I found this script for Blender
It makes lo-poly human character meshes in a manner similar to MakeHuman

thanks for finding this.
with some changes:
adding eyes, tags, basic animations ...
we could use this as template for human characters.
will test it soon.

if anyone can get the human stuff like this in sandbox, I'll be glad to skin a few.

there's a problem on import, a kind of offset problem between skel and mesh which makes the model broken.
i try to fix this.

btw: the model is very well rigged. a simple walk cycle was done in a few minutes.

hi all,
you have to delete a bunch of vertex groups before exporting the model, their names begin with:
Bone. and Bone_
(e.g. Bone.009 of Bone.009_L)
these groups belongs to the morph targets and no longer needed (after finishing morphing).
dont delete group Bone.

you need to add animations by yourself ... sure

i've made a simple walkcycle for testing purpose, it works.
we just need to add the tags for the model (tag_weapon, shield muzzle).
