Creating a scene

An Autograph Scene is the basic project item to work with 3D. It helps you link one or multiple 3D assets but also non-destructively modify 3D objects.

To create a Scene, click on the Create Scene button in the Project Panel:

We will now see how to:

Create 3D objects from scratch
Link a 3D asset or even another Scene

Creating 3D objects

To create a new 3D object, jump to the Properties Panel of the Scene, and click on the Add button in the Outliner, :

You can currently create:

Mesh Primitives
Lights
Cameras
Xform also called null or empty
USD Primitives
Material

Linking assets and scenes

If there is at least one other Scene or 3D asset in the Project Panel, you have the possibility of linking them in your current Scene by reference. To do that, click on the Link by Reference button. You will then prompted with all of the available options:

Note

You can link the same Scene or Asset multiple times, but you can't create loops (link Scene1 in Scene2, then link Scene2 in Scene1)!
