The problem you are talking about is more about adapting the morphology of the body to a new skeleton. That's something managed in MakeHuman through scaling and morph targets I think. The problem of the retargeting of the animations is different: if you define a walk animation for a small guy, then if you apply naively this animation to a big guy with much bigger legs, then the legs will go through the floor or through each other. Every such motion is in fact adapted to the limb proportions of the skeleton, you can scale the whole skeleton, but if you scale separately some limbs then the animation of those limbs will need to be adapted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
