03 / CAMERA ANGLES

One scene.
Two angles.

The kitchen, cast and props stay in place in both images below. Only the camera moves. Try a different angle or lens, then use Scene view to look around without changing your saved shot.

PRACTICAL NOTES

A few practical things.

What do I need to use sceneshape?

Sceneshape runs directly in your browser, with no download or installation required. It is designed for larger screens, where there is more room to compose a scene and use the controls. It can also run on tablets and smartphones, though the available space and performance will vary by device.

Where does my work save?

The editor saves your project in this browser on this device. Download the editable project file for a backup or to move between devices. Cloud storage uses explicit import and export: bring a project file into your account to keep a copy, then export it when you need it. Cloud copies do not update automatically.

What can I do in the demo?

Explore sixteen scenes, including six new themed examples. Move the existing people and props, try poses, and change the camera. The demo keeps its original objects and scenes; adding, deleting and duplicating are available in your own storyboard. Reloading resets the demo. Your own storyboard saves separately.

Can I make something outside the catalog?

The component builder lets you combine boxes, spheres and cylinders into a custom model, including poseable parts. You can also resize the supplied models. Arbitrary 3D model file import is not currently supported.

Can I use the supplied models in a commercial project?

The supplied human assets are CC0; the other models are original procedural geometry made for this app. See the model sources and license review for details.
