It was a Blender extension. Now makehuman is a standalone tool and you can export the model in OBJ format.
OBJ u can import in Blender (or other sw 3d), there u can modify the model and make a character of course. Need proper animation data and proper export from Blender of each pose. I have no experience to make a nexuiz player model but you can read this topics and i hope help you:

well, makehuman is still in alpha/development stage, it's usable but it's a bit buggy (at least on ubuntu). But, of course it could be useful to sketch humanoid figures and then export them to Blender. Personally I don't like this kind of softwares (makehuman, poser, ) very much, because they steal a lot of fun! . I recommend you to use always uptodated versions, because they're more stable

Thank for reply...I have do this post only to info for developers...because as i have wrote i can't use blender(maybe i will learn).But i think that human models are less easyer than android or alien models to do...

i have used makehuman before, and the models it exports are way to high poly to use as player models, however they are very good to use as reference to make your own lower poly version

You can reduce the polycount in Blender very nicely. Makehuman is a very good tool if you use it properly.

oh yeah, i forgot about that. i never really use the poly reducer script

sorry to double post, but I have new information

i tried messing around with makehuman+blender's poly reducer script, and I finally got a fairly nice result, at about 4232 faces. I am going to try and animate it, but I don't know how well it will turn out, as the one bad thing about the script is it ruins the topology. I will post the results later
