5 things i learnt about the sandbox folder structure

5 things I learnt about the sandbox folder structure:

1) Cryengine 3 is separated into many different folders.
2) You must use the bin32 or bin64 folders to access the ".exe" files or game files
3) The game folder is where you find "pak" files for music, game data, animations, particles and various other objects that Cryengine 3 is made up of.
4) The Tools folder is where you find the plugins for maya, photoshop and 3dsmax, as well as crytoolsinstaller which allows you to install all the plugins easily.
5) The engine folder is where the shaders and the engine for the program are stored.
