It was created to be distributed along the game and let users create their models (characters, trees, buildings, etc) and maps, and share and play them
Integrated development tools to create all objects, maps, and scripts necessary to build Serious Sam 2 levels.
You can create a model (a human shaped model of the player), or anything you can find during the gameplay (like trees, enemies, weapons, projectiles, statues, buildings, etc). Once your models are created (you can use existing ones, however), you can create and shape a terrain, and put your objects anywhere on it. You may program the behaviour and response of any object, and schedule events to happen during gameplay.
It can import most popular 3d models formats from other 3d modelling programs, as long as they meet some rules.

The support is mainly focused on forums. The drawback of these tools is their extremely difficult learning needed.

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)
