+# README for model prototypes
+
+These files are the most basic human male and female characters created with the [MakeHuman](http://www.makehumancommunity.org/) [MPFB]() plugin for [Blender](https://www.blender.org/). At this stage, they're created by somone (me) who has absolutely no experience with Blender. They're here only to serve as proof of concept prototypes, to get the whole process bootstrapped.
+
+The models are intended to be nude, and bald, so that hair and clothing can be applied later (although how this will work I don't yet understand), with eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, teeth and tongue. The `.blend` files are the original files. The `.glb` files are exported by Blender. The `.j3o` files are created by reading the `.glb` files into [Maud](https://github.com/stephengold/Maud) and saving them. They are intended to have the standard MPFB 'rig helpers'.
+
+At this stage, the (.glb) model when loaded into Maud, appears to be clothed, although there is nothing I have done to clothe it and the original `.blend` does not appear to be clothed in Blender. However, interestingly, when I import the `.glb` file back into blender I get only the rig, so I'm doing something wrong.
+
+The model prototypes that should be here are
+
+* female.blend
+* female.glb
+* female.j3o
+* male.blend
+* male.glb
+* male.j3o
+
+They're not included in the git repository at present because
+
+1. They're large binary files;
+2. They're really, really not very good;
+3. You can do better yourself if you just do what I've described above.
+
+Once I have all this working I will probably include model prototypes in the repository.
