00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.580
The interface of the Unigine editor is easy to understand and use.
2
00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:09.500
The interface includes several main windows.
3
00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:12.020
The window;
4
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:15.340
the hierarchy window;
5
00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:17.640
the window;
6
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.380
the ;
7
00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:23.279
and the at the top.
8
00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:27.400
The Scene Viewport is the main working space.
9
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:32.380
It allows us to view and interact with the objects in our virtual world.
10
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:38.500
The Asset Browser window displays all available assets we can use in our world or project.
11
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.900
Asset is any item of the project's content
12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.400
stored in a file on our hard drive.
13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.000
Via the Asset Browser, we can easily manage all these files;
14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.000
including 3D models;
15
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:54.199
textures, audio files;
16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.400
and other assets.
17
00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:02.000
The World Hierarchy window displays all the Nodes added to our virtual world.
18
00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:06.880
We are able to rearrange and organize the Nodes to fit our needs.
19
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:10.940
For example, making groups of parent and child Nodes
20
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.720
to compose the whole world hierarchy.
21
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:17.240
We can also filter existing Nodes by name
22
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:19.399
to quickly find the ones we need.
23
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:23.200
The Parameters window is a context dependent window,
24
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.200
which gives us access to all of the parameters of the selected object.
25
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.960
When we select an asset in the Asset browser or a Node,
26
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.500
either in this Scene Viewport or the World Hierarchy window,
27
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:37.800
its parameters and details are displayed in this window.
28
00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.860
Multi selection editing is also supported.
29
00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:44.619
The Toolbar consists of Positioning Panel;
30
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:46.080
Helpers Panel;
31
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:48.240
and the Play Pause Control.
32
00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:50.820
The Positioning Panel contains the tools
33
00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:53.610
that are used to place Nodes via the Scene Viewport.
34
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.940
The Transform tools allow us to manipulate the Nodes in our world.
35
00:01:58.240 --> 00:01:59.440
We can select;
36
00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:00.419
move;
37
00:02:00.940 --> 00:02:01.640
rotate;
38
00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:03.460
and scale the Node.
39
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.880
The next two switches lets you choose the Pivot point
40
00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:11.100
and coordinate system for the manipulations with the selected Nodes.
41
00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:15.040
Access controls allow us to toggle the axes we work with.
42
00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:17.240
Snapping Tools
43
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.899
help to place the Nodes precisely using Snapping by grid;
44
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:22.620
angle;
45
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:26.200
scale;
46
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.960
snapping to the closest surface;
47
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:32.620
and dropping to ground.
48
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.780
The Helpers Panel provides access to auxiliary visualizers
49
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.100
for additional support in world building.
50
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.260
There is an FPS counter;
51
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:43.740
object bounds;
52
00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:45.980
and wireframe visualizers;
53
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.700
icons and gizmos and other helpers.
54
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.020
The Play Pause Control allows us to toggle
55
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:56.300
all the animations and simulations, including script logic in our World.
56
00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:59.080
Windows can be easily detached;
57
00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:00.900
grouped, and rearranged;
58
00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:04.640
so we can quickly create a new layout to fit our preferences.
59
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.899
So these are the main windows and panels of the Unigine Editor;
60
00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:13.299
which provide the functionality to create virtual worlds.
61
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.800
For more detailed information on each of these windows,
62
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.600
