	We may use fan made videos to spread the word about the game, and what it looks like in game. You should record the videos using an external program, and then edit the video as you wish. There are already a number of fan made videos on youtube, and having more is surely a benefit for advertizing PS. Also if you think your video is great, you can submit it to us to be posted in the [http://www.youtube.com/user/PlaneShiftOfficial Official PlaneShift YouTube channel].

			== Icons ==

			Quite often we add new items in game and we do not have the time or resources to add new icons to be displayed in the inventory window. In general we tend to reuse existing/similar icons, mainly for quest items. In certain cases a new icon is anyway nice to have because there is no other similar already in game. If you want to create any of those, you can test your icons by opening art/materias.zip in your planeshift folder and checking the files name "*_icon.dds". Please do a backup of that file in case you are modifying it or the updater will find it broken/different and will redownload it all. For information about DDS and DXT compression, see [[Game Textures\|this article]].

			== Full areas ==

			Making a new full area is not an easy task! So we suggest you to start with simpler items first and also to contact us directly discussing which areas you want to create.

			In any case to create an area, review our [[tools pipeline]] document.

			Also you will need walktest to be able to view the exported level. The level CANNOT be seen directly in PlaneShift client as it requires to be packaged together with all other levels. That's not something you can do by yourself.

			== Skins for the game User Interface ==

			One good resource for UI changes and skins is [http://greatshift.111mb.de/ GreatShift]


	== Rendered scenes ==		== Rendered scenes ==

	Mainly for press, articles and advertizing we need trailers, rendered scenes and videos. Those can be made of existing models or new models. If you are interested in creating such kind of rendered scenes, it's bests if you first contact us, as you will probably need access to the existing models.
