Scenes

Scenes

Qodat has three type of scenes.

1. main-scene This scene is linked to the Main view,
2. viewer-scene This scene is linked to the Viewer view.
3. editor-scene This scene is linked to the Editor view.

Each scene is tied to a specific view of the application, when you select a renderable node in a view, it will add it to its associated scene.

Scene selection

You can select the currently displayed scene by using the drop-down menu shown above.

When you select a view, Qodat will automatically switch to the scene associated with that view.

If you don't want this automatic switching, you can lock the scene being shown by pressing the black lock button next to the scene selection drop down menu.

Scene providers

Nodes can implement scene providers that define an (interactable) element for the type of view it is providing for. There are currently three types of providers implemented.

• TreeItemProvider: Nodes implementing this provider will be added to the scene tree view.

• SceneNodeProvider: Nodes implementing this provider will be added to the scene canvas.

• ViewNodeProvider: Nodes implementing this provider can be added to a ViewNodeListView.

Scene Nodes tree view

Every node added to a scene that implements a TreeItemProvider is added to the tree view.
