The aim of this tutorial is to show how to create cuddly toys based on the models of atysian animals.

Object of the month: creating and deploying cudlly toys "Atys' mobs" in game

Prerequisite for modelising only the cuddly toy:

• Having installed Ryzom assets and properly set-up the repositories (NEL tools expect to find the assets in the W:\database folder).
• Having installed 3DSMax and set-up the NEL plugin (Beware the plugin works only with versions 32bits of 3DSMax, and from version 9 till version 2012).
• Advised but not mandatory: having installed the NEL tool "tga2dds.exe".

Prerequisite for deploying the cuddly toy on a game server:

• Having compiled and installed a game server, and having set-up a client to use it.

Note: it is possible to test this cuddly toy IG without having a game server through a trick which will be explained a bit further in this tutorial.

Some usefeul linkds for these prerequisites:

• Downloading the assets and tools: https://ryzomcore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RC/Downloads+for+Windows
• Set-up of the readers: https://ryzomcore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RC/How+to+set+up+the+Build+Pipeline
• Insalling the NEL plugin of 3DSMax: https://ryzomcore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RC/Installing+the+Max+Plugins

Step 1: choosing the model we'll use for our cuddly toy

All 3d models for Ryzom fauna are gathered in the "W:\database\stuff\tryker\agents\monsters" folder, by creature family. In this tutorial, we'll use the "Gubani" model, which is located in the "horse" ("cheval" in French) folder, to create our cuddly toy:

W:\database\stuff\tryker\agents\monsters\cheval\h12tr_mo_h12.max

Step 2: Getting the model and creating a dedicated work folder
