Beta v3

Broken Engine version 1.2

This is a build for testing purposes.

Beta v2

Engine Build v0.1.1

# CHANGELOG v0.1.1

### General Notes
All FBX should be exported from other programs (as 3Ds Max) in **meters**

When putting a scene, make its objects static!!! It will improve performance! You can put an object to static and it will ask if all child objects have to be static too.

Old scenes should be loaded & working.
Is your engine now :)

### General Fixes & Additions
* Solved import assets null path crash
* Aspect Ratio and screen size is fixed now for engine game builds (to fullscreen)
* Added fixed Aspect Ratio mode in editor
* Scripting (general) functions to get game pause and get/set game objects scale as well as another one to set/get UI Elements positions

### Rendering, Lighting & Materials
* Implemented Rim Light effect for materials
* Light Shadows Frustum save/load fix (wasn't loading the frusutm planes)

### Particles
* Scale Over Time separated Axis implementation
* AABBs Optimizations for particles culling and visual updates
* Particles rotations affected by GObj global rotation (modifiable from editor!)
* Particles can follow emitter now (and be affected by its orientation)
* Particles can be now meshes :D (emitters will emmit meshes)

### Physics
* Disabled PhysX debugger & improved performance by using build-version libraries of PhysX

### Animation
* Solved bug of pause resetting animation
* Normals now follow animated mesh

of its attacks and press the button by the end, when he slows down to ready for the next.

Order your songs in the right order to create melodies with powerful effects! Perform attacks
