Creating Custom Content

Perhaps the greatest attraction for some, is the promise of being able to create custom content. What is custom content, you may ask. Well, players may contribute 3D Models, Textures, and Sound bytes either directly to staff or by making use of this content on their personal world server. This then is downloaded into the client files of any player who visits your world.

First off your going to need the [Universal Model Converter]. This will not only allow you to convert your .3ds or .x 3D Models, but is also useful for see how your Textures fit on them.
