Scenes in DataMesh Studio are the smallest unit of a scenario, with each containing various elements such as 3D models, pictures, videos, music, light sources, and cameras.
Scenes allow you to customize the structure of your scenarios, and you can easily switch between different scenes to ensure consistency and smooth transitions. In addition, you can group scenes together to form chapters, which can help you better organize your scenario.
Manage scenes
To manage scenes in DataMesh Studio, you can perform the following operations:
Create a new scene: Click the + button in the timeline to add a new scene at the end, or right click on a scene in the timeline and select Add Scene to add a new scene to the right of the selected scene.
Delete a scene: Right-click on the scene in the timeline and select Delete Scene.
Rename a scene: Select a scene in the timeline and click the edit button in the attributes pane to rename the scene.
Navigate the Workspace
In DataMesh Studio, the workspace offers various functions to help you adjust and explore scenes efficiently.
You can change your view of the workspace by dragging and zooming. Here are some fundamental operations:
Orbiting
To change your view of a scene around a central point, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the right mouse button anywhere in the workspace. The cursor will change to a magnifying glass, and a blue highlight will appear.
2. Move the mouse in any direction to rotate your view around a central point. This allows you to observe models from different angles, providing a comprehensive view of the scene.
Panning
To move your view on a horizontal plane without changing its angle, follow these steps:
1. Click on an empty space within the workspace.
2. While holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse to the left, right, up, or down on the screen.
3. Alternatively, you can press and hold the mouse wheel instead, leaving your left click free to perform other actions.
View height
To raise or lower your view, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard.
2. Click and hold the left mouse button in an empty area of the workspace.
3. Move your cursor up to raise your view or down to lower your view.
Zoom
To zoom in or out of a scene, you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse. Here are the steps:
1. Place the mouse cursor over the workspace.
2. Scroll up to zoom in on the scene.
3. Scroll down to zoom out of the scene.
Focus
The focus function is used to center your view on a specific element, or on the very center of the virtual environment.
The focus function includes the following operations:
Scene focus: When there is nothing selected, click the Focus button located in the top right corner of the workspace to return your view back to its original starting position, which is centered at the very middle of the virtual environment.
Element focus: After selecting an element, click the focus button in the top right corner of the workspace to focus your view on the element from the front, and at a slightly elevated position. You can also do this by double-clicking the element in the elements pane at the bottom left of the screen, and focusing on an already focused subject moves your view even closer.
View cube
The View Cube is in the top right corner of the workspace and consists of six sides representing view angles from the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom. This allows users to quickly center their view on selected elements from different directions. In addition, the cube provides an intuitive visual reference for which direction you are facing, ensuring that users can easily reorient themselves when they need to.
The view cube allows you to center your view on either the scene, or a selected element:
Centered on the scene center: If no elment is selected, clicking on any face of the cube will focus your view onto the scene center from the direction that the face corresponds to.
Centered on the element: If an element is selected, clicking on any face of the cube will focus your view onto the element from the direction that the face corresponds to.
Projection modes
DataMesh Studio supports two projection modes: perspective projection and orthographic projection.
To switch the projection mode of the scene, you can click the projection toggle button in the workspace.
1. Perspective Projection (Default)
Perspective projection is a projection mode where objects appear smaller when they are farther away from your view, and larger when they are closer.
2. Orthographic Projection
Orthographic projection is a projection mode where objects are the same size regardless of the distance away from your view. This provides a more technical view of the scene and is helpful when you want to easily access elements that are far away.
Set scene transitions
In scenarios with consecutive scenes in different locations, or if you would like to utilize dynamic camera movement, scene transitions are crucial for controlling the flow of the scenario.
In DataMesh Studio, there are several different ways to set scene transitions:
1. Attributes pane: You can configure scene transitions directly in the attributes pane. This allows you to define the transition type and specify the target scene. For more information, please refer to Set scene attributes.
2. Buttons: This allows viewers to navigate between scenes while the scenario is playing. For more details, please refer to Button.
3. Elements: Links allow you to give elements navigational properties when interacted with them. For more details, please refer to Link.
Set scene attributes
When you click the empty space in the workspace, the attributes pane will display the scene attributes.
The attributes of a scene will be shown as follows:
A. The scene name, along with a button that allows you to rename the scene
B. Play Next Scene:
a). On Click: When the user clicks on the scene, it will transition to the next scene.
b). Autoplay After: This allows you to set a timer that every scene will follow, which is useful when you want every scene to be the same length. Once the timer runs out, the scenario will automatically progress to the next scene.
C. Ground opacity: Change the opacity of the ground in the scene.
A scenario is a .dirpkg file created and edited in DataMesh Studio that consists of multiple scenes, each containing user-added models, pictures, attachments, text, and tools etc. In a scenario, not only you can compose and structure each scene, but also animate dynamic transitions in between the scenes. Scenario management is available in the Digital Assets service module of the DataMesh FactVerse Services platform.

In DataMesh Importer, you can choose either the built-in rendering environment or customize the rendering environment for creation, making the virtual scene realistic and immersive.
To change the rendering environment, you can follow these steps:
1. Click on the Settings menu and select Change rendering environment from the dropdown menu. You can open the Change rendering environment window.
2. In the Change rendering environment window, you can choose one of the following system-built rendering environments:
None: No specific environment rendering effects
Default
Cloudy outdoors
Empty hall
Streets in the city
Abandoned warehouse
Spacious and bright warehouse
Old and cluttered factory
Cozy and neat kitchen
You can also create a custom rendering environment to suit the background and sky effects for different scene requirements and creative purposes.
Steps for custom reflection environment:
1. Prepare six images: These images should correspond to the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom directions of the rendering environment. The images should be in PNG format and follow English naming conventions (Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Bottom).
2. Compress these images into a zip file and change its extension to .dmcm.
3. Upload this .dmcm file to the resource library on the DataMesh FactVerse platform.
4. In DataMesh Importer, click on the Settings menu and select Change rendering environment from the dropdown menu to open the Change rendering environment window.
5. In the Change rendering environment window, select the Custom tab and click Select rendering environment.
6. In the window for Select rendering environment, find the uploaded .dmcm file.
7. After selecting the file, click the Confirm button to complete the customization of the rendering environment.

Node structure directory
The Node structure directory is a feature in DataMesh Importer that displays the hierarchical structure and node relationships of the imported 3D models. The Node structure directory can help you better manage and control the structure of the imported 3D model. You can select, deselect, and merge nodes as needed to flexibly adjust the model’s hierarchical structure. This can improve the model’s operability and flexibility, making it easier for you to perform subsequent model editing and scene creation work.
In the Node structure directory, you can perform the following operations:
Smart Select All: With Smart Select All, you can quickly select or deselect all nodes for batch operations.
Single node selection: Each node has a checkbox that you can click to select or deselect the node. Through the checkbox, you can selectively control the components of the model. When you upload the model, the selected nodes will be uploaded as separate objects, while the unselected nodes will be merged into other nodes.
Fast select same level Nodes: By double-clicking the checkbox of a node, you can quickly select or deselect all nodes at the same level. This feature makes it convenient for you to perform mass selection or deselection operations on nodes at the same level.
Note: When the number of nodes exceeds 500, you need to manually select the nodes.
Scene area
The Scene area can load and display imported 3D models. Users can import various format model files (such as FBX, GLTF, OBJ, etc.) and present them as realistic 3D objects in the Scene area. Users can freely browse and observe the model in the Scene area.
When loading and displaying imported 3D models in the Scene area, users can use the following methods to adjust the scene perspective:
Rotate the scene: Hold down the right mouse button at any position in the scene and move the mouse horizontally to rotate the scene in all directions for a comprehensive view of the model.
Pan the scene: To move the scene to the left, right, forward, or backward in the scene, click on a blank area in the scene, hold down the left mouse button, and drag the mouse to the left, right, or up and down on the screen. You can also hold down the mouse wheel and drag the mouse in the direction you want to pan.
Zoom the scene: To zoom in and out of the scene, you can use the scroll wheel on the mouse. Scroll up to zoom in and scroll down to zoom out.
Raise and lower the scene: To raise and lower the scene, hold down the Shift key and the left mouse button, and move up and down on the blank area of the scene. Move up to lower the scene and move down to raise the scene.
Attributes area (Model attributes pane)
The Model Attributes pane displays the current model’s performance on various platforms and its basic attribute information. At the same time, the attributes pane provides material editing functions that allow users to adjust and modify the model’s materials. Users can choose the type of material ball for the model (such as metal, wood, plastic, etc.), or customize the color, glossiness, roughness, and other attributes of the material to achieve the desired visual effect.
Available Platforms: The platform availability indicates the availability of models on different platforms. The size and complexity of the model’s structure can affect its performance on different platforms. When using DataMesh Importer to open a model, we will prompt you to see whether the DataMesh application on three platforms supports the model’s normal operation.
Triangular Faces: The Triangular Faces refers to the number of triangular faces in the model. It is an important indicator for measuring model complexity and detail level. Higher face counts usually mean more details and more refined appearance but may also lead to performance burdens. In DataMesh Importer, when the face count of the model is too large, it may affect the use of the application and give corresponding prompts.
Vertices: The model vertices refer to the total number of vertices in the model. Vertices are the basic building blocks of the model, forming polygons by connecting vertices, thus forming the entire model. The vertices are related to the detail and complexity of the model. A high vertex may increase rendering and computational burdens. Therefore, when using DataMesh Importer, if the vertices of the model are too large, prompts may be given.
Textures: The texture count refers to the number of texture images applied to the model. Textures can give the model visual effects such as color, texture, and reflection. Increasing the number of textures may increase memory usage and render burdens. In DataMesh Importer, the textures can provide an evaluation of the model’s texture usage, allowing users to understand the details of the model.
Materials: The materials represent the number of materials used in the model. Materials define the characteristics of the model’s surface, such as color, transparency, metallicity, and smoothness. In DataMesh Importer, users can edit and adjust each material, including modifying properties such as color, transparency, metallicity, and smoothness. Understanding the number of materials in the model can help users understand the changes in appearance and detail control of the model.
Animation: When the model has built-in animation, users can click the Play button to play it.
