We are proud to announce that the new S2ENIGNE HD 2019.1.6 update is among us.
This new version contains a lot of new features and bugfixes.
PROCEDURAL TILES
We have introduced the new procedural tiles system that lets you to create and customize the geometry of tiles to be composed in game environments
