Open a .vrscene

Section
Column
width40%

A .vrscene file can be opened in Project Lavina in one of two ways:

FIle > Open Scene > Select the .vrscene;

or you can drag-n-drop the .vrscene file directly into Project Lavina and it automatically renders the scene.

Loading Assets

You can drag-n-drop any supported file directly into Lavina to load it.

Objects

Section
Column
width40%

If a scene is being rendered and you drag-n-drop a .vrmesh or .vrscene file you get two options - to Merge the new asset with the currently opened scene or to Discard the currently open scene, while keeping the new asset.

This example shows adding a .vrmesh file into an already opened scene and assigning few materials to it one after another.

In addition, you can rotate, scale and move each object around. First enter the Selection mode by pressing the selection (Image Removed) button. Select the object and press W for moving, E for rotation and R for scale. Press the Q button to go back to selection.

You can also hide/unhide any object from the Objects tab and check/uncheck the box next to the object's name.

Save and Load Configuration (.vrdx) Files

...

width40%

Once you configure the settings of your scene, you can save them as a configuration file - .vrdx and use them later on.

...

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Save scene config file option saves a .vrdx file with the same name as the .vrscene file. This configuration is automatically loaded every time you load the scene.

The Save scene config file as option allows you to save a .vrdx file with different name.

 

In this example, we show two interior light configurations - one for day light and one for night/dusk light, that we save and then compare.

We use LUT files to enhance the lighting and tweak the lights' intensity and color to match day or night light feeling for the scene.

Save and Select Cameras

...

width40%

When loading a .vrscene in Lavina, it opens the default .vrscene camera.

Navigating through the scene, you can save many camera views and go back to them when needed.

Go to and press the Save New Camera Slot button in the right corner (Image Removed). A new camera slot from the current view is created, which you can rename.

Render a High Quality Snapshot Offline

Section
Column
width40%

You can render a high quality snapshot from the current view. Go to Tools > Render a High Quality Snapshot. In the pop-up window you can select the resolution and the Samples for the render. The more Samples you use, the better the quality of the render, but this comes at the cost of time.

You can also enable the Save as defaults option to set the current settings as your default.

Choose the output directory, name and format.

When the render is in progress you can Stop and save the frame with the reached quality, or Pause, or Abort the render.
