Scenes

A Scene acts as a container for a configuration and can be used to present and visualize individual or multiple products.

Different types of Scenes can be defined for this purpose:

  • An empty scene with a white or colored background, or with an artificial horizon
    → Advantage: Focus on the product
    Example: Jovie, E-Line in single configuration

  • A scene with a "base surface", where the configurable object is placed.
    The surface can either match the background color or visually stand out from it.
    It is also possible to use shaders to display surfaces (e.g. grass, water).
    → Advantage: Shadows on the surface, dynamic background makes the product visualization more vivid
    Example: Concrete mixer on a white surface, Seabob on water

  • A scene with a complete room/environment situation
    → Advantage: Product can be displayed in a contextual and sales-promoting way
    Example: Room doors, Jovie in a street scene, lighting in a room

By clicking the “Create” button in the CRUD component, a new Scene can be created.
Existing Scenes can be edited or viewed via the “inline icons”.

Fields​

  • Code (mandatory)
    → Technical name of the Scene.
    Can be freely chosen, but must follow naming conventions and be unique within Scenes.

  • Descriptions (optional)
    → Multilingual description of the Scene

    • de_de = Basis Szene
    • en_en = Base Scene
    • …

Scene-Information Tab (Create)​

When creating a new Scene:

  • Code is required.
  • Description can be maintained in multiple languages.

Actions:

Creating a SceneConfiguration​

By clicking the “Create” button in the CRUD component, a new SceneConfiguration can be created.
Existing SceneConfigurations can be edited or viewed via the “inline icons”.

    Example: BaseScene

  • SpawnPoint (mandatory)
    → A SpawnPoint must be selected (which must be defined beforehand under SpawnPoints).
    The SpawnPoint defines the position and orientation of the 3D object in this Scene.
    Example: Center

  • Descriptions (optional)
    → Multilingual description of the SceneConfiguration

    • de_de = Basis Szene
    • en_en = Base Scene
    • …

SceneConfiguration-Tab (Create)​
