Modding Tutorial Contest #1
[Submissions Closed]
Winner: @Garuga123](Garuga123 - ARK - Official Community Forums)
I would like to announce the first ARK Modding Tutorial contest.
The topic of this first contest is the addition of new creatures; more specifically, a pipeline from start to finished product. The ideal tutorial for this contest focuses on starting from the creation of assets to linking them up in the ARK Dev Kit. The objective is not to include how to use the separate tools; but rather, how to find them, set any output settings that are necessary for ARK assets, link their outputs, and put together a final unique creature. There is no restriction on what tools are part of the pipeline (Aside from the ARK Dev Kit, that has to be part of the process

), but a pipeline that is accessible to a broader audience is preferred.
Give the audience a top-down view of the terms and guidelines they need to do more in-depth research as they progress from start to finish. The tutorial should not assume that the viewer knows the involved tools or systems beyond the minimal creation of a barebones mod in the ARK Dev Kit (do not expand the tutorial to include them, but include references to information so that they can learn more).
