Modular assets encompass a variety of elements such as caves, corridors, buildings, connecting rooms, vents, pipes, entire indoor map sections, and more. They are designed to interconnect with each other in a selective yet repetitive manner.
But what facilitates the seamless and effortless connection between these modules? In the past, it was manual labor. Today, it’s MALLET: Modular Asset Manager.
