+## Key Features
+* Save and load skin data with speed
+  - Logic is written in c++ but exposed with python bindings
+
+* Work directly with numpy ndarrays
+  - The python bindings accept and return numpy ndarrays for optimal performance
+
+* Currently supported DCCs:
+  - 3DsMax:
+  	- Provided bindings are for 2022, but the backend should be compatible with any version of 3DsMax that has python
