With this new version of Babylon.js, we set out to make it even easier to develop with. From a ton of new tools, to improved workflows and features, new documentation and more, it is our sincere hope that Babylon.js 4.2 will make your development process faster and easier while unlocking new simple ways to work. The core focus of Babylon.js 4.2 has been around simplicity. While Babylon.js keeps its code-first approach, we’ve added many tools in the Inspector and enhanced the Node Material Editor to save time to developers and Tech Artists. With the Particle Editor, you can now create and configure particle systems with the click of the mouse.
