A scene is an arrangement of 3D objects (models), backdrops, lights and cameras.
The Scene Wizard automates the creation of scenes by allowing you to choose either complete Scene Templates or to choose various objects, camera angles, backdrops and lighting effects to create your own custom scene.
To use the Scene Wizard simply select one of the main categories - Logo Templates, Photo Studio, Indoor Scenes or Outdoor Scenes - and click Next to move to the next hierarchical level. You can continue moving through the Scene Wizard hierarchy by making selections and clicking Next or by just double-clicking on the preview of the selection. In many cases you can view more choices by clicking in the scroll bar. Once you have made all the selections for the path you have chosen, the Next button will be replaced with a Done button. Click Done to apply the Scene Wizard selections to your scene.
The Scene Wizard can be used to create new scenes, or to apply the Scene Wizard to an existing scene that you have already begun. If you apply the Scene Wizard to an existing file, it will replace all of your current lights with those from the Scene Wizard.
The Scene Wizard is designed to give you a starting point for creating the exact scene you want. Every element of a scene, including the objects, lights, cameras and backdrops can be deleted or modified to fit your design needs.
Many scenes in the Scene Wizard contain text. Because you may have different typefaces in your particular system, we've designed the Wizard Scenes with basic serif and sans-serif fonts. Once you've created a scene you can easily change the typefaces by double-clicking on any text object and choosing a different font in the Text Modeling window that appears.
Some of the Scene Wizard selections may create a scene where other cameras or lights are within the view of the current camera. These objects will not appear in your renderings.
