ubudala, ubude, ubunzima kunye nobuhlanga. Iithagethi zeenkcukacha zivumela ukuba umlingiswa ahlanjululwe ngakumbi ngokugxininisa kwiinkcukacha ezisezantsi zezinto ezifana nokuma kwamehlo okanye ubude bomunwe.

Iprojekthi ye-MakeHuman izama ukubonelela ngesixhobo esipheleleyo esivumela ukulawulwa kwazo zonke izinto ezifunekayo ukudala abantu abanokwenyani. Oku kuquka ezinye izixhobo ezingekadalwa okanye ezikwinqanaba lokuqala lophuhliso kwizinto ezifana nokuma, imijikelo yopopayi, ukulawula inkangeleko yobuso, iinwele kunye nempahla. Ngaphandle kokwenza imodeli, uninzi lwezi zixhobo zilandela indlela "yokucofa kwaye ucofe" ngokusebenzisa iThala leencwadi leMakeHuman. Ngethala leencwadi le-MakeHuman, abasebenzisi bajonga kuqala kunye nokuma komthwalo, imijikelo yoopopayi, inkangeleko yobuso, iinwele, izihlangu kunye neempahla kumlingiswa wabo. I-MakeHuman ikwabonelela ngezixhobo zokuthumela ngaphandle abantu ngokwenyani kwezinye iisoftware (ezifana ne-Blender 3D modeling suite) apho kunokwenziwa ulungiso olungakumbi.

I-MakeHuman iphuhliswa luluntu lwabacwangcisi, amagcisa, izifundiswa kunye nabanomdla kwimodeli yekhompyuter ye-3D yabantu.
