+HMDL Export Blender Addon
+By Jack Andersen <jackoalan@gmail.com>
+
+This Python module provides a generator implementation for
+the 'HMDL' mesh format designed for use with HECL.
+
+The format features three main sections:
+* Shader table
+* Skin-binding table
+* Mesh table (VBOs [array,element], VAO attribs, drawing index)
+
+The Shader table provides index-referenced binding points
+for mesh-portions to use for rendering. 
+
+The Skin-binding table provides the runtime with identifiers
+to use in ensuring the correct bone-transformations are bound
+to the shader when rendering a specific primitive.
+
+The Mesh table contains Vertex and Element buffers with interleaved
+Positions, Normals, UV coordinates, and Weight Vectors
