			<p>
					The Asset Browser allows quick searching, previewing, grouping, and managing assets.
					<br>
					It also serves as the hub for development, launching the other tools either by their icon, or by double clicking an asset.

					Assets inside the browser can also be dragged into other tools (such as Hammer).

				The Source 2 Level Editor (Hammer) is a revolutionary leap above even contemporary level editors.
				<br>
				On top of the expected brush-based manipulation, you can edit individual faces, edges, and even vertices, making it a full model editor.
				<br>
				<br>
				The new primitive in S2 is the <i>Mesh</i>, a vertex-based system, allowing concave, and complex geometry to be authored by the level designer.
