models that you want to access within your MMO.

Note
Under some of the Realm Crafter editor tabs are additional tabs; I will be covering these other tabs
as we discuss each of the editor options.
You may notice in the task bar that there are two Realm Crafter icons, as shown in
Figure 4.18. The blue icon represents the Realm Crafter Project Manager dialog
box and the red icon represents the Realm Crafter Game Editor. You can close the
Realm Crafter Editor by clicking on the X in the top-right corner of the application
window. This will bring you back to the Realm Crafter Project Manager.
