Objects

Objects are 3D models that can be loaded into the scene.

Objects in scene

Objects cast shadows on the projection screen, and the user can evaluate the object positions and the occluded parts of the projected image.

When an object model is loaded, the user can choose to let the program scale and move the object within a unit cube. This feature is useful when imported models were created with coordinate systems different from the coordinate system of Immersive Designer PRO. After the object model is scaled and moved into a unit cube, the user can still use the scale and move controls to position and scale the object if needed.

Use the Tools/Model shaping utility to correct the model's scale, orientation, and alignment before loading the model into the scene.

Configuration

The objects control panel is the main configuration panel for adding, removing, and configuring object models in the 3D scene.
