The following new tools are required.

This standalone tool will enable artists to create NeL materials and set NeL properties on meshes from any 3D modeling package. This replaces the NeL material and properties plugins for 3ds Max.

A standalone tool to enable artists to create complete landscapes, scene arrangements, etc. from scratch. Akin to HL's Hammer tool. This is for building all the offline data related to a landscape. May include some basic environmental interactivity! This replaces NeL patch plugin and painter for 3ds Max. It should also allow for generating PACS collisions automatically, and designing indoors areas using simple primitives similar to Hammer.

Embeds a Georges editor. Also covers tree placement, and environment sounds.

A tool to replace Georges and World Editor. Should provide a 2D and 3D view of the world. Basic functionality of World Editor, save files should be in the same primitive format. Should have GUI sugar such as drag and drop pallette, similar to what the Ryzom Ring provides. May re-use 3D elements from Ryzom Ring for the 3D view.
