From their website:
Downloaded this last year and completely forgot to tell anyone about it.....
It makes a customizable human (or humanoid) mesh model exportable as an OBJ file so you can pull it up in your favourite modelling program. (it does tend to come in a few bits, head, heads for reassembly - at least in Blender). The resulting model is hugely detailed, weighing in at a massive poly count (40,000+ and akeep counting) and whilst not so unseful for gaming on it's own, it is a great template/reference for the human body in 3D from which the inexperienced modeller can use as a source to trace their own lowpoly human model and keep everything in realistic proportion. Useful for a better understanding of the human form in 3D and all comes in GNU GPL 3.
