There isn't even a need for the "predesigned" anymore. It can create entirely random designs with a single click. You can dig deep into the design process, but you'll only interact with the UI. There is no more interaction with the 3D model.

Is this meant in-game from a player's perspective or as a mod creator/designer?

Player. See Bounty #2 for more details. But in short, It's an attempt to fix 14 years of feedback from people complaining about designing vehicle bodies in the game because this is the capital I didn't have, required to replace the artwork as needed. (If you're worried about old designs, both systems will work in the game simultaneously. If you select a mk1 body, you get the old designer. If you select a mk2, you get the new designer. Eventually, we'll allow you to toggle either off in the settings.)

For modders (I believe there was only one artwork modder out there,) you'll need to create a .scene file. All body parts will need to be separate meshes in that scene. You'll have to include the category, mesh/parts, and animation images in a .xml file (likely with a tool) and list animations and preset poses for each model. Also, you'll need to link the animations to the other meshes that share the same changes. That's the current plan. I'm still awaiting some sample files to confirm that's the path it will go in the backend.
