See [Create with templates](/docs/en-us/art/characters/creating.md#template-files) for important information on using these template files. Each `.zip` contains a `.blend`, `.fbx`, and PBR texture `.png` files for that template model. If using Blender or following the [template creation guides](/docs/en-us/art/characters/creating.md), use the `.blend` project. > **Warning:** If you are using Roblox's avatar template files, you must perform the [cleanup steps](/docs/en-us/art/characters/creating/combine-head-geometry.md) in order for the assets to properly validate before publishing to the Marketplace. #### Head Shapes _ Round_ Female: [RoundFemale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/RoundFemale.zip) Male: [RoundMale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/RoundMale.zip) _ Square_ Female: [SquareFemale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/SquareFemale.zip) Male: [SquareMale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/SquareMale.zip) _ Muzzle_ Female: [MuzzleFemale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/MuzzleFemale.zip) Male: [MuzzleMale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/MuzzleMale.zip) #### Realistic _ Realistic_ Female: [SemiRealisticFemale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/SemiRealisticFemale.zip) Male: [SemiRealisticMale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/SemiRealisticMale.zip) #### Anime _ Anime_ Female: [AnimeFemale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/AnimeFemale.zip) Male: [AnimeMale.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/AnimeMale.zip) #### Stylized _ Stylized_ Single body: [Stylized.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/StylizedHuman.zip) #### Caricature _ Caricature_ Single body: [Caricature.zip](../../assets/art/reference-files/Caricature.zip)
