And now, let’s understand creation blueprints. These blueprints serve as the foundation of creativity, enabling players to shape the game world with their unique vision and imagination. Blueprints are essential templates that outline the design and functionality of various in-game assets.
How it works in the Creator Tool:
When you open the Creator Tool browser, it will open the blueprints menu. Here, you can pick the community contest you want to participate in and based on this you can choose to whether to spawn from bone structure of the creation to create from scratch or spawn a template creation and continue from there.

The blueprints introduce dynamic elements that players can engage with directly. These creations add an extra layer of interactivity to the game, offering both functional and immersive experiences.
Blueprints can range from mounts and companions to enemies and NPCs that players can encounter and interact with.
