    Hi, I'm a developer helping my son learn some Unity for a school project. I'm finding it extremely hard to find anything our tutorials ask us to do in the app.

    https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/creating-ragdolls-2019/?tab=overview#

    The first thing we're to do is "click and drag your character Prefab to the Hierarchy." The screenshot shows a prefab named "Eva" in Assets > Prefabs. My Assets folder doesn't have a Prefabs folder. I found Prefabs in ExampleAssets but I don't see this prefab there. I feel like I'm to download something or open a supplied project, but the tutorial doesn't provide anything.

    What am I missing?

    You're right, they seem to have goofed on that one. I don't see a download link either.

    This is a pretty advanced tutorial; I'd recommend starting with one of the more beginner-level ones (which hopefully provide the resources they refer to). But if you really want to play with ragdolls, you should be able to complete this one with any humanoid character. I believe you'll find a few in the standard assets, or you can certainly get some (even free) from the Asset Store.

    Hi @jeremy_unity403

    This tutorial has been updated to now include the character model showcased in the tutorial (click the "Tutorial Materials" tab to download it).

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

    Cheers,
    James
