The POV-Person model and all of it's component parts were created from scratch by members of the POV-Person team to be used
with the POV-Ray raytracing software. Currently only a head is provided. The head is split into individual 'include' files
for the different component parts, which can be manipulated independently.

To create a complete person, an 'adapter' is provided that enables this model to be used with the BlobMan 4.2 macros. The POV-Person file 'HeadforBlobMan.inc' scales the POV-Person head and slices it into two pieces, separating the head and the neck. The 'adapter' positions the two parts using BlobMan variables so that they can be used to construct a BlobMan person.
An example of using this 'adapter' is provided with POV-Person in the file 'POVPersonSample.pov'.
