    MakeHuman vs DesignDoll opinions
    This alternative is disputed. MakeHuman is still a legitimate alternative to DesignDoll, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

    MakeHuman is for creating character models, not posing them.

    Very complex interface, and I really just need something to pose puppets in so I can use them as references for drawing.
