If you would like to publish your own assets on the Asset Database so that they can be used by other CRYENGINE developers in their projects, you will first need to set up a Contributor account.

Setting up a Contributor Account

1. Open the Contributor Assets tab in the CRYENGINE Launcher and click the Contributor Account hyperlink in the center of the Contributor Assets library.
