Select one of the available genders and click the selection square to see the available starting humans. If needed, you can use the categories dropdown to narrow down the selection. Press **Generate new human** to generate the selected preset at the location of the 3D cursor (you place the 3D cursor in Blender with `shift + right click`). ![[CleanShot 2023-04-06 at 00.18.29.gif]] > [!info] > If you've already generated a human, and want to **generate another one**, but the creation panel is not showing: > - Select an object in the scene that is not part of a human, (i.e. the camera). > - OR use the `deselect` button in the header of the Human Generator panel > > ![[CleanShot 2023-04-06 at [email protected]]] > [!hint]- Python API - Creating new humans > To get a list of possible starting humans, use this code: > ```python > from HumGen3D import Human > gender = "female" # or "male" > starting_human_options = Human.get_preset_options(gender) > ``` > To create the human in the Blender scene: > ```python > chosen_preset = starting_human_options[0] > human = Human.from_preset(chosen_preset) > ``` > > For more info, see the [[API/Overview]] >[!example] Save your edits as a starting human >You can also add your own starting humans.
