This is an alternative modelling software. It is however more complex to use, it is less documented and it lacks a big comunity of users behind it. The good part is that if you get to use it, then you may create new levels for this game without any other tool. However, In my work I dont think I will ever use or teach it instead of blender, sketchup etc. Pedro G. Workshop 1 Xativa (translated ipg)
