I-MakeHuman iwumthombo ovulekile (AGPL3) ithuluzi eliklanyelwe ukwenza lula ukudalwa kwabantu abangokoqobo kusetshenziswa i-Graphical User Interface, evame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-GUI. Leli igatsha elikhethekile lesihloko esivame kakhulu sokumodela kwe-3D. Ithimba le-MakeHuman ligxile kuleli gatsha elithile lesihloko esibanzi ukuze kuzuzwe izinga elingcono kakhulu lekhwalithi kanye nokusetshenziswa kalula kuleyo ndawo. Umgomo omkhulu uwukukwazi ukukhiqiza ngokushesha uhlu olubanzi lwabantu abangokoqobo ngokuchofoza okumbalwa kwegundane futhi ukwazi ukukunikezela noma ukuthekelisa ukuze zisetshenziswe kwamanye amaphrojekthi.

Abantu badalwa ngokukhohlisa kwezilawuli ezivumela ukuhlanganiswa kwezimfanelo zomuntu ezihlukene ukuze kudalwe izinhlamvu zabantu ezihlukile ze-3D. Izilawuli zihloselwe ukunikeza umsebenzisi indlela elula yokudala izinhlamvu eziveza uhla olubanzi kakhulu lwezinhlobo zabantu. Izimfanelo ezilawulekayo zihlukaniswe ngamaqembu amabili: ama-macro kanye nemininingwane. Izinhloso ezinkulu zibhekana nezici zobuntu jikelele ezifana nobulili, ubudala, ubude, isisindo kanye nobuhlanga. Imininingwane eqondiwe ivumela umlingisi ukuthi athuthukiswe ngokuqhubekayo ngokugxila emininingwaneni yeleveli ephansi yezinto ezifana nokuma kweso noma ubude bomunwe.

Iphrojekthi ye-MakeHuman ilwela ukuhlinzeka ngethuluzi eliphelele elivumela ukuphathwa kwazo zonke izinto ezidingekayo ukuze kwakhiwe abantu abangokoqobo abangokoqobo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi amathuluzi athile angakakhiwa noma asesigabeni sokuqala sokuthuthuka kwezinto ezifana nokuma, imijikelezo yokugqwayiza, ukuphatha isimo sobuso, izinwele nezingubo. Ngaphandle kokumodela, iningi lalawa mathuluzi lilandela indlela “yephuzu bese uchofoza” ngokusebenzisa i-MakeHuman’s Library. Ngelabhulali ye-MakeHuman, abasebenzisi bahlola kuqala futhi balayishe ukuma, imijikelezo yopopayi, isimo sobuso, izinwele, izicathulo nezingubo kumlingisi wabo. I-MakeHuman iphinde inikeze amathuluzi okuthumela abantu abangokoqobo kwamanye ama-software (njenge-Blender 3D modelling suite) lapho kungenziwa khona okunye ukulungiswa.

I-MakeHuman ithuthukiswa umphakathi wabahleli bezinhlelo, abaculi, izifundiswa nabashisekayo abanentshisekelo kumamodeli wekhompyutha we-3D wabantu.
