At the risk of stimulating perverts...
MakeHuman is a very cool and free tool to generate physiologically correct human models that can be posed by moving around sliders to affect characteristics. I see potential in MakeHuman for diversifying our human lineup. But, rigging isn't implemented yet. Neither is hair, clothes, materials. So, you will still have to export to blender to handle these essential components and also cut down the polycount. Nonetheless, the number of transformations you can do on the base model is amazing. Check it out. Partial nudity though, but private parts are hidden by default.

Hmm Nice. I'm glad it's for all the operating systems (Okay, most) or else we might have a flamewar on our hands..

How do you get the MakeHuman format converted to .md3?

obj->blend->md3 (if possible)

This should be of use in converting to md3. To get it into blender you must export as .obj from MakeHuman as forque said.

Edit: We are on the verge of their next release of MakeHuman, which the devs have been working on for the past 10 months or so. Loads of new features and most likely even clothes. Stay tuned. I give them 5-10 days :)

Where did you get your information from? The team from MakeHuman is working with ninibelabs because of the potential for makehuman in game applications.

No, it isn't currently. But, can you read?

Dudes... I don't get what's making it hard for people to mentally bridge Makehuman and games. Just import into blender, decimate some polygons and rig. Do the animations, skin, and export as md3. Its not like the models generated in MH aren't appropriate for games. Human models are human models, you decide their purpose.

This potential is already accessible. They are still adding elements such as auto rigging, clothes, etc. but the mesh work is pretty much complete. And even if it wasn't intended to be for game applications (but it is, among other applications), no one is stopping you from using it as such.

I'd rather model from stretch. this is too much work
when I use decimate on makehuman model is randomly placed polygons that look ugly in-game
game models need special care

Yeah, my apologies, there doesn't seem to be any automagic way to get it into low poly. I have tried mesh->scripts->poly reducer, but the geometry becomes asymmetric and the hands and feet and head look horrible. However, I believe its possible to cut the mesh in half then duplicate it for the other half and also only poly reduce the body at high levels while doing the hands/feet/head at lower levels. I will experiment some more and post my results. Forque, how many polys is considered good for game use? 500-600 verts?

Edit: The base human model for trem comes in over 1000 verts, but split into diff parts
