The Different Editors

Serious Editor 2 is a very versatile program. It contains all the editors you need for making levels, models and to some extent coding! That being said, it becomes clear that through the whole proces of making Mods or games for the Serious Engine, you'll be using the Serious Editor the most. Therefore, it would be handy if there were some tutorials explaining how this thing works. On this page you will find those tutorials and more.

You can switch editors from the bar located below the editor view(s).

You can also use 'E' to switch between editors.

• Animation Editor
• Collision Editor
• Mesh Editor
• Skeleton Editor
