The latest version of Asset Forge is now available for download. This preview release marks the biggest update of Asset Forge yet, completely rewritten from the ground up to bring numerous of new features (listed below). In the coming months we'll be rapidly releasing new preview versions based on community feedback, after the preview releases are done we will port Asset Forge 2 to other platforms including MacOS and Linux.

Known issues:

• The undo/redo function is still under construction, it might work but it...also might not work. Save often and check the save data folder for a recovery file that's often saved if you really mess up.
• Automatic UV mapping might break due to new optimizations, we're overhauling this.
• It'll always ask to save, no matter how many times you've saved.
• It's sometimes hard to see when blocks end up below the grid, if they're below the grid they can't be selected. Lower the grid (button in toolbar, or press page up/down) to select them again.
• The amount of blocks and collections is lower than previous versions, we'll be releasing content updates with new preview releases. The goal is to double the amount of blocks available by the end of January 2020.

The preview version(s) might include bugs and not work like you expect it to. If possible, please report bugs at the community forums or at bugs@kenney.nl. Thank you!
