    The font shown in the example is stressed; this means that strokes have varying widths. In this example, the stroke at the top of the "g" is thinner at the top and bottom than on the sides – a vertical stress. Fonts without any variation in the stroke width are known as monoline fonts.

    The interface is easy to use, with fast and intuitive access to the numerous parameters required in modeling the human form. The development of MakeHuman is derived from a detailed technical and artistic study of the morphological characteristics of the human body.

  5. Body proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_proportions

    Body proportions is the study of artistic anatomy, which attempts to explore the relation of the elements of the human body to each other and to the whole. These ratios are used in depictions of the human figure and may become part of an artistic canon of body proportion within a culture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_and_Meta...

    Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer: Theory and Experiments is a 1968 book by John C. Lilly. In the book, "the doctor imagines the brain as a piece of computer technology." [1] More specifically, he uses "the analogy of brain being the hardware, the mind being the software and consciousness being beyond both." [2]

  8. Body shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_shape

    Body shape has effects on body posture [30] and gait, and has a major role in physical attraction. This is because a body's shape implies an individual's hormone levels during puberty, which implies fertility, and it also indicates current levels of sex hormones. [1] A pleasing shape also implies good health and fitness of the body. Posture ...

  9. Computational human phantom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_human_phantom

    The shape and volume of a NURBS surface vary with the coordinates of control points. This feature is useful in designing a time-dependent 4D human body modeling. [34] An example is given by NCAT phantoms by Segars et al., which is used to simulate cardiac and respiratory motions with more realistic modeling of the cardiac system.
