+[bevy_fbx] is a pre-alpha library to load FBX (Autodesk Filmbox) files
+into [bevy] 0.8, based on [fbxcel-dom].
+It currently:
+
+- Loads geometry and meshes
+- Loads mesh attributes such as color
+- Loads default material diffuse textures, normal maps and emissive maps
+- Loads the custom Maya PBR materials, including all material textures
+- Load the scene tree and translate it to bevy's hierarchy
+
+Planned features include providing a basic Lambert/Phong shader
+to better handle more standard materials,
+loading animations and skinned mesh skeletons/rigs.
+
+The project is poorly tested and is looking for testers. It will soon be
+available on crates.io.
