Essence Editor 0.5 Release

After a few delays, finals, and a couple of bug fixes, the time has finally come for the release of the Essence Editor Character Perspective. This marks the half-way mark of the Essence Editor, which will soon include a world creation tool with terrain sculpting, static object placement, lighting, and more. This is a significant milestone in the completion of the project, and I'm glad to make its announcement my first post.

The Essence Editor Character Perspective is a part of the Project Essence tool chain and is used to create and edit textured, animated, and particle decorated character sets. These character sets can be exported into textured .mesh and decorated .anim binaries for use in Java Monkey Engine 2.0 projects.

You can download Mac and PC versions of the Essence Editor here. There, you will also find links to tutorial videos which guide you through all of the tasks you can perform using the Essence Editor.

Thank you for using the Essence Editor Character Perspective. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
