Base elements
Every object in the divinity engine needs one or more base elements. See these elements as building blocks for the final object.
There are generally two big building blocks: resources and root templates.
Resources are base elements that represent a specific type of data, such as a texture, or a model.
Root templates are built up of resources. They represent a base template of a certain object you can place, such as a character or a chair.
Take for example a chair. A chair needs:
- A visual model resource
- Texture resource
- A physics model resource
- A root template grouping all the resources into the specific chair you want.
