Basics

The Basics page is designed to provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts and functions.

The Basics page is a great place to start if you're new to the Metaverse Creator Tool. This tool is a user-friendly editor that allows you to create highly-detailed scenes with drag-and-drop ease, without requiring any prior knowledge of 3D design. The tool comes pre-loaded with a wide range of assets, materials, and programmed modules, all seamlessly integrated with the drag-and-drop functionality.

User Interface

The entire UI of the creator tool can be broadly classified under 5 heads

The toolbar is a collection of essential tools required during scene creation. Hovering over each icon on the toolbar reveals its purpose. Here is a list of the functions of each tool present on the toolbar:

New Scene: This tool creates a new scene from scratch, similar to the "New File" option found in other editing software.

Load Saved Scene: This tool lets you open previously saved scenes.

Save Scene: This tool enables you to save your current scene, so you can come back to it later.

Save Scene As: This tool allows you to make a copy or variant of the current scene, which can be useful for creating backups or experimenting with different versions.

Display UI: This tool lets you hide or unhide the editor UI, giving you a full-screen view of your scene.

Undo/Redo: These tools allow you to undo or redo your actions, in case you make a mistake or want to go back to a previous step.

Lights: This tool allows you to add lights to your scene, which can dramatically change the look and feel of your environment.

Select, Translate, Rotate, Scale, Pivot World or Local, Snap: These are all tools for manipulating objects in your scene. You can select, move, rotate, scale, and snap objects to specific positions and angles.

Character: This tool allows you to add character to your scene. You need to drag and drop the option in order to get the character to the scene.

Play/Stop: These buttons allow you to play and stop your character, so you can preview your environment with your character.

Zoom Selection: This tool allows you to zoom in on the selected object.

Zoom Region: This tool allows you to zoom in on a specific region of your scene.

Isolate: This option allows you to hide all objects except for the selected object. This is useful when you want to focus on a particular object.

Unhide All Actors: This tool allows you to unhide all the hidden objects in the scene. Align Camera: This option helps you align the camera to the selected object or a group of objects.

FOV: FOV stands for "field of view." This tool allows you to adjust the field of view of the camera, which determines how much of the scene is visible.
