The Resources pane can be divided into two sections: My Resources and Libraries.
My Resources
My Resources section contains a variety of resources uploaded by users, which can be used to build 3D scenes.
-
- Filter: You can filter resources by tags in order to display all resources that have that tag.
- Storage Directory: The file path to your current folder. Click
to return to the previous folder. - Search Bar: Use the search bar to search for the resource you are looking for.

- Cached: Once the material has been successfully downloaded, its icon will be highlighted. You can then drag and drop the material to the workspace.
Libraries
The Libraries section comprises built-in models and advanced resources created and added by users. If you do not have any available resources in My Resources, you can still experience DataMesh Studio using the built-in models available in Libraries.
Elements pane
The Elements pane is on the bottom left of the interface and contains all the elements in the current scene.
The Elements pane supports the following functions:

The workspace displays various elements that you have added to the current scene, including:
-
- Light Source: By default, every new scenario contains two light sources
. - Camera: By default, every new scenario contains one camera
. - User-added resources, such as models in the scene.
- Scenario name: The current scenario name is shown in the top-left corner of the workspace. The default format for scenario names is “Project-<date>-<number>”. You can change the scenario name when saving the scenario.
- View cube
: Located in the upper-right corner of the workspace, the view cube indicates the current viewing angle direction. Clicking the view cube allows you to switch between six views (front view, rear view, left view, right view, top view, and bottom view). - Focus button

: Gives a list view of the order of scenes and chapters in the current scenario.
-
Attributes pane
The attributes pane is located on the right side of the interface and enables you to edit the attributes of scenes and elements. You can add actions to elements and configure their behaviors via the attributes pane.
The attributes pane is context-sensitive; it shows the attributes of anything that is selected.
If nothing is selected, then the attributes pane will display attributes of the overall scene.
The following picture illustrates the layout of the attributes pane if a model is selected:
For more details about the parameters in the attributes pane, please refer to following sections:
-
- Set scene attributes: This section introduces how to edit and configure scene attributes.
- Elements: This chapter introduces various elements in the scenario and provides guidance on how to edit and adjust elements’ attributes.
- Actions : This chapter helps you understand how to add and configure action effects for elements.
Timeline
The timeline is located directly below the workspace and contains thumbnails of all the scenes for easy recognition. The order of the scenes goes from earliest at the left to latest at the right. In addition, users can click on each thumbnail to quickly switch to the scene that the thumbnail represents. Here are the features of the timeline:
-
- Add Scene: By right clicking and selecting this option, you can add a scene directly to the right of the selected scene. Additionally, you can add a new scene at the end of the timeline by clicking on the “+” button.
- Delete Scene: Delete the selected scene.
- New Chapter: Create a new chapter.
- Add Previous Scene: Add a previous scene to the current scene.
Additionally, you can navigate through the timeline via keyboard shortcuts:
-
- ← switch to the previous scene.
- → switch to the next scene.
The timeline provides an intuitive interface for managing and navigating scenes. It gives users the ability to easily locate and switch between different scenes and manage and adjust scene settings.
