# Adding Custom Pet with ModelEngine

Adding a pet with model engine it's the same that [**Adding Custom Pet**](/untitled/thepets/adding-custom-pet.md), but the difference is that you need to modify the path "pet-egg.petModelEngine" and set the **Model Id** and **ModelEngine Animation Id** to your favorite settings.
